what is WIFI authentication?

Wi-Fi CERTIFIED is the internationally recognized product authentication standard that says the product has met industry-accepted standards on interoperability, security and a set of proprietary protocols for applications. The Wi-Fi CERTIFIED product has been rigorously tested in one of our independent authorized testing laboratories. When a product successfully passes the tests, the manufacturer or distributor is authorized to use the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED mark. Certification means that a product has been tested in various configurations with other devices, and the devices used for testing are extracted in different ways to verify interoperability between the product and other Wi-Fi CERTIFIED devices working on the same frequency band.

A wide range of consumer, business and carrier-specific products, including smartphones, appliances, computers and peripherals, network infrastructure and consumer electronics, are eligible for certification. At the retail end, the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED mark gives consumers confidence that the product provides a good user experience and complies with industry standards. Service providers and enterprise IT managers specify that the product must be CERTIFIED for Wi-Fi to reduce support costs and ensure that the product meets industry-approved requirements. Only companies that are members of the Wi-Fi Alliance may conduct product certification tests and use the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED mark and related trademarks.
