    A local area network (LAN) connects computers within a small physical area like a home, office, or school using networking technologies and cabling or wireless standards. LANs are defined by their limited geographic reach compared to wide area networks. The most common LAN technologies currently used are Ethernet over twisted pair cabling and Wi-Fi wireless networks. LANs allow computers in a localized setting to share resources and communicate directly with each other.

    A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects computers within a limited
    area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, or office building, using network media. [1] The

    defining characteristics of LANs, in contrast to wide area networks (WANs), include their smaller
    geographic area, and non-inclusion of leased telecommunication lines.[citation needed]
    ARCNET, Token Ring and other technology standards have been used in the past,
    but Ethernet over twisted pair cabling, and Wi-Fi are the two most common technologies currently
    used to build LANs.
