 Abstract Computer networks are foundational to the functioning of modern society, facilitating the seamless exchange of data, communication, and resource sharing across various platforms and devices. This paper provides a comprehensive exploration of computer networks, covering their uses, types, and underlying architectures. By examining the different network types—Personal Area Network (PAN), Local Area Network (LAN), Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), and Wide Area Network (WAN)—the paper highlights their distinct characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages. Additionally, the discussion extends to network architectures, specifically the Client-Server and Peer-to-Peer models, analyzing their roles in network efficiency and management. Through this exploration, the paper aims to provide a thorough understanding of how computer networks operate and their significance in the digital age. Introduction Computer networks are systems of interconnected devices that enable the exchange of d
