I can't tell if WAN is Wireless Area Network or Wide Area Network.
WAN = Wide Area Network
WLAN = Wireless Area Network
*Wireless Local Area Network
*WLAN = Wireless local area network
Wide area network. It’s basically the “internet” side of the router.
I know what a Wide Area Network is. I'm just saying the acronym is ambiguous since the advent of WiFi
Not really. WAN has always been WAN. Wireless has always been WLAN.
lan is local area network
wan is wide area network
wlan is wireless local
wwan is wireless wan
