How Does Wi-Fi Work?

Wi-Fi, short for Wireless Fidelity, is like magic that lets our devices talk to each other without any physical wires. Imagine Wi-Fi as a superhero that uses invisible waves, just like the ones you see on the water when you throw a stone into a pond.

Here’s the trick: Wi-Fi uses radio waves, a type of energy that travels through the air. These waves carry information, like your favorite song or the latest game level, from your router (the device that connects to the internet) to your phone, tablet, or computer.

Picture your router as a DJ at a concert, sending out signals in all directions. Your device, like a fan in the crowd, catches these signals. The information is then transformed from radio waves back into your favorite song or the game you’re playing.

So, Wi-Fi is like a magical radio station in the air, making sure you can enjoy the internet without any messy wires.
