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.
