A local area network (LAN, local area network, LAN) is a computer network that usually includes a relatively small area or a small group of premises (office, home, institute, company). There are also local networks, in which nodes are scattered geographically, over a distance of more than 12,000 km (orbital centers and space stations). Despite such distances, analog networks are still classified as local. Users often have questions that are related to connecting to a local network. To complete this operation, you need to follow certain steps.
