In theory, you need all of the following, and perhaps some more:

  • Computers or other interconnected devices. The computers need to have a network card.
  • Intermediate devices: switches; for larger networks, you'll also need routers
  • Several communication protocols (that is, the devices must follow certain rules for communication)
  • Cables or some other media to transmit signals (for Wi-Fi and similar, the "media" is the air)

For practical purposes, to have a LAN in your home, all you need is to make sure that each computer has a network card, that you have a switch, and network cables (UTP 5, i.e., the standard network cables). For a Wi-Fi network, you need to make sure that each computer has Wi-Fi capabilities, and you need the Wi-Fi access point - the device that communicates with the computers.
