Local area network

"LAN" redirects here. For other uses, see Lan.
A conceptual diagram of a LAN at a residential house; the router in this case is assumed to also function as a wireless access point. Also shown in this example (shaded in yellow) is the network's connection to the Internet via fixed-line means.

A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects computers within a single physical location. It is the most common type of computer network, used in homes and buildings including offices or schools,[1][2][3] for sharing data and devices between each other, including Internet access. Ethernet and Wi-Fi are the two most common technologies used for local area networks; historical network technologies include ARCNET, Token Ring and AppleTalk.
