When to choose LAN, WAN, WLAN, SD-WAN, or FIREWALL?
LAN
LAN: A local network that connects devices within a single building or defined site. The foundation of every reliable IT environment.
WAN
Connects multiple locations via a single secure network structure. Essential for organizations with branches in different places.
WLAN
Wireless networks for flexible and mobile work environments. Ideal for schools, offices, and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) environments.
SD-WAN
Smart, cloud-oriented network solution that optimizes bandwidth and reduces costs. Perfect for modern hybrid IT environments.
FIREWALL
A firewall acts as a smart gatekeeper for your network. Based on preset rules, it determines which traffic is allowed through and which traffic is blocked.
Risks of an outdated network
A poorly maintained network often only gets noticed when things go wrong: slow connections, outages, data leaks, or insecure access. At The Networkers, we therefore always start with a thorough baseline assessment to identify risks and areas for improvement.

Frequently asked questions about LAN networks
Are modern networks truly self-learning?
Yes, with AI functionalities, networks can recognize anomalies and optimize themselves.
What is the advantage of software-defined networks?
Flexibility, scalability, and simpler management. Adjustments can be implemented faster and more securely.
Can AI help with security?
Certainly. AI detects anomalies that indicate potential attacks or vulnerabilities, often before users notice anything.
How do I measure the quality of my current network?
We perform network measurements using tools such as Wireshark and NetFlow analysis. This provides insight into bottlenecks, peak loads, and security vulnerabilities.
Can The Networkers manage my network?
That depends on the complexity. We always provide a non-binding estimate.
Does everything need to be reinstalled?
Not always. We often modernize existing infrastructures.
Can I switch from my current supplier?
Yes, we guide the entire transition process without downtime.
Which Ethernet cable should I use for my LAN?
The choice depends on your speed and distance requirements and what you intend to connect, such as wireless equipment and, for example, IoT (LED lamps).
- Cat5e: Suitable for up to 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet) over max. 100 meters.
- Cat6: Supports 1 Gbps and can handle 10 Gbps up to 55 meters — better crosstalk shielding.
- Cat6a: Supports 10 Gbps over the full 100 meters — ideal for future-proof networks.
For most offices, Cat6 is sufficient. Always choose cables with a solid core for fixed cabling and stranded for flexible patch cables.
What is Multi-Gig Ethernet and why is it important for LANs in 2025?
Multi-Gig Ethernet (also known as NBASE-T) is a standard that supports speeds of 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps, or even 10 Gbps over existing Cat5e or Cat6 cables — without immediately switching to expensive Cat6a or fiber infrastructure.
- Bandwidth demand is rising: Due to 8K streaming, AR/VR applications, on-site AI devices, and fast NAS systems (such as home media or backup servers), Gigabit (1 Gbps) is often too slow.
- Cost-efficient upgrading: You don’t have to replace all your cabling immediately — Multi-Gig often works on your current cables.
- Hybrid workplaces & smart buildings: Offices and smart homes require reliable, high speeds for IoT, security cameras, and real-time data.
- PoE++ applications: Multi-Gig ports often also deliver more power (up to 90W via PoE++), ideal for advanced access points, displays, or even small workstations.
