Default Wifi


I have a few general questions about wifi for zune 4gb:

1. What exactly is wifi?
2. How far is the range?
3. Some places, like McDonalds, say Wifi enabled. What does that mean?
4. Is there any way to increase the range?

Wifi is like wireless internet.
Actually, it's the same as wireless internet.
It depends on your router.
If you have a 'g' router it's shortish.
If you have a 'n' router, it's like from the router to your neighbor 2 doors down.
If they have wifi enabled, it means they have a router 'routing' wireless internet to you.
Yes, you can extend the range, just get a range extender.

No... The Zune does not support accessing the Internet.
