Abbreviation for Local Area Network. This is a network with a relatively 
narrow range such as inside a company. 

These are stations for relaying electromagnetic signals between 
computers in a wireless LAN. When a computer is connected to an 
access point, it can communicate through the network connected to the 
access point.

Abbreviation for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. This is 
the standard internet protocol.
This protocol is a set of rules and agreements governing data 
communications between computers.

Internet Protocol (IP) is a protocol for distributing data, and the address 
corresponding to the data distribution destination is called the IP 
address. The same IP address cannot be used within the same LAN.

Abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This function 
automatically assigns IP addresses to the connected equipment. If 
a device with the DHCP server function is present within a LAN, it 
automatically assigns IP addresses to the connected equipment.

This limits the range of the IP addresses assigned to computers in 
order to divide the network into a number of sections during TCP/IP 
connection. The value used to divide the network at this time is called 
the subnetmask.

This is a relay point for connecting different networks.
This refers to the hardware and software used when connecting a 
network with a network that uses a different protocol, etc. It adjusts the 
protocol and other differences between networks to allow connection 
with other networks.
