WANs
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)
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.
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.
A metropolitan area network (MAN) covers a large campus or city. It connects multiple local area networks (LANs) within a specific geographical area, allowing for high-speed data transfer and communication between different locations. MANs are often used by businesses, government agencies, and educational institutions to facilitate connectivity across various sites within a city or metropolitan region.
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.
The Internet links LANs and WANs together.
lans are more faster than wans
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.
