Wi-Fi is a technology that has revolutionized the way we network computers and electronic devices together, making wired connections unnecessary. This said, Wi-Fi and its terminology can be confusing.

Researchers at Brigham Young University have created a new RF protocol that runs on top of existing consumer Wi-Fi at significantly greater range. But before you get too excited, the protocol’s ...

As our digital world continues to advance at an unprecedented pace, the demands for wireless connectivity have never been greater. This surge in need is giving rise to a transformation in the wireless ...

Forget 802.11ax. Say hello to Wi-Fi 6. The Wi-Fi Alliance announced that it will add generation numbers to its trademarked Wi-Fi name, which indicates a device meets its compatibility tests, rather ...

A group of researchers led by a BYU computer engineering professor has created a protocol that significantly extends the distance a Wi-Fi-enabled device can send and receive signals. The engineering ...

Wi-Fi 7 is poised to deliver 33Gbps wireless speeds. Routers supporting the new protocol could arrive as soon as 2023. Wi-Fi 7, the next generation Wi-Fi protocol, is nearly here and promises speeds ...

A major vulnerability has been discovered in the protocol governing basically all modern wi-fi routers. Here’s what we know so far. If you’ve set up a home wi-fi network, at some point you’ve ...

A group of researchers led by a Brigham Young University computer engineering professor has created a protocol that significantly extends the distance a Wi-Fi-enabled ...

Few emerging technologies share the transformative potential of the Internet of Things (IoT). Beyond the added convenience of billions of smart, connected devices that already exist in homes and ...

The latest generation Wi-Fi protocol brings better speeds and data handling, but it does little to bridge various communications technologies. That, in turn, makes it more difficult and more expensive ...

Connecting to public Wi-Fi hotspots can pose an element of risk, but the next generation of wireless security standard will make logging on to open networks a lot safer. The Wi-Fi Alliance has ...
