WHAT the ???? is wifi.

WHAT the ???? is wifi.

"wireless fidelity". In casual use it means wireless internet access. In the US, most Starbucks, competitive coffee shops, airports, hotels and motels offer wireless internet access either for free or at some cost. Free breakfast and free WiFi are common things motels use to differentiate themselves from their competition.

I probably used it incorrectly. Wifi seems to be a brand. While wifi is wireless, not all wireless is wifi apparently. Kind of like my grandparents using the term frigidare regarding a refrigerator of any brand, while Frigidare was one of the first.

Ken, it was local. It's been a tradition on my wife's side that the entire family meets at a local hotel the day after Thanksgiving each year. Much of the day spent in the pool & hot tub. Lots of fun for the kids. A good time for all!

Just like "Hoover" for vacuum cleaner. Or "Lux" for the same. As in "Electrolux".

Or to be "Frau'd" as in "Darryl'd".

Not sure there is a correct usage yet. I was unable to find a brand name although 30 seconds with Google is hardly an exhaustive search. There is confusion because in some cases there seems to be a specific technology behind the term. If I had to be anal and precise I'd use "wireless" to refer to IEEE 801 A, B, G, and N which is basically what you use to get from your computer to a wireless access point and "WiFi" to apply to infrastructure - the wireless alternative to dial up or a cable modem or DSL line or fiber optic line. The confusion comes because a properly equipped computer can connect directly to WiFI and in some cases people connect a wireless access point to a WiFi node to provide access. (Who let the geek in? Close the door before another one shows up. And let's lobby for wireless standards E and D so that we can connect our Guilds directly to the internet using 801 E,A,D,G, B or high speed E)
