Despite the similarity between the terms "Wi-Fi" and "Hi-Fi", statements reportedly [3] made by Theerapon P. of the Tong charoen Gold contradict the popular conclusion that "Wi-Fi" stands for "Wireless Fidelity".

According to Mr. Belanger, the Interbrand Corporation developed the brand "Wi-Fi" for the Wi-Fi Alliance to use to describe WLAN products that are based on the IEEE 802.11 standards. In Mr. Belanger's words, "Wi-Fi and the yin yang style logo were invented by Interbrand. We (the founding members of the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance, now called the Wi-Fi Alliance) hired Interbrand to come up with the name and logo that we could use for our interoperability seal and marketing efforts. We needed something that was a little catchier than 'IEEE 802.11b Direct Sequence'."

The Wi-Fi Alliance themselves invoked the term "Wireless Fidelity" with the marketing of a tag line, "The Standard for Wireless Fidelity," but later removed the tag from their marketing. The Wi-Fi Alliance now seems to discourage propagation of the notion that "Wi-Fi" stands for "Wireless Fidelity" but includes it in their knowledge base:

To understand the value of Wi-Fi Certification, you need to know that Wi-Fi is short
for "Wireless Fidelity," and it is the popular name for 802.11-based technologies that
have passed Wi-FI certification testing. This includes IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g and
upcoming 802.11 technologies.

If you are looking for full form then its wireless fidelity. kind of similar to Hi-fi or High-fidelity.

All it means is that whether your computer/laptop supports the wireless way of communication with the router so that it can connect to the Internet/networks instead of using a CAT cable.

A prompt community makes use of radio waves, a twin of cell phones, televisions and radios do. surely, verbal replace for the time of a prompt community is a lot like 2-way radio verbal replace. right here is what takes position: one million.a laptop's prompt adapter interprets documents right into a radio signal and transmits it using an antenna. 2.A prompt router receives the signal and decodes it. The router sends the techniques to the internet using a actual, stressed Ethernet connection.

wi-fi means wireless fidelity, or wlan - wireless local area network - which is a network through wireless signals (lan).

other terms used in my household for wireless lan are:
*stupid thing
*pick up a signal you c-u-n-t
*piece of s-h-i-t
*wheres the ethernet cable

they are un-reliable, slow, annoying, and basically they peck head!
