yes isConnectedToWifi wants WiFi only isConnected includes mobile networks 3G etc

from merlin.

@blundell so if there's wifi but no INTERNET, what will isConnected return?

false

from merlin.

ah no wait I was originally wrong.

https://github.com/novoda/merlin/blob/master/core/src/main/java/com/novoda/merlin/MerlinsBeard.java

isConnected is the super set and so includes a wifi check

isConnectedToWifi is the sub set and only checks the wifi

isConnectedToMobileNetwork is a subset and is what I explained originally

from merlin.

However this is MerlinsBeard which don't actually check for internet connectivity. Therefore they return true or false based on a connection - which is no guarantee that you actually have throughput to the internet (this is what Merlin provides)
