Why Do I Need a Network? Likely, the only network you'll come across knowingly daily is a home network, aka a Local Area Network (LAN). Not everyone needs a home network. If you only have one computer and no other devices you want to take online or share resources with, there's no need for a network.
However, most people now have their own LAN setup at home with multiple devices connected to it. It's important to know if wired or wireless is best for your home, or a combination of both, as well as understand how to set up a home network.
