Punt d'accés Wi-Fi

Definition from own experience or research:
Punts d'accés a internet sense fils.

Example sentence(s):

Mapa de punts d'accés Wi-Fi a Sabadell - Accés Wi-Fi a Sabadell
El punt d'accés Wi-Fi de clau Thrustmaster USB dóna suport fins a 5 PSPs locals en una època per al joc multiintèrpret, al costat de suports també qualsevol WiFi permetia mecanismes tals PDAs i portàtils per accedir a la Internet. - La meva vida digital
Els espais a les estacions d'Inca i Manacor, a més dels de l'Estació Intermodal de Palma, s'afegeixen als 18 punts d'accés Wi-Fi que el Consell de Mallorca ja ofereix en tots els seus edificis públics repartits per tot l'illa als punts següents - Departament d'Hisenda i Innovació

Explanation:
Tot i que jo m'estim més de fer servir "Wi-Fi" tal i com surt al Cercaterm, que se suposa que és la forma normalitzada i correcta d'escriure-ho, si que és veritat que es fa servir massivament wifi, així com si fós una paraula. Però com que no l'he trobada a cap diccionari, preferesc evitar-la.
El que ja no veig tan clar és posar "WiFi", perquè posar una majúscula enmig d'una paraula sense que hi hagi un guió me sembla incorrecte. Segurament seria molt millor adreçar aquest problema a alguna associació lingüística perquè ens ho aclareixin i perquè ho incloeixi a la Neoloteca, i així mai més tornarem a tenir dubtes :)
