wireless adapter
Network connection device
A wireless adapter is a device that enables a computer or other hardware to connect to a wireless network.
Most laptops have built-in wireless adapters; desktop computers often require a USB adapter or internal card to connect to Wi-Fi.
The old desktop needed a wireless adapter to get online.
