Network devices refer to the various hardware components that are used to create and manage a computer network. There are two main types of network devices: wired and wireless.
Wired network devices use physical cables to connect devices to the network. Examples of wired network devices include Ethernet switches, routers, and network interface cards (NICs). Wired networks are typically faster and more secure than wireless networks, but they can be more difficult to install and maintain because of the need to run physical cables. Wireless network devices use radio waves to communicate with other devices on the network.
