"WI FI" is a neologism (new word) that represents a play on the old slang "Hi Fi", which originally meant "high fidelity" (music) and was generally applied to phonographs and the vinyl records played on them. "WI FI" would therefore be "wireless high fidelity", consisting of broadband wireless routers used privately or publicly to connect computers at high speed.

Wi-Fi is the common name for a popular wireless technology used in computer home networks, mobile phones, Video Games and more. The term "Wi-Fi" suggests "Wireless Fidelity" however "Wi-Fi" was coined by a brand consulting firm called Interbrand Corporation, their official position is that it is merely a brand name that stands for nothing in particular.
