The device that connects a computer to a network is typically a network interface card (NIC), which can be either wired (Ethernet) or wireless (Wi-Fi). The NIC facilitates communication between the computer and the network by converting data into a format suitable for transmission. Additionally, routers and switches play a crucial role in directing data traffic on the network, ensuring that information reaches its intended destination.
