    Network Networking Devices: Local Area Network (LAN) Wide Area Network (WAN)

    Uploaded by

    Mary Joy
    A network connects two or more computers to share resources like printers and files. There are three main types of networks: local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), and wireless networks. A LAN connects computers within a small area like a building using cables while a WAN connects larger geographic areas using cables or satellites. Common networking devices that connect computers on a network include hubs, switches, bridges, routers, gateways, modems, network interfaces, and firewalls.
