Definition
联网 (lián wǎng) is a separable verb meaning 'to connect to a network' (internet, LAN, etc.), used especially for computers and devices. Unlike 连接 (lián jiē), which is a general 'connect' for any objects, 联网 is specific to network access. It can split, e.g., 联不上网 'can't connect to the network'.
