Typically a LAN is connected to other networks (WANs, etc) via a router, used as a default gateway device.
Simple Terms, You plug the Router into the modem to get internet access via WiFi or LAN. Certain Modems dont require a router to let you use the internet.
From the user's point of view, accessing a LAN or WAN is the same. If packets need to be forwarded from a LAN via a WAN connection that is taken care of automatically by the router.
LAN stands for "Local Area Network" while it can cover a large area they usually don't. For example an office building generally uses a LAN. And if in a skyscraper that LAN can be quite large. On the same token, if you have a router at your house, and all the computers on that router are connected via ethernet cables. That is also a LAN, but is much smaller.
A cascaded router because is a router connected to another router. As far as I know, there's two ways you can connect two routers together. One is from a LAN port to the WAN port of the other router and the other is LAN port to LAN port. LAN to WAN is useful for things such as network segmenting, say that you want the LAN of the first router not to be able to see the LAN of the second router. That can work. Whereas with the second way, the second router pretty much becomes a switch and you can have access to devices on both networks without the need for port forwarding. Consider it acting as a swithc with a IP address pretty much. However in this method you have to make sure the LAN IP of the second router is within the same subnet as the first in order for this to work. So let me give you a example of how it can be setup: LAN to WAN: Router A WAN IP: Issued from ISP (Usually through DHCP) LAN IP: 192.168.1.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Router B WAN IP: Issued from the DHCP server of the first router or can be statically set to be a address within the first routers LAN LAN IP: 192.168.2.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Note: With this method, computers on Router B can connect to devices on Router (including the router itself) but not vice versa. Also...you cannot access computers via NetBIOS names (computer names) in this setup. You have to access them by their client LAN IP LAN to LAN Router A WAN IP : Issued from ISP (Usually through DHCP) LAN IP: 192.168.1.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Router B WAN IP: Not used since nothing is connected to the WAN port LAN IP: 192.168.1.254 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Hope this helps you out. :)
Try this setup: Cable/Dsl Modem---->Wireless router---->wireless devices, desktop.
Depending on the LAN topology, some LAN segments may be limited to as few as 30 clients total, whereas other topologies can handle 1024 or more on a single LAN. More than that and you would need to go to multiple LANs connected via a router.
a router is a device used to connect two or more PC into a network using a LAN/Ethernet type cable. you can also have the wireless router to rid yourself of the cables when working on your laptop. In a home network your Internet connection will plug into the router and then several computers can connect to the Internet via the router.
Yes, you can.
You do not have to connect your router to your PC via ethernet cable, you can instead connect via wi-fi and your router must be connected to your hub.
Um, the via Wi-Fi means that you are capable of connecting to a Wireless Router for connecting to the internet. Like some games you can play other people online, and to do that you have to connect to a Wi-Fi router (or Wireless router- however you would like to say it).
No LAN, only via internet with an EA account.
