    WLANs are networks that allow devices to connect and communicate over Wi-Fi within a localized area like a home or office. Wireless LANs are commonly based on the IEEE 802.11 standards, which have evolved significantly to offer higher speeds, better security, and improved connectivity.

  3. Wireless LAN - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_LAN

    A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a wireless computer network that links two or more devices using wireless communication to form a local area network (LAN) within a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, campus, or office building. This gives users the ability to move around within the area and remain connected to the network.

    www.cisco.com/site/us/en/learn/topics/security/what-is-a-wireless-lan.html

    A wireless local-area network (WLAN) is a group of colocated computers that form a network based on radio transmissions rather than wired connections.

  5. What is the difference between WLAN and Wi-Fi? - TechTarget

    www.techtarget.com/searchnetworking/answer/Wireless-vs-Wi-Fi-What-is-the...

    Wireless LAN uses radio frequencies to connect network nodes, and Wi-Fi is a wireless standard and type of WLAN. Compare WLAN vs. Wi-Fi and how they work.

  6. A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a method of wirelessly distributing network connectivity to multiple devices within a localized area. WLANs use high-frequency radio waves and often include an access point (AP) to the Internet, without the need for physical wired connections.

    Wireless LAN (Local Area Network), also known as WLAN, is a type of computer networking technology that allows devices to connect to a network without the need for physical cables. Instead of using traditional Ethernet cables, wireless LAN uses radio waves to transmit and receive data between devices, enabling seamless connectivity and mobility.

  10. A WLAN, or wireless LAN, is a network that allows devices to connect and communicate wirelessly. Unlike a traditional wired LAN, in which devices communicate over Ethernet cables, devices on a WLAN communicate via Wi-Fi. While a WLAN may look different than a traditional LAN, it functions the same way.

  11. What Is a Wireless Network? - Wired vs Wireless - Cisco

    www.cisco.com/.../small-business/resource-center/networking/wireless-network.html

    A wireless network allows devices to stay connected to the network but roam untethered to any wires. Access points amplify Wi-Fi signals, so a device can be far from a router but still be connected to the network.
