What is a WiFi Network

A WiFi network is a computer network connected using wireless networking devices. The iPhone™, iPod Touch™, and most modern laptops have WiFi built in. Typically a WiFi network is connected together using a WiFi access point, a small box with radio antennas that often doubles as a router.
