Computer network devices also known as communication devices and they constitute a data communication network. These devices are routers, switches, hubs, LAN cards, gateway, modems, hardware firewall, CSU/DSU, ISDN terminals and transceivers. In an Ethernet or WAN network, the data communication cannot be performed without these devices. Being an IT professional or a network administrator, you must have the good understanding of these devices.
Computing Devices that help Computers connect to Network & functions when connected to Network (Network Printers) are called Network Devices.
Most widely used Network Devices are:
Routers: Helps connecting different Networks.
Switches: Helps connecting devices in a Network.
DSL Modems: Helps connecting to Internet through Service Providers.

Network is defined as a group of autonomous systems that are connected to each other. Computers in a network can communicate with each other.
Peer-to-peer
Computers that are connected to each other create a network. These networks are often configured with "public" internet Protocol (IP) addresses -- that is, the devices on the network are "visible" to devices outside the network (from the Internet or another network). Networks can also be configured as "private" -- meaning that devices outside the network cannot "see" or communicate directly to them.

Yes, all devices on a network must have a unique IP address or you will have an IP conflict and one of the devices will have its network connection disabled.
double-ring
Devices on a linear bus network are connected to each other via a wire, usually through a T-connector device. In effect, the devices are "daisy chained" together without any other device connecting them.

This question refers to the communication between a network and networked devices. Feedback between a computer and the network occurs through 'pings,' when each acknowledge each other intermittently.
