ethernet adapter
Wired internet bridge
An ethernet adapter is a device that connects a computer or other hardware to a wired network.
Most modern computers have ethernet adapters built into their motherboards, but standalone adapters—often USB dongles—let devices without built-in ports connect to ethernet cables: I bought an ethernet adapter for my laptop since it only has USB-C ports.
