People assume the fi is for Fidelity but wi-fi technically doesnt stand for anyting, its a pun on hi-fi which was high fidelity.

WLAN/Wireless Local Area Network technology is a data radio frequency. Wi-Fi is a trademark. Like "Tivo" is to DVR.

It's a pun on "Hi-Fi" and "wireless fidelity" doesn't mean anything. Thanks for doing the ChaCha!

WiFi is an acronym for the term Wireless Fidelity, not Wireless internet like most think. ChaCha for now!
