Do you know how Wi-Fi networks work?

[bitheerani93]

Wi-Fi networks are already very present in our daily lives, whether in our homes, places of study or work, or in leisure areas such as bars, restaurants, etc. These networks help save data packages and provide practical and fast browsing, without excessive wires and cables in the environment.

But do you know what a Wi-Fi network consists of? And how it works? To put an dominican republic whatsapp list to your doubts, we have prepared a brief and simple explanation on how you can browse the internet using wireless devices.

What are Wi-Fi networks?

The term Wi-Fi is an acronym for the English words Wireless Fidelity, which when translated into Portuguese, we get “Wireless network fidelity”, that is, Wi-Fi networks work from wireless connections, having emerged as a military strategy that enabled communication between different distant bases.

Over the years, this concept has evolved and expanded, making Wi-Fi networks very common and found in many places across the four corners of the planet.

And how do they work?

To understand how Wi-Fi networks work , you need to know that they operate on a radio standard whose frequency (802.11) is stipulated by IEEE, an acronym for “Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers”, which is an institute equivalent to ABNT in the United States.

In addition to radio frequency, for Wi-Fi networks to work, a device is needed to adapt the networks from traditional to wireless connections. This device is what we call a router.

The router performs its function by transforming ADSL wired network signals into radio frequency waves, making wireless connections possible.

The way a wireless network works is very similar to that of cell phones, televisions and radios, being very close to the “transmitter-receiver” concept that can occur in the following way:

– A wireless adapter present in devices such as computers and smartphones translates the received data into radio frequency signals and transmits this same data to an antenna.
