Tech Wing Bites: What is Wi-Fi?

“The internet is not working” That’s what moms would say… when her cellular signal drops and no longer connected to the Wi-Fi—that magical thing that gives us internet while we’re home.

It’s All Around You

Wi-Fi lets your devices connect to the internet without wires—using invisible radio waves. It’s like a digital bridge between your device and the online world—while your in the building.

3 Components to Remember

1. The Wi-Fi Router 📶
   The router takes radio signals and sends them out around the house—kinda like a mini radio station for your home.

2. Your Device Connects 📱💻
   Phones, laptops and tablets have tiny antennas that pick up those Wi-Fi signals and connect instantly. Boom—you’re on social media.

3. Buffering…. 📈
   The farther you are from the router—or the more walls between you & the signal—the longer you’ll have to wait for that post.⌚ That’s the frequencies come in:

   1. Wi-Fi uses 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. One is better for distance, the other for speed—and modern routers often use both!

Home or Office

So, you’re home, connected to the Wi-Fi, that’s your Internet Source. You leave and head to the office—your cellular provider(say AT&T) gives you internet on the go. Then you arrive at the office. Your phone automatically connects to Wi-Fi—cause you previously connected when you got hired. Now you’re back online. 📶

Wi-Fi 🛜

So next time you connect to Wi-Fi, remember—it’s like tuning into your personal internet radio station! Go get them Wi-Fi tunes.🎶

• Fun Fact: “Wi-Fi” doesn’t actually stand for anything! It was just a catchy name created to sound like “Hi-Fi” (high fidelity audio).

Stay Connected.
