Network Type

Network type refers to how devices connect and communicate within a network. It describes the setup and scope of the network, such as a Local Area Network (LAN) which connects devices in a small area like an office, or a Wide Area Network (WAN) that spans larger regions or countries, like the internet. Other types include Wireless networks (Wi-Fi), which use radio signals, and Personal Area Networks (PAN), like Bluetooth connections between gadgets. Understanding the network type helps determine its reach, speed, security, and suitable applications.
