How Wi-Fi works The creators thought
that why should radio waves be just for radio
Which means that Wi-Fi works through radio waves
the creators have learned to manipulate the transmissions from
radio into internet
How Wi-Fi works Then learned how to
make the radio waves compatible with a computer and other devices
And instead of having a radio tower you have a wireless router
How Wi-Fi works We have manipulated it
so instead of transmitting radio signals it give you access to the internet
Since it doesn’t need to have a tower the area is a lot smaller and is more secure
