A local area network (LAN) is very small network comprised of computers and peripherals, as a home internet consumer, a LAN would normally only be large enough to provide internet throughout your home, however a LAN can also be as large as an office space.

The router we provide you manages the network layer connectivity for the LAN but you may have to configure your devices to be recognised by other devices on your LAN and access the internet.

An example of home networking is creating a media server hosted on your LAN which your TV, wireless devices and desktop computers will be all able to access and stream the content from the server.

Slingshot does not provide support for LAN setup but there’s plenty of information on the internet to help guide you.
