| Wi-Fi is the popular term used to refer to the technology that allows wireless networking between local computers and seemingly wireless access to the Internet. Wi-Fi stands for wireless fidelity and is an obvious play on the audio pre-stereo term IIi-Fi, meaning high fidelity. Setting up a wireless network is inexpensive and reasonably easy to accomplish.
