Therefore computer network is,  when two or more computers are connected to each other makes a computer network.

There are two types of computer networking medium (the way through they are connected) 

1.Wired Network

In wired network every devices in network is connected through a wire is a wired network device.It can be a computer ,printer or a server etc.They can be connected directly computer to computer or computer to a switch or router.a wired network makes a LAN(Local Area Network). 

It is an example of a small business network where server is connected to internet cloud and all computers and printed is connected to router through wires.In small business Ethernet cables are being used for connect computers for data transferring purpose.I will write an article about Ethernet cables(twisted pair) and optical fiber briefly.

2.Wireless Network

In wireless network devices are connected to the network via radio frequency waves or signals to communicate with connected devices or internet.

In this example all devices are connected to a WiFi router.When devices are connected through a WiFi router or access point makes a WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network).
