In my opinion, the biggest advantage of the WAN over the LAN is the longer distance that it can cover which is hundreds and thousands of miles in distance,. Whereas, when your trying to connect over long distances, a LAN can cost a lot of money, and a LAN needs a special equipment to generate a signal for the connection. A WAN is built with network equipment that comes from a service provider like Xfinity, or Comcast and what not. So, the biggest advantage would be the longer distance that you get and the cost of using a WAN compared to using a LAN.
