Wifi is a general word which refers to Wireless LAN (Local Area Network) connection. IEEE 802.11 is a standard which uses. Both terms are used as synonyms. Wifi modems are popular in notebooks. At my place you can take a notebook in some libraries and you get wireless internet access for free. | ||
