What does 'WIFI' stand for? I know what it is.


Short for wireless fidelity and is meant to be used generically when
referring of any type of 802.11 network, whether 802.11b, 802.11a,
dual-band, etc. The term is promulgated by the Wi-Fi Alliance.
Any products tested and approved as "Wi-Fi Certified" (a registered
trademark) by the Wi-Fi Alliance are certified as interoperable with
each other, even if they are from different manufacturers. A user with
a "Wi-Fi Certified" product can use any brand of access point with any
other brand of client hardware that also is certified. Typically,
however, any Wi-Fi product using the same radio frequency (for
example, 2.4GHz for 802.11b or 11g, 5GHz for 802.11a) will work with
any other, even if not "Wi-Fi Certified."
