Which type of network configuration is optimal for establishing a short-range wireless connection between a laptop and a printer using Bluetooth technology?

  1. Home Area Network (HAN)
  2. Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
  3. Personal Area Network (PAN) ✓
  4. Local Area Network (LAN)
Explanation

PANs connect personal devices over short distances using Bluetooth or similar technology. Connecting your laptop to a wireless printer creates a PAN. These networks usually cover just one room or desk area.

LANs connect multiple computers in a building. MANs cover entire cities. HANs connect devices throughout a house but PANs are smaller and more personal.

Bluetooth is perfect for PANs because it works well for nearby devices. You don’t need cables or complex setup.
