• SynonymネットNeutralLoanword for a net or the Internet (「ネットで調べる」); today it usually means the Internet, while 「網」 is the physical net, e.g. a fishing net.
• Related罠わなNeutralA snare or trap for catching animals, or a trick (「罠にかかる」); it overlaps with 「網」 only in the purpose of catching, so the two are not interchangeable.
• RelatedトラップNeutralLoanword for a trap or animal-catching device (「トラップを仕掛ける」); it shares only the catching purpose with 「網」, not the object itself.

Use 「網」 for a woven net used for catching, literal or figurative (「網で魚を捕る」「網戸」「捜査網」). For the Internet say 「ネット」; for a trap or snare use 「罠」 or 「トラップ」.
