What is a Wi-fi?
It is a wireless technology brand owned by the Wi-Fi Alliance, promotes standards with the aim of improving the interoperability of wireless local area network products based on the IEEE 802.11 standards. Common applications for Wi-Fi include internet and VoIP phone access, gaming and network connecttivity for consumer such as tv, DVD players and digital cameras.
Theres no such thing as free nowadays- wifi in coffeeshops like starbucks, seattles best, ucc, or in any hot spots are not for free- u have to purchase a card in order to connect- you can connect to the network but in order to access the internet, you have to open a browser and type the username and password written on the wifi card- its Php 100 for an hour.
To configure wifi on laptops- if your laptop has an internal wireless card,u can just open it up and it will automatically search for a wireless network- the only way u can connect to wireless networks for free is if your neighbor/company has a router that does not have a WEP key.
To access free wifi, either you must have a wifi-ready laptop, or a laptop with a wifi usb dongle or a laptop with a pcmcia wifi card. then you're ready to go. either way, your laptop will automatically detect the networks available or you have to search for it, manually.
no need to configure since it's a matter of choosing the network and connecting to it.
once you're in the area where wifi signal can be seen, surf away.
There are a lot of wifi free areas. it's just a matter of location. if you're the type of person who frequents the famous coffee shops, you really have to pay -- either its an airborne access or a globewiz. good thing blast prepaid card through airborne access offers wifi for 100 an hour -- quite expensive though.
