The document discusses various hardware devices used in network communications. A Network Interface Card (NIC) allows a computer to communicate over a network and access the network. A Wireless Network Interface Card (WNIC) provides wireless data transmission over a radio network. An internal modem is built into a stand-alone computer to transmit data over phone or cable lines, while an external modem is separate from the computer and mobile. A switch establishes connections between devices that want to communicate, and a hub contains multiple ports to connect LAN segments. A router connects multiple computers or routers and transfers data packets between networks, and a wireless access point connects wireless devices to form a wireless network and relay data to a wired network.

Network Interface Card (NIC)
A Network Interface Card is a piece
of computer hardware designed to
allow computer to communicate
over a computer network.
Enables the computer to access the
network
Wireless Network Interface
Card (WNIC)
A Wireless Network Interface
Card or WNIC is a network card
which connects to a radio-based
computer network.
A network card that provides
wireless data transmission
INTERNAL MODEM
A modem is a device that enables
a computer to transmit data over
telephone or cable lines.
An internal modem only works
in stand-alone computers. It is
built into the computer.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/module-functionhardware-121220034234-phpapp01/85/Module-Function-Hardware-1-320.jpg)

EXTERNAL MODEM
A modem is a device that enables
a computer to transmit data over
telephone or cable lines.
An external modem is separated
from the computer and is also
mobile.
SWITCH
A switch understands when two
devices want to talk to each
other, and gives them a switched
connection.
A common connection point for
devices in a network.
HUB
Hubs are commonly used to
connect segments of a LAN.
A hub contains multiple ports.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/module-functionhardware-121220034234-phpapp01/85/Module-Function-Hardware-2-320.jpg)

ROUTER
A router is a communications
device that connects multiple
computers or other routers
together and transmits data to the
correct destination.
A router acts as a junction
between two or more networks to
transfer data packets among
them.
WIRELESS ACCESS POINT
A wireless access point is a
device that connects wireless
communication devices together
to form a wireless network.
Connects to a wired network and
can relay data between wireless
devices and wired devices.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/module-functionhardware-121220034234-phpapp01/85/Module-Function-Hardware-3-320.jpg)
