8 Network Settings

8.1 Overview

This chapter discusses the MWR102’s Network Settings screens. Use these screens to

configure your LAN and WAN settings.

A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are

attached. A LAN is a computer network limited to the immediate area, usually the same building

or floor of a building.

A WAN (Wide Area Network) connection is an outside connection to another network or the

Internet. It connects your private networks such as a LAN (Local Area Network) and other

networks, so that a computer in one location can communicate with computers in other locations.
