The Wi-Fi Alliance defines Wi-Fi as any "wireless local area network (WLAN) products that are based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' (IEEE) 802.11 standards". The Wi-Fi Alliance は Wi-Fi を「the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' (IEEE) 802.11 standards に準拠する、あらゆる "wireless local area network (WLAN) products」と定義している。
However, since most modern WLANs are based on these standards, the term "Wi-Fi" is used in general English as a synonym for "WLAN". ただ、現在のほとんどの WLAN もこの規格に準拠しているため、 "Wi-Fi" という用語は、一般に WLAN の同義語として使われる。
