a router or layer-3 switch.
Switch for small LAN, Router for two or more
I'm pretty sure LAN's are a group of computers connected to each other through routers/modems or ethernet cables. The internet it similar to LAN's but instead of connecting to other computers close by, it connects to computers all around the world.
To make a simple switch, you can use a conductive material, like metal, that completes a circuit when connected. Begin by connecting two wires to a power source and a light or device you want to control. Attach a lever or button mechanism that, when pressed or flipped, bridges the gap between the wires, allowing electricity to flow and turning on the device. When the lever is released or the button is pressed again, the circuit opens, turning off the device.
LAN is wired WLAN is wireless
To fix a Human Interface Device (HID), start by checking the physical connections, ensuring the device is properly plugged in or charged. Next, update or reinstall the device drivers through the device manager on your computer. If the issue persists, try connecting the device to a different USB port or another computer to rule out hardware problems. If all else fails, consult the manufacturer’s support or documentation for more specific troubleshooting steps.

A router.
For a small LAN network, a switch is best. To connect two or more LAN networks, a router is required. (2) From Jean Andrews CompTIA A+ sixth edition (page #852): You can use a crossover cable to connect to computers without a switch or hub making it the simplest network of all. For two or more you will need a switch, hub, or router.
Connecting different networks requires a router
Any device on a LAN is called a node.

It's called a switch. Many wireless routers have a 4-port switch. Also you can purchase a switch separately.

Yes, but the data traffic will traverse the Internet to reach that public IP address. If the server has another network interface in the same subnet as the connecting device, you can constrain the traffic to the LAN. If the connecting device is instructed to use the public IP address to reach the server, the traffic will first travel to the LAN gateway, which determines the best route for the traffic to reach public addresses. Typically, this would be via an ISP that the gateway is somehow connected to. Please specify your goal in your question to get an optimal strategy as an answer.

When saving a file to your schools network, you are using a LAN, because it is a local are network. A WAN uses wide area networks, such as connecting two offices in two different locations.
