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.
