Family wanting the ultimate speed for local network (3)

I believe the answer is:

lan

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'network' is the definition.
(Local Area Network)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Another definition for lan that I've seen is " Local area network (abbreviation)".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
