A network card is required in order for a computer to communicate with a network. The adapter usb serial port is needed to connect a wired computer to an Ethernet. The Ethernet connects the computer and the internet modem. Wireless network adapters are more popular because they can be set up almost anywhere in the home.

The wireless network adapter is equipped with a LED light that shows the user whether it is working or not. Most laptops contain a wireless network card that is built in. You can buy network boosters to increase the signal. Older laptops may contain a wireless card that doesn't support the newer protocols. It is difficult to replace an older wireless card inside a laptop computer.
