🔷 Topic 1: WLAN (Wireless Local Area


Network)

📘 What is WLAN?
Definition:​
WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) is a network that uses radio signals instead of
cables to connect devices within a small area like a home, office, or campus.

🔹 Basic Idea
●​ Wired network → uses cables

●​ In one network → it behaves as Slave
●​ In another network → it behaves as Master

🧠 Real Example:
●​ Your phone:
○​ Connected to earbuds → acts as Master
○​ Connected to laptop → can act as Slave

👉 So phone connects two networks → Scatternet
