A WLAN uses radio waves to transmit data and connect devices to the Internet, your network and your applications.

A wired network connects devices and transmits data by kinds of cables. In the past, wired networks were sometimes considered to be faster than wireless networks. The difference between the two types of network, however, is now reduced.

The WLAN noted for Wireless Local Area Network is a network covering the equivalent of a local area network or a range of about a hundred meters. It connects between them-the terminals present in the coverage area.
