This article is to share with you about the differences between WLAN and wifi. The editor thinks it is very practical, so share it with you as a reference and follow the editor to have a look.

The differences between WLAN and wifi are as follows: 1. The coverage of wifi can reach about 90 meters, and the maximum of WLAN can reach 5km. 2. Wifi is a standard of WLAN. Wifi is included in WLAN and belongs to a new technology using wireless LAN protocol.

Differential analysis:

1. Wifi is included in the wireless local area network, and the power of the transmitted signal is different, and the coverage is different.

In fact, WIFI is a trademark of WL ANA (Wireless Local area Network Alliance), which only ensures that goods using this trademark can cooperate with each other, and has nothing to do with the standard itself, but because WIFI mainly uses 802.11b protocol, people are getting used to using WIF to call 802.11b protocol.

In terms of inclusion relationship, WIFI is a standard of WL AN, and WIFI is included in Wl AN, which belongs to a new technology in Wl AN protocol. The WiFi has a coverage of about 300ft (90m), and the maximum WL AN (with an antenna) can reach 5KM.

2. The range of wireless signals covered is different.

WIFI (WirelessFidelity), also known as 802.11b standard, its biggest advantage is its high transmission speed, can reach 11Mbps, in addition, its effective distance is also very long, but also compatible with a variety of existing 802.11DSSS devices. Wireless Internet has become a reality.

The coverage of radio waves is wide, and the coverage of radio waves based on Bluetooth technology is very small, with a diameter of only about 50 feet or about 15 meters, while the radius of the Wi-Fi can reach about 300 feet or about 90 meters. However, with the development of wifi technology, the coverage of wifi signals will be wider in the future.
