What is a wireless connection and what are hotspots?
A wireless connection, also referred to as “Wi-Fi,” allows a computer or handheld device, equipped with a wireless network interface card or chip, to access the network as if it were connected to an Ethernet cable plugged into the wall. Hotspots (access points) act as central transmitters and receivers of wireless local area network (LAN) radio signals to and from the computer/device.
