WiFivõrk

WiFivõrk, often referred to as a Wi-Fi network, is a wireless networking technology that allows devices such as computers, smartphones, and other internet-enabled gadgets to connect to the internet or communicate with each other without the need for physical cables. It operates by using radio waves to transmit data between a wireless router or access point and the connected devices. The term Wi-Fi is a brand name and is based on the IEEE 802.11 standards, which define the protocols for wireless local area networks.

Wi-Fi networks are commonly found in homes, offices, public spaces like coffee shops and airports, and educational institutions. They offer convenience and mobility, allowing users to access the internet from various locations within the network's range. The range of a Wi-Fi network can vary depending on the router, obstacles such as walls, and interference from other electronic devices, but typically extends from a few meters to several tens of meters indoors.

To connect to a Wi-Fi network, a device needs to have a compatible wireless adapter. Users typically select the desired network from a list of available networks and may need to enter a password for security. Wi-Fi networks can be secured using encryption protocols like WPA2 or WPA3 to prevent unauthorized access. The speed and performance of a Wi-Fi network depend on factors such as the standard used (e.g., 802.11ac, 802.11ax), the capabilities of the router and connected devices, and the available internet bandwidth.
