Networks through servers are used to share resources with clients
Clients use the resources of servers.
Security is used so as not to share too much

Wireless:

2.4 GHz
5.0 GHz

[fiber optic, microwave]
[domain name, IP address, MAC address]

2.4 GHz : wider range but slower speeds (larger spaces with more barriers)
5.0 GHz : shorter range but higher speeds (smaller spaces with fewer barriers)
Barriers: walls (concrete, plaster, etc.)

Feature	2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi	5 GHz Wi‑Fi
Frequency Range	2.4 to 2.4835 GHz	5.150 to 5.825 GHz
Channel Width	20, 40 MHz	20, 40, 80, 160 MHz
Data Rate	Up to 600 Mbps	Up to 3.5 Gbps
Channels	14 (3 non‑overlapping)	24+ (all non‑overlapping)
Interference	Higher	Lower, less crowded frequency
Compatibility	Universal	Newer

Short range wi-fi is often as fast as a wired connection (for Internet access).
