If they are in a local geographic area but two separate networks that would technically be a WAN. Of course some people call them MAN's for "Metropolitan area network."
WAN ( Wide Area Network )
Network cards are used to connect a personal computer to a LAN. A computer with a network card can be a network participant.Hubs are used to connect participants (PCs and other LAN devices).Bridges are used to connect parts of LAN with each other. Possibly because they operate on a different medium (copper wire, glass fibre).Routers are used to connect networks with each other (LANs with other LANs; LANs with the internet, etc.)Switches are a mix between Hub and Bridge.
yes, most LANs used by businesses today are client/server networks
Wide Area Network
LANs can be of wireless or wired type.In wireless LAN access points can be used tointerconnect the LANs and to Connect wired LANs bridges can be used. By naghma
Networks covering a limited or small geographic area are typically called LANs (local area networks). Of course, it depends heavily on your description of "small geographic area"
Wireless LANs are also called Wi-Fi networks
distributed
Different types of networks include local area networks (LANs), which connect devices within a limited area like homes or offices; wide area networks (WANs), which cover larger geographical areas, often connecting multiple LANs; and metropolitan area networks (MANs), which span a city or campus. Additionally, wireless networks (Wi-Fi) enable mobile devices to connect to the internet without physical cables, while virtual private networks (VPNs) provide secure remote access over the internet. Each network type serves specific purposes based on range, connectivity, and security needs.

A router is a device that forwards data packets along networks. A router is connected to at least two networks, commonly two LANs or WANs or a LAN and its ISP's network. Routers are located at gateways, the places where two or more networks connect, and are the critical device that keeps data flowing between networks and keeps the networks connected to the Internet.
Yes, it can.
