🌐 Types of Computer Networks: LAN, MAN & WAN

Networks are categorized by their range. Here are the 3 main types:
🔹 1. LAN (Local Area Network)
Connects devices in a small area like a home or office.
Speed: Very fast.
Example: Your home Wi-Fi.
🔹 2. MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
Larger than LAN, covers an entire city.
Example: A bank connecting its city branches.
🔹 3. WAN (Wide Area Network)
Spans across countries and continents.
Example: The Internet itself!

🚀 A solid understanding of networks is the core of cybersecurity.
