Wifi is for everybody--macs, pcs, playstation portables, PDAs. etc.--that know how to configure their machine to the wifi router. Wifi for macs is pathetically simple when the wifi router isn't set up to require a password--the mac automatically detects the wifi router, makes a connection, and configure the system route internet traffic and requests through the wifi router. When the router rquires a password, the mac, like any other machine, needs to be set up with the password and the correct protocol to authenticate with the router.
