Usage Note
Inalámbrico is the standard Spanish term for 'wireless' or 'cordless,' covering Wi-Fi networks (red inalámbrica), cordless phones, and Bluetooth devices. The prefix in- negates alámbrico (wired, from alambre, wire). In tech contexts it competes with the borrowed noun wifi, but the adjective remains fully standard.
Examples
"Conecté los auriculares inalámbricos al ordenador."
Natural Translation
I connected the wireless headphones to the computer.
