Wi-Fi


Wi-Fi Enabled Device:

Wi-Fi Hostspots:
A wireless network which is to be used for anyone having a Wi-Fi enabled device and who 1) is within the range of the network 2) is allowed to use the Hotspot.

Free Wi-Fi Hotspots:
Some companies provide Wi-Fi free within their range.

Ad-hoc Mode in Wi-Fi communications (Client to Client):
Devices can communicate with each other directly without a router for example a Wi-Fi enabled laptop can communicate directly with another Wi-Fi enabled laptop.

In this mode, no router or access point is needed, miracle!

This mode is mainly used with multiplayer handheld game consoles, digital cameras.
