whats the difference between WiFi and WLAN????

So the M8 has wifi, but i read a member saying that it doesnt have Wlan, but tought they where the same, i have a wireless router at home to which my itouch and laptop connect to, is that wiff or wlan? can someone please clear this up for me

Both are different names for the 802.11 wireless networking protocol. Wi-Fi stands for Wireless Fidelity, WLAN stands for Wireless Local Area Network. So essentially, they're the same.

I don't think the meizu has wi-fi...
in the origi al version anyway...

I think they have it, but locked. Just need to unlock it.

The M8 has WiFi, it's just deactivated because of Chinese Laws.

Actually, WiFi is the connection, WLAN is the network. Small difference and it doesn't matter, in common language it both means a wireless connection.

The Eur edition will have wifi...

i'm sure that it has wifi
