device, you need access to a wireless access point (or
other Wi-Fi Direct devices). The coverage of the Wi-Fi
signal can be up to 300 feet (100 meters). However,
it varies greatly due to the type of infrastructure, and
other objects through which the signal passes.

TIP: Wi-Fi networks, or Access Points (WAPs) can be Open
