Wide Area Network
The type of network that connects multiple LANs is called a WAN (wide area network). A typical example of a WAN is the network that links the different departments of an organization.
MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
They all stand for some kind of computer area networks:- LAN's = Local Area Network, WAN's = Wide Area Network, MAN's = Metropolitan Area Network, HAN's = Home Area Network.
Ethernet is the most popular network technology used on wired LANs. And IEEE 802 i.e Wi-fi is used for wireless LANs. -- By MyNarutoAnime ----
LAN (Local area network) connects devices (computers) that are within a relatively small geographical are like a room or a building. The most popular connection technology for LANs is Ethernet.
Yes - a LAN by definition is a network in a small geographic area, typically on a floor of a building, or a room in a building. When you go beyond the building you are going beyond the range of most LANs.
A wireless router bridge connects multiple LANs to speed up your computing. It enlarges the network so you have more computers to communicate with. If you are good with computers, there are how to guides on the web to guide you through the install process.
The Internet links LANs and WANs together.
lans are more faster than wans
If the router is taken out of the equation then you would be talking about a LAN (local area network). A router is responsible for connecting different LANs together, and if the distance is great enough then we are talking about a WAN (wide area network).
The computer network that connects computers across the globe is called the internet.
