What is LAN or Local Area Network? In simple terms, a LAN is basically a bunch of computers networked together in close proximity to each other. A LAN has many uses, only some of which are gaming related. As we detailed above, playing games over a LAN has some great benefits, most prominently the lack of latency, or ping. Over a LAN, you can also share files and printer access, which comes in handy if you have multiple computers at home or want to snag something from a friend's computer What is Ethernet? Ethernet is the IEEE 802.3 series standard, based on the CSMA/CD access method that provides two or more stations to share a common cabling system.
