EDIT: more specifically it refers to their derailleur’s ability to wrap larger gears than Shimano. It’s a really stupid and non needed marketing term that confuses people when it comes to a wireless group. WiFli has nothing to do with eTap other than the derailleur design and it’s ability to wrap gears. Same as any non electronic derailleur they have in their lineup. Specifically though they only “offer WiFli” on mid cage and longer.

Thanks. I'm perfectly aware of what WiFli is, running WiFli Force setup myself. My question (not a joke) was based on all the complaints about "sleeping" I've seen said they had installed the WiFLi RD, leading me to wonder if maybe there was a firmware difference since WiFLi version was released about a year after the original short cage version.
