What is LAN/WAN networking?

LAN/WAN networking refers to Local Area Networks (LANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs). LANs connect devices within a limited area, such as a home, school, or office building, enabling resource sharing like files and printers. WANs connect LANs over larger geographical distances, such as cities, countries, or even globally, using technologies like the internet, leased lines, or satellite links, allowing communication and data transfer between geographically dispersed locations.
