Network Adapter - Definition

A Network Adapter is a device that connects your computer to a network. This device is sometimes called an adapter card or network interface card. It is essentially a hardware unit that connects a device to a communication line. For wide area networks (WAN), these adapters connect routers to the specific type of connection (T1, BRI) that is installed. For local area networks (LAN), these adapters connect workstations to the LAN (Ethernet or TokenRing) cabling.
