# wifi client

an app that organizes and remembers all WiFi networks you have joined, saves passwords automatically, shares passwords with friends, searches for free WiFi and auto-joins. for captive portals (like Phil's Coffee), it uses a fake email to auto-authenticate. also shows security info, speeds, historical performance, and settings for auto-join preferences.

the deeper learning interest in WiFi included: understanding the WiFi protocol, controlling which networks to connect to, opening your own captive portal, seeing server responses, understanding how guest WiFi gives just enough data to load the portal. this connects to radio signals and ham radio licensing interests in the [[learning-suite|learning suite]].
