About Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi (short for "wireless fidelity" and sometimes referred to as
wifi) is a term used for certain types of Wireless Local Area
Networks (WLAN). These device types use an 802.11 wireless
specification to transmit and receive wireless data. Wi-Fi
communication requires access to an existing and accessible
144
Wireless Access Point (WAP). These WAPs can either be
Open (unsecured) as within most Hot Spots, or Secured
(requiring knowledge of the Router name and password).

Wi-Fi on makes your device able to discover and connect to
compatible in-range WAPs.
