What is Wi-Fi?

Wi-Fi is the acronym for Wireless Fidelity, essentially a set of standards for transmitting data over a wireless network.

Wi-Fi allows you to connect to the net at broadband speeds without cables, as long as you have the right equipment and, in most cases, a regular internet service provider and a wireless router. To understand the technology behind Wi-Fi, imagine using a walkie-talkie. Your voice is picked up by a microphone, encoded onto a radio frequency and transmitted with the antenna to another walkie-talkie, which decodes your voice. Wi-Fi works in broadly in the same way, but using a better radio that is capable of handling a lot more data per second.
