What is a Network Adapter?

To put it simply, a network adapter or a network interface controller is a hardware component that enables electronic and computing devices to connect to wired or wireless networks. For example, a Wi-Fi adapter for PCs communicates with wireless access points that broadcast Wi-Fi signals and establish a wireless connection between the PC and the access point. In addition to that, these Wi-Fi adapters also provide network security features like encryption and authentication. Moreover, they provide the ability to detect nearby Wi-Fi networks and connect to them. They also improve network performance by reducing network congestion and providing faster data transfer speeds. At times, these adapters are built into electronic devices. However, when that is not the case, they are used to add network connectivity to such devices.

Types and features of Network Adapters

USB Wi-Fi adapters are small hardware devices that enable network connectivity via a USB port. USB adapters are typically used with devices like laptops, tablets, or desktop computers that do not have built-in Ethernet ports or wireless network adapters. These USB adapters are often portable, easy to install, and may come with QoS settings to prioritise network traffic. Similarly, a dongle is also a small hardware adapter that connects to a device via a USB port and provides wireless connectivity. They can be used with laptops, desktops, gaming consoles, and other devices and come in handy particularly for connecting to wireless networks while on the go. Explore a wide range of Wi-Fi dongles at Croma and solve your Wi-Fi woes.

What to look for before buying Network Adapters

While looking to buy internet adapters, Croma dongles, and other hardware for your home or office Wi-Fi system, here are some points you should keep in mind. Ensure that the adapter is compatible with your computer or other existing devices. You should also check the interface type, OS, and other hardware requirements, if any. Besides, go for the ones that support high-speed connections, as well as the latest wireless standards. Also, you should consider the range of the adapter, as well as walls and other physical obstructions. Moreover, those with external antennas provide better range and signal strength. Additionally, if you travel often, you can buy one with an ultra-compact design.
