LAN networks in a local area

A LAN network provides networking capabilities in a group of computers that are very
close to each other
Multiple local networks can be alone, disconnected from any other network or can connect
to other LAN or a WAN (such as the Internet).
they share a common communication line or a wireless link with a server. ... Wi-Fi uses
radio waves to connect computers to the LAN. A traditional Wi-Fi LAN operates one or
more wireless access points to which the devices are connected within the signal range.
These access points, in turn, manage the network traffic that flows to and from the local
devices and can also connect the local network with external networks. In a home LAN,
wireless broadband routers perform the functions of an access point.
It is possible to use this type of network in multiple institutions to carry out their tasks. It
began by introducing this technology in military networks, to reach schools and hospitals.
