What is LAN (Local Area Network)?

LAN (Local Area Network) is a computer network that connects computers and devices in a limited geographical area, such as home, school, computer laboratory, or office building. As opposed to wide area networks (WANs), LANs usually include higher data-transfer rates, smaller geographic areas, and the lack of a need for leased telecommunications lines.
