I suck at this crap. What is wifi and how do you know if you have it?

Replies Tavis Posted at 5:04 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 WiFi is, in my mind, wireless internet that connect games, computers, and everything's internet. Now, the biggest giveaway if you have WiFi is whether or not you have a wireless router. They are usually less the 75$, and connect to your modem, and send out wireless internet signals. On laptops, it will pick these signals up, and will give you a list of available ones. Some may be secure, "locked", and others not. Anyone can take the insecure ones, but you need a password for the secure ones. So, if you don't have one, you don't have WiFi internet. Now, if you have a Wii or other game system, it might also send out signals, but not internet. For some games, you can use your DS, and the Wii sends out the signals for the DS to pick up, but only specifically for the DS. piertangent Posted at 8:58 am on Aug. 23, 2008 Post from this position was omitted due to content violations psychotickid555 Posted at 8:54 am on Aug. 23, 2008 if you have a wireless router and can still get internet without your cpu plugged in King Kong Posted at 8:52 am on Aug. 23, 2008 Do you have a rooter with your computer? Molfsontan Posted at 8:52 am on Aug. 23, 2008 You need a certain router that connects to your computer, otherwise you can look in your internet connections. heaaatherlynn Posted at 8:52 am on Aug. 23, 2008 Post from this position was omitted due to content violations All 6 previous replies displayed.
