Yes, I tried to read up on it, but nobody said anything in all the googling I did about the 'fi' . All those letters for me should mean something rather than sit there for nothing. Even in a wi-fi alliance the 'fi' should stand for something.

What does the "fi" in wifi stand for wireless -- what?

Probably nothing, really. It was a name dreamed up by the marketers at the Wi-Fi Alliance when they changed their name from the far less catchy WECA back in the 90s. They're a trade group that tries to make sure the 802.11 wireless standards are satisfied.
