    A Local Area Network (LAN) is a network that connects computers and other devices within a limited geographic area like a home, school, or office building. It allows nodes on the network to share files, printers, and other resources as well as providing advantages like low installation and maintenance costs. However, LANs also have disadvantages such as limited physical size and potential security issues if not properly secured with measures like firewalls and encryption. Setting up a typical modern LAN requires hardware like routers, switches, and wireless access points as well as cabling or wireless technology to connect nodes and transfer data.
