What does Wi-Fi stand for?

Wi-Fi stands for Wireless Fidelity. It refers to a technology that allows devices like smartphones, laptops, tablets, and other electronic gadgets to connect to the internet and local networks wirelessly, using radio waves instead of wired connections.

The term Wi-Fi is often used as a marketing term, and it doesn't stand for anything specific in terms of a formal acronym. It is commonly thought to be short for "Wireless Fidelity," a play on the term Hi-Fi (High Fidelity), which refers to high-quality audio systems. Wi-Fi is used for short-range wireless communication over radio waves, typically within a range of 30 to 100 meters, depending on the environment and Wi-Fi standards.
