What's the Difference Between Wi-Fi and Internet

Wi-Fi and Internet are two very common terms in our modern lives. Despite this, the terms are often used interchangeably. This post should help clear up the differences between the two.

First, let’s explain the Internet. The internet is what connects devices all around the world to each other. To be more specific, the internet is what connects your local network to other networks, creating what is essentially a “web” of interlinked networks. This is where the term web comes from. There are a few different types of internet connections. Wired internet is typically used in stationary computers by directly connecting a cable to your device. Satellite internet is similar, but simply uses a satellite rather than a cable. Lastly, there is cellular internet, which is typically used on mobile devices.

Meanwhile, Wi-Fi is a simple alternative to connecting to the internet through cables. Wi-Fi uses an access point, which is a device that acts as a connection point for Wi-Fi capable devices. This allows the device to access a local network, which in tern can then connect to the larger internet network.’
