A wireless local area network is a wireless computer network that links two or more devices using wireless communication within a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, or office building.

The wireless LAN enables people in the workstation or in homes to have a connection to various devices through the use of the internet. It is imperative to note that there are no cables or wires needed to connect the computers or the devices. Thus, people can have their local area network, having its devices distributed as far as possible as no wires are required in the connection.
