whats range for wi-fi.???? and does it uses radio waves???
if HI-FI = High Fidelity, does Wi-Fi = Wireless fidelity? or is the name just a crappy acronym with no real meaning?
Before hiring Interbrand in 1999 to come up with the term Wi-Fi what name did this organization go by? 64.228.88.84 ( talk) 17:05, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
The group of companies included 3Com, Aironet (acquired by Cisco), Harris Semiconductor (now Intersil), Lucent (now Alcatel-Lucent), Nokia[serial comma needed?] and Symbol Technologies (now Motorola).
The mergers are so complex and variegated it would take ten minutes of intense study to determine whether adding the serial comma is a correct edit. [Edit: For clarity, the issue here is the scope of the modifier "(now Motorola)".] — MaxEnt 23:25, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
The thumnail logo says it is the old logo. However, I can't find a "new" version of the logo. What makes this the old one?
Wi-Fi_Alliance#2.4/5GHz_Wi-Fi says: ordered in historical and capacity order, with 801.11a before 802.11b.
802.11a is 54Mbps, 802.11b is 11Mbps: not in capacity order.
802.11a is relatively contemporary with 802.11b: both ratified 1999,
802.11a is listed here as Wi-Fi 1.

list legacy/11a/11b/11g as Wi-Fi --/2/1/3, i.e. begins with WiFi 1 11b, then WiFi 2 11a
or:
https://www.electronics-notes.com/articles/connectivity/wifi-ieee-802-11/wifi-alliance-generations-designations-numbers.php
list legacy/11a/11b/11g as Wi-Fi 0/2/1/3, i.e. adds WiFi 0 legacy, then WiFi 1 11b, then WiFi 2 11a
My edits:
11a, 11b reordered: 11b first, 11b as Wi-Fi 1, add common usage citation
