  1. Wireless off-line drop service=wi-fi or wireless it receives it's signal from towers like cell phone towers to a wireless modem hooked-up to your computer,mostly Motorola devices ,and the serial # is put in the internet databases to allow you to connect to there towers


  2. long cat

  3. The term "Wi-Fi" suggests "Wireless Fidelity", comparing with the long-established audio recording term "High Fidelity" or "Hi-Fi", and "Wireless Fidelity" has often been used in an informal way, even by the Wi-Fi Alliance itself, but officially the term does not mean anything.

  4. The precursor to Wi-Fi was invented in 1991 by NCR Corporation/AT&T (later Lucent & Agere Systems) in Nieuwegein, the Netherlands. It was initially intended for cashier systems; the first wireless products were brought on the market under the name WaveLAN with speeds of 1 Mbit/s to 2 Mbit/s. Vic Hayes, who held the chair of IEEE 802.11 for 10 years and has been named the 'father of Wi-Fi,' was involved in designing standards such as IEEE 802.11b, and 802.11a.

  5. Wireless routers. It's wireless internet signals that can be picked up by computers, laptops and other portable devices providing they have some sort of wireless card or antenna to detect the signals.

  7. from a man who knew 2 dogs at the same time....is what i heard !!!

  8. wi-fi comes from the 1241 orbiting wi-fi stations in space and send the signal free of charge to anyone that wants it. You can log on anywhere in the world at anytime and the speeds are great you can get around 500-900GBps speeds or download a whole 2hr movie or the last 6 alabama vs AUBURN gms that alabama lost  in 1-5secs. Thanks

  9. it comes from heaven. It a god gift to us.

    It is rumored, that Linksys is the largest wifi isp or WISP provider in the world. The best thing is that is free, excpept for those signals that have a lock on them, these are paid versions.
