LAN networks are typically faster and more secure than WAN, but these latter allow for greater interconnectivity. LANs are typically small networks with high-speed connections, so they're often used by gamers to keep their games up-to-date and safe from hackers via LAN parties. However, there's a limit on the number of devices that can be connected at once in this type of network due to its size making it unsuitable for larger groups or online multiplayer options like World Wide Online Gaming (WWOG). On the other hand, WANs are more widespread connecting users around the world who play against each other through computer servers but tend to have lower speeds. This doesn't allow everyone access concurrently without lag issues during gameplay especially if trying to connect across geographical distances as well as being less secure because of the number of users.
