WiFivõrkude

WiFivõrkude, a term referring to Wi-Fi networks, are a ubiquitous wireless networking technology that allows devices to connect to the internet or to a local network without physical cables. The technology is based on the IEEE 802.11 standards, which define the protocols for wireless local area networks. Wi-Fi networks operate by using radio waves to transmit data between devices and a wireless access point, commonly known as a router. These access points are connected to a wired network, such as the internet, and broadcast a wireless signal that compatible devices can detect and connect to.

Users typically connect to a Wi-Fi network by selecting the network name, often called the SSID, from a list of available networks on their device and then entering a password if the network is secured. Wi-Fi networks can be found in a multitude of locations, including homes, offices, public spaces like cafes and libraries, and airports, providing convenient internet access. The security of Wi-Fi networks is a significant consideration, with various encryption methods like WPA2 and WPA3 being employed to protect data transmitted over the network from unauthorized access. The performance and range of a Wi-Fi network can be influenced by factors such as the router's quality, the number of connected devices, and physical obstructions.
