    Wi-Fi allows wireless devices to connect to the internet through a wireless router. It was invented in 1997 through the IEEE 802.11 committee to create wireless networking standards. Wi-Fi works by having devices connect to an access point or wireless router that is connected to the internet, allowing wireless data transmission. It provides benefits like mobility, convenience, and easy expansion but also has disadvantages like slower speeds, limited range, and reduced bandwidth when many devices connect.

    INTRODUCTION
    1. WIFI is an alternative network to wired network which is commonly used for connecting
    devices in wireless mode.
    2. A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks.
    3. A router is connected to two or more data lines from one single network.
    4. When data packets come in on one of the lines, router reads the information in the packet
    to determine its ultimate destination.
    WHAT IS WI-FI?

    Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that allows devices such as


    computers (laptops and desktops), mobile devices (smart phones and
    wearables), and other equipment (printers and video cameras) to
    interface with the Internet. It allows these devices--and many more--
    to exchange information with one another, creating a network.
    Internet connectivity occurs through a wireless router. When you
    access Wi-Fi, you are connecting to a wireless router that allows your
    Wi-Fi-compatible devices to interface with the Internet.
    HISTORY
    • Wi-Fi was invented and first released for consumers in 1997, when a committee called
    802.11 was created. This lead to the creation of IEE802.11, which refers to a set of
    standards that define communication for wireless local area networks (WALANs).
    HOW WI-FI WORKS?

    If you've been in an airport, coffee shop, library or hotel


    recently, chances are you've been right in the middle of a
    wireless network. Many people also use wireless networking,
    also called WiFi or 802.11 networking, to connect their
    computers at home, and some cities are trying to use the
    technology to provide free or low-cost Internet access to
    residents. In the near future, wireless networking may become
    so widespread that you can access the Internet just about
    anywhere at any time, without using wires.
    ADVANTAGES
    1. Expandability 

    Adding new users to a Wifi network is an easy task. With the proper Wireless LAN credentials, more users
    can access the Wifi network. Additionally there is no need to install any new type of equipment, all can be
    done with the existing. This significantly saves time and effort of the clients.

    2. Convenience 

    Wireless networks allows multiple users to connect through the same network. In a fraction of seconds
    without any configurations, connections can be made through the router or a hotspot technology. 

    3. Mobility 

    As long as you are in the range of a Wifi Access Point, your regular works from anywhere you want
    especially with the mobile devices. 
    DISADVANTAGES
    1. Speed 
    The speed of a Wifi connections are far more slower than a wired connection (around 1-54 Mbps). That is too just
    one device connected to the dedicated servers. This may look fine as long as there are few devices connected to
    the network. The moment when there are more devices connected, you could experience a drastic reduction in
    speed.

    2. Range
    Range offered by a Wifi network is limited, typically around 100-150 feet. While it is sufficient for a normal home, it can
    actually be a problem for building structures.

    3. Bandwidth 
    Many routers only allows 30 maximum devices to be connected. The bandwidth of the Wifi network gets weaker
    as you add more devices. It is solely reserved for a single user. Most often when the bandwidth gets limited users
    can experience slow speeds.
    CONCLUSION
    • Wireless communications has a lot of benefits and can
    make the world a lot more efficient. Wireless
    technology will be very important in the near future
    where the need for wires connecting individual devices
    seems to be coming to an end. With more research
    and experiments conducted, the problems associated
    with wireless communications can be reduced and
    make it more significant part of the world.
