Your Network card, or "Network Interface Device" is used to connect to the Internet. This will generally be either integrated in the Motherboard, or inserted as a PCI card (or PCMCI for a laptop).
To connect to the Internet, you need six essential elements: A device capable of connecting to the Internet, such as a computer, smartphone, or tablet. A network interface, which can be a network card or built-in capability in your device. An Internet Service Provider (ISP) to provide you with access to the Internet. A modem to convert the digital data from your device into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet. A router to manage the connections between your devices and the Internet. Cables or wireless technology (such as Wi-Fi) to physically connect your device to the modem or router.

I need to find my password to connect my router to the internet? Where can I get it?
The same way you make any internet connection. The internet does not care how long you will be connected. If you want to connect a device to the internet and already have internet service without WiFi you could unplug the PC ethernet cable from you router or modem and plug in the new device with a different ethernet cable. If you don't have internet service you must get internet service to connect.
