I think the term wireless means whichever communications tools you have that require no wire; example a cordless telephone is called wireless. The term Wifi generally referred to the connection between two computer parts; specifically used for connecting LAN: local area network.
If you have a computer with wifi capability and you've signed up for an internet provider wifi system, once you see a hotspot, you can tap in you computer and browse into the internet without having to plug in. That is mostly the used of the term wifi nowaday. Go to Starbuck and play this Yahoo Answer.

WiFi is a standard within the various wireless standards. Think of it as wireless Ethernet.

You need a router, lan card or wireless adapter; or pc laptop with wi fi built in. Set up your router and wi fi contraptions, configure your network and bob's your uncle. I didn't know there was a difference between wi fi and wireless..

None. Just commercial terminology.
