This is by using radio waves from a connectivity over a computer network and then can pass on connections to high-speed Internet connections. The WiFi Alliance characterizes WiFi as any wireless local area network (WLAN) products that are based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' (IEEE) 802.11 standards". In spite of this, as almost 100% of modern WLAN s are following these standards. Hence the term Wi-Fi is used in general code as a term for WLAN.
A device that can use Wi-Fi such as a personal computer, videogame console, mobile phone ,android tablet, digital audio player, smart tv ,games console, I-phone,I-pad, separate screen and many many more products can connect to a network resource such as the Internet via a wireless network access point.
Such an access point can have a range of about 20 meters indoors and a stronger range outdoors. There are different methods and hardware to bump up and spread the signals and that configuration is becoming an industry in itself.
Hotspot extent can feature an area as small as a single room with walls that block radio waves or as large as many square miles this can be achieved by using multiple overlapping access points and now usage of the cloud internet can be used to coordinate these points.
WiFi has been trademarked by the WiFi Alliance and the model name name for products or services using the IEEE 802.11 group of standards. Only WiFi products that complete Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability certification testing effectively may use the WiFi CERTIFIED name and trademark.
Wi-Fi has had a checkered security history. The encryption system of signals is continuously evolving with usage, Wired Equivalent Privacy WEP has proved easy to break.
So much higher security protocols, WPA and WPA2, have been built . The WiFi Alliance has since updated its test plan and certification program to ensure all newly certified devices resist certain security breaches this again due to usage is a critical element for some surfers of WiFi
On the internet access With WiFi
A WiFi empowered device can be connected to the Internet when within range of a wireless network. The coverage of one or more access points called Wifi hotspots can reach out from an area as small as a few rooms to as large as many square miles.
Coverage in the larger area may require a group of access points with overlapping coverage. Outdoor public Wi-Fi technology has been used with success in wireless mesh networks in a numbers of cities around the world with great successes
Wi-Fi provides service in private homes, high street chains cafes,bars,hotels,fast food outlets (McDonalds,Burger King Starbucks )independent businesses, as well as municipal buildings rail networks service station networks. Also in many public spaces at Wi-Fi hotspots that are set up either free of charge or commercially.
Providers and business organizations, such as airports, hotels, and restaurants, often provide free-use hotspots to attract customers. Enthusiasts or authorities who wish to provide services or even to promote business in selected areas sometimes provide free Wi-Fi access.
Access Points with various routers that provide a digital subscriber line modem or a cable modem and a Wi-Fi access point, often set up in homes and other properties, provide Internet access and internet working to all devices accessing them, wirelessly or via cable.
Also there are cell driven mobile routers that consist of a cellular mobile Internet radio modem and WiFi access point. When subscribed to a cellular phone carrier, they allow nearby WiFi stations and devices to connect and then to start using the Internet over 2G, 3G, or 4G networks. So WiFi multiplies the devices able to be connected to an access point however that access point can be on the internet.
