How WiFi Really Works – Simple Explanation

🛜 The router sends invisible radio waves (blue circles) to connect your devices wirelessly.

📦 Data (photos, videos, messages) is broken into small packets and sent through the air to the router, then to the other device.

✅ The receiving device sends back a small "ACK" packet saying "I got it!" so nothing is lost.

📶 Signal bars show connection strength – more bars = faster and better connection!
