So I’ve been trying to comprehend how wifi works, and just cannot visualise it.
I know that there is this field were surrounded by, and antennas create waves in it that can be picked up by other antennas.
I’ve been trying to visualise it similar to being underwater and moving water around with your hands, but not sure if this is accurate.
Anyway, I don’t know what this “field” is made of. Can someone ELI5?

Wi-Fi is very similar to radio waves, and other wireless transmission communication protocols that are in use with the FCC and the IEEE, that said, it’s just a wireless signal transmission of data, not really a difficult thing to do in this day and age given how radios cell phones and Bluetooth works. if you can understand how radios and Bluetooth work, then Wi-Fi operates on very much of the same principle! It’s basically the same as a cellular signal or cellular data as to how that works, if that helps
For Wi-Fi to function you have a radio That transmits a wireless signal, based on a timing and pulse rate, and that signal that is transmitted, is picked up by a special receiver, which allows for data to pass over airwaves once the signal is received, it’s basically processing the same way that ethernet pulses over a wire work, a connection is established with something similar to TCP then data is transmitted
