Network Interface Card (NIC)

A Network Interface Card (NIC) is a hardware component, either integrated into the motherboard or installed as an expansion card, that enables devices to connect to a network.

It provides a physical interface for Ethernet or wireless connections, supporting protocols like TCP/IP for data communication.

NICs handle tasks such as framing, error detection, and packet prioritization, ensuring efficient data transfer within a network. Modern NICs come with advanced features like gigabit speeds, Wake-on-LAN capability, and support for virtualization.

Examples include Intel Ethernet NICs or TP-Link Wireless Adapters, which connect desktops, laptops, or servers to local area networks (LANs) or the internet.
