Сетка is used to describe wire mesh, fishing nets or garden mesh. Сеть can refer to nets, grids or virtual networks.

се́тка refers to specific, physical mesh structures like wire or netting, while сеть can refer to larger grids or digital networks.

Both се́тка and сеть are feminine nouns.

sétka

The phrase попасть в сети literally means 'to fall into the nets', but it is used figuratively to describe being seduced or trapped by someone.
