Wi-Fi Cell-phone data networks--even those designated as "3G broadband" --are much slower than the broadband Internet connections many people have at home. Some e-readers have a built-in Wi-Fi radio that allows them faster e-book download times and Internet access via home networks and Wi-Fi hotspots. Wi-Fi- is the name for a medium-range (150 feet) wireless connectivity standard, officially known as IEEE 802.11. Wi-Fi enables secure networking of many electronic devices. 802.11b operates in the 2.4 GHz radio-frequency band, and provides data throughput of about 5 Mbps. 802.11a operates above 5 GHz, and has about five times the throughput, over a somewhat smaller radius. 802.11g combines the speed of 802.11a with the range of 802.11b, so is preferred for most users. 802.11n is the newest version of the standard, released as a draft in mid-2007 and ratified in 2010. It provides data throughput of 25-60Mbps. Wi-Fi	Yes
