Networks

1. Router

   • purpose
     • the purpose of a router is that it can connect to wan( wide area network) such as the internet

2. Server

   • Purpose
     • The purpose of a server is that you can connect to anything that is around the server and can be in range to connect

3. A lan is something that you can connect but you have to have a wired connection

   • disadvantage
     • A disadvantage to having a lan is that you might not be able to put it through your walls so there could be a massive trip hazard up the stairs or along the floor
   • a advantage of having a lan though is that you can have much faster download speeds then a wan cause the internet would not have to travel all the way up the floors if you have a wan and it could just be there immeditaly

4. WPAN

   • A WPAN is a type of network which stands for wire personal area network.
     • a disadvantage of a wpan is that you do not have much download sppeds if you are far away from the bluetoothed device or the hotspot and you cant really do much if you dont have 3g or 4g or any wireless thing that can connect you to the internet on your phone
     • An Advantage of having a wpan network on your phone or anything is that you can use it on the road going for a run or for a jog and you dont have to worry because you will always have the internet with you instead of having to stay in side your house and listen to music
     • And if you dont have a phone theres not really much you can do with a wpan cause unless you have a controller for a console or a anything tat connects through bluetooth then thats really the only thing a wpan can be used for

5. WAN

   • Disadvantge of having a wan is that you cant get really good download speeds and you cant really download things as quickly as you can with lan
