What’s the difference between LAN and WAN?
While your LAN connects devices within your home, the WAN (Wide Area Network) is what connects you to the outside world, the internet. Think of LAN as your neighbourhood and WAN as the highways leading to other cities.
If something's slow at home, knowing whether it’s your LAN or WAN can help: LAN problems might mean a slow device or router, while WAN issues could point to your internet provider.
Audra Safe helps monitor both to make it easier to troubleshoot and stay secure.
