Yes, it can.
Intranet
You can join LANs and WANs with a Hub, Router, Switch, Gateway, Bridge, Network Interface Card (NIC) and a WAP (Wireless Access Point)..

Types of networks - including LANs, WANs and WLANs
The de facto standard on the Internet is the TCP/IP protocol suite. It has also become the protocol of choice for Local Area Networks (LANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs) due to its robustness, scalability, and interoperability. TCP/IP allows for seamless communication between different devices and networks, making it widely adopted in various network environments.
