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.
WANs
MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
Wide Area Network
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.
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).
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 ----
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) covers a larger geographical area than a LAN but smaller than a WAN. It typically connects multiple buildings within a city or town. MANs provide high-speed connectivity and support a larger number of users compared to LANs.
Local Area Network (LAN) is a network, which is limited to a single building, college campus etc. A Wide Area Network (WAN) spans over multiple geographic locations, which is composed of multiple LANs. A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) refers to a network, which is located in a city or metropolitan area. If an organization has multiple offices in a city, the term that refers the network is called MAN.
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.

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.
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.
