How does Wi-Fi travel through the air?
Quick Answer
Wi‑Fi travels through the air as invisible radio waves. A router sends these waves, and devices like phones and tablets catch them with antennas, turning the signals into the information you see—like videos, messages, or web pages.

Story Synopsis
Wi‑Fi can feel mysterious because you can’t see it, yet it helps devices connect. This story explains Wi‑Fi as a kind of invisible message traveling through the air. Miluna introduces radio waves—waves of energy, like ripples you can’t see. A Wi‑Fi router sends out radio waves that carry information in patterns. Your device has an antenna that can catch those waves. It reads the pattern like a code and turns it into something useful: a song, a picture, or a page. The story also explains why distance and walls can weaken signals. Miluna keeps the tone calm and empowering, reminding children that many helpful things are invisible—like air and sound—and that understanding can make technology feel friendly.
