Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)

The abbreviation WLAN stands for Wireless Local Area Network and describes a wireless, local connection to the Internet. The so-called wireless network often forms the basis of a home network in the private and business sectors and, to put it simply, provides the devices connected to it with Internet access. In order to be able to set up a WLAN, a WLAN router is required, which converts the local Internet into a wireless network. The WLAN is limited to a small local area, but can be expanded as required with access points or WLAN repeaters.
