    A computer network connects multiple computers together to share resources. It requires physical components like routers, switches and cables to connect nodes. Routers direct data, switches forward data to appropriate nodes, and cables transmit signals. Networks allow sharing of resources like printers and files between users and provide advantages like shared storage and software but also security and maintenance disadvantages over standalone computers. Local area networks are used within a building, metropolitan area networks connect a city, and wide area networks span countries. Network protocols establish communication standards between nodes.
