A community portal about Wi-Fi with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Wi-Fi is a brand originally licensed by the Wi-Fi Alliance ® to describe the underlying technology of wireless local area networks based on the IEEE 802.11 specifications. It was developed to be used for mobile computing devices, such as laptops, in LANs, but is now increasingly used for more services, including Internet and VoIP phone access, gaming, and basic connectivity of consumer electronics such as televisions and DVD players, or digital cameras. More standards are in development that will allow Wi-Fi to be used by cars in highways in support of an Intelligent Transportation System to increase safety, gather statistics, and enable mobile commerce. Wi-Fi ® and the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED ™ logo are registered trademarks of the Wi-Fi Alliance ® - the trade organization that tests and certifies equipment compliance with the 802.11x standards.
Wifi Defense 1.021 Once Wi-Fi defense is installed it scans your network and presents to you a list of devices (computers) and ask you if they are Friend , Foe, or Unknown.

When most of us consider setting up a home network, we generally tend to be single minded. Automatically, it seems, we focus on Wi-Fi to the exclusion of any other network solution; and there are alternative solutions. Wi-Fi has obvious advantages, not the least of which is it does away with the messy job of installing network cables which tend be unsightly, and in some cases difficult to install, particularly if run between floors. On the other hand Wi-Fi can be a less than satisfactory... Read Full Story
[In-Flight Wi-Fi by American Airlines] In the next couple of years, American Airlines will expand in-flight, Wi-Fi Internet access to roughly 300 of its planes. It will charge up to $13 for Web surfing and e-mailing on a laptop for flights longer than 3 hours, though only $8 for using a smartphone like a Blackberry. Your flight will probably have the service if you're flying on an MD-80 aircraft because those planes will be outfitted with the technology first. You can check your e-ticket to... Read Full Story
There is no running away from it, that’s for sure. I’m talking about the prevalence of Wi-Fi networks around us, just take a stroll down any street in an urban area and chances are you’ll discover plenty of Wi-Fi networks and hotspots available, ranging from hidden to secured and unsecured ones. Of course, one of the final frontiers for Wi-Fi connectivity would be while you’re in the air, but soon even that ceiling will be removed 30,000 feet in the air. Alaska Airlines is the latest...

[Best Wi-Fi Hotels of 2008] 1. Thompson Hotels In the past, we have largely overlooked this cooler-than-thou boutique hotel brand from the Pomeranc brothers, at least when it came to WiFi. But Thompson has always had free WiFi in its flagship location 60 Thompson and when it opened the Hollywood Roosevelt (above), the WiFi policy remained the same. Now the small hotel group is aggressively expanding their locations. Soon there will be five Thompson Hotels in NY. There's already two in LA... Read Full Story
The popular Skype internet phone client is coming to the iPhone tomorrow; Tuesday the 31st of March. The app would allow you to make calls to other Skype users and certain compatible mobile phones for free. For a charge of roughly 2.1 cents per minute, you can also make calls to landlines. The catch here however, is that Skype can only be used when connected to a Wi-Fi network as VoIP apps are prohibited under Apple’s 3G policy. It makes sense that AT&T would not want its own customers using... Read Full Story

Southwest this week began testing their own in-flight wi-fi service, based on a satellite connection from Row 44 . It’s on one plane now with more coming soon, and right now, it’s free.
