There is no point setting up a WAN server when a LAN server is sufficient. The functionality of both once players are in is exactly the same, but with WAN you're more likely to get setup difficulties and you're going to broadcast publicly when your kids are playing. Just clicking the GUI buttons in the menu to create a LAN server should be sufficient.
"Bots" and "AIs" are standard terms to refer to non-human karts controlled by the computer. AI means "Artificial Intelligence".
And I was saying that AI karts in networked play (both LAN and WAN) are playing very poorly. This makes them uninteresting to play with.
Local play means standard single player or splitscreen mode.

"but even then they'd play a lot weaker than the standard AIs from local play" - Woah! ...
- 'they'd play' - who would play, the 'bots'?
- 'a lot weaker', what does 'playing weaker' mean?
- 'standard AIs' - ???? AIs? Sorry, I have no clue.
- 'local play' - I assume this refers to 'LAN'.
