====== Wi-Fi ======
WiFi is a type of wireless networking technology that allows devices to connect to the internet or communicate with each other without the use of physical cables. It operates on a specific frequency band, typically in the 2.4 GHz (GHz) range, which provides a balance between range, speed, and penetration through obstacles. {{ :wifiesp32triangle.jpg?nolink&400|}}The ESP32 family of microcontrollers, developed by Espressif Systems, leverages WiFi technology to provide wireless connectivity for 
various applications.

In the ESP32 family, all variants except the ESP32-C6 support 2.4 GHz WiFi operation. This means that devices based on these chips will be able to connect to 2.4 GHz networks and operate within their specified range. The ESP32-C6, 
on the other hand, supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi frequencies, offering improved performance and reduced interference in environments with high wireless activity. This distinction is important for applications where high-speed 
data transfer or reliable connectivity are critical, such as industrial automation, smart home devices, or IoT sensors.

Fun fact: the name Wi-Fi has no meaning. 
The creator has clarified that it is NOT supposed to be called Wireless Fidelity (like how high end stereos were called HiFi systems)
