Wi-Fi provides for wireless Ethernet transmission primarily between laptops and local access nodes that attach to your standard corporate network Normally Wi-Fi networking chips are located in hardware that hangs on a ceiling or wall and provides access within a 300-foot area

For now, this Wi-Fi technology is used with cable or DSL
