Introduction
Local Region Network (LAN) is a system across a limited topographical zone, such as a house, office, or a cluster of buildings. Phone lines and cable lines are examples of public infrastructure that may be used to communicate. Networks may be alienated into (LANs) and (WANs), covering a more significant geographic region. Many businesses and organizations employ WANs, such as the Internet, because they allow them to link tens of billions of devices to each other (Mumford, 2021).
Additionally, LANs have more capacity than Wide Area Networks and can send and receive data at a far quicker rate regarding data security; how LANs transport data and the distance it would have to travel makes them safer than WANs. However, because of the lower hardware cost necessary for LANs, they are less costly to set up and maintain than Wide Area Networks (WANs). However, you may save money by using Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) while setting up your WA...
