Q:Tell me the difference between Wireless LANs and Wireless Internet.
A: This one's easy to understand. If you are at home, or in an office, or other place with a local area network, and wireless devices are hooked up to it that allows you to come in and authenticate on the network without taking up cable and desk space, that's WLAN. On the other hand, if you're down at your local cafe, surfing in to your home or work, or MySpace.com that's wireless internet. But technically, you are accessing the internet via your hotspots WLAN.
