The main difference between a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) and a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is that a VLAN allows for different networks and different network settings.
In other words:
- **WLAN** typically refers to a network that allows devices to connect wirelessly but usually operates as a single broadcast domain without segmentation.
- **VLAN**, on the other hand, allows network administrators to segment a physical network into multiple logical networks, each with its own set of policies, configurations, and settings. This enables better control over traffic, security, and resource allocation within the same physical infrastructure.
In summary, while anyone connected to a WLAN typically shares the same network settings, a VLAN allows for the creation of separate networks within the same physical infrastructure.
