Explanation

A LAN is found within a building and connects its devices using cables.

A MAN spans a geographic region about the size of a metropolitan area.

A WAN covers vast distances, and the internet is the prime example of one.

A WLAN sits within a building too but links its devices without cables, over radio.

The scale rises from LAN to MAN to WAN as the area covered grows.

WLAN is simply a wireless LAN, using Wi-Fi in place of cabling.
