What is the difference between a LAN and WAN?

What hardware is needed to create these networks?

Not all networks are equal, what is the speed of your network?  Use this speedtest to find out:

Speed test #1:  http://speedtest.gci.net

Speed test #2:  http://www.connectak.org

  Assignment #5: LAN vs. WAN

Post what your speed test (upload AND download) results showed.  Describe how a LAN might affect the outcome.  Be sure and note why a WAN would also affect this.
