4. A network interface controller is a computer hardware component that connects a computer to a computer network. Early network interface controllers were commonly implemented on expansion cards that plugged into a computer bus.

5. Networking cables are networking hardware used to connect one network device to other network devices or to connect two or more computers to share printers, scanners etc.

   • ethernet cable

6. wierless network interface card

   • A wireless network interface controller (WNIC) is a network interface controller which connects to a wireless radio-based computer network, rather than a wired network, such as Token Ring or Ethernet. A WNIC, just like other NICs, works on the Layer 1 and Layer 2 of the OSI Model.

7. computer networking, a wireless access point, or more generally just access point, is a networking hardware device that allows a Wi-Fi device to connect to a wired network.

   • Wireless access point

8. A Wi-Fi range extender, sometimes called a range expander, is a type of wireless repeater used to expand the reach of a wireless LAN. The device is situated in between a base router or access point and a client that is not close enough to receive acceptable service or one that is on the other side of a barrier.
