What kind of network connects devices within the same building or buildings close together?

A Local Area Network (LAN) connects devices within the same building or in nearby buildings. It typically utilizes Ethernet cables, Wi-Fi, or both to facilitate communication among computers, printers, and other devices. LANs are characterized by high data transfer speeds and low latency, making them ideal for sharing resources and information within a localized area.


Does Lan connects devices on local premises?

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.
