What is WiFi?

Since the beginning of the radio age people have struggled with getting more and better reception to their radio receivers. Today one of the newest forms of radio reception is WiFi which is also known as 802.11. WiFi is a digital transmission that is carried over radio waves and typically is used to transport internet or other media from one location to another. Similar to AM and FM reception WiFi requires special antennas which are made specifically for each wireless application.

What is WiFi?

WiFi is short for Wireless Fidelity. It was originally designed for sharing information between computers in a home or business without using wires. Today WiFi is on the rise and is one of the most popular ways to communicate. Devices like computers, radios, cell phones, cameras, and even TV sets use WiFi as a way to send and receive information.


Why is WiFi important to me?

WiFi is a great way to access the internet and because it's wireless, you have the freedom to be mobile and still communicate worldwide. More and more shops and public facilities are offering free wireless hotspot for connecting to the internet. In these places, you can access free internet with your WiFi enabled computer, phone, or WiFi Internet Radio.


How do I get hooked up to WiFi?

You're going to need to get a WiFi device for your desired application. If it is Internet radio that you want to acquire then you will need to get a WiFi Internet Radio. If you want to browse the Internet then you will need to get a WiFi enabled computer or simply buy our Super USB WiFi Antenna 3 to enable WiFi on a non WiFi computer. When your equipment is within range of a WiFi Internet hotspot you will be able to connect to the Internet.


How do I make my home a WiFi Internet Hotspot?

You will need to get a broadband Internet connection through your local phone company or cable TV company. There is usually a monthly service charge for broadband internet. Typically your phone or cable company will offer various levels of high speed internet that cost different prices. Any level should be good for browsing and streaming internet radio. In some cases high speed internet will cost as little as $15 monthly. After acquiring broadband internet you will need a device to broadcast the internet throughout your house. This device is called a "Wireless Access Point" or "Wireless Router" and typically cost as little as $30 at your local electronics store. After setting up the wireless router with the supplied CD you will have made your home into a WiFi Internet hotspot.
