WLAN is Wireless Local Area Network. It is the abbreviation of Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), which refers to the application of wireless communication technology to interconnect computer devices to form a network system that can communicate with each other and realize resource **** enjoyment.

Wireless LAN is essentially characterized by no longer using communication cables to connect computers to the network, but by wireless connection, thus making the construction of the network and the movement of the terminal more flexible.

Expanded Information:

WLAN's communication range is not limited by the environment, and the network's transmission range is very wide, up to tens of kilometers. Anywhere the wireless signal reaches, users can connect to the network by moving their computers around at will. For a temporary work group or family to form a network, wireless LAN is the most suitable.

Compared with traditional networks, WLAN networks are more flexible, easy to install, low cost of deployment, better scalability, and are suitable for use in many places: environments that are difficult to wire, such as open-air areas where wiring is difficult and expensive; and environments that are frequently changing, such as retailers whose locations change frequently, and places such as field surveys.
