wireless adapters
Wi-Fi enabling devices
Wireless adapters are devices that enable computers or other equipment to connect to wireless networks.
A laptop with a broken internal Wi-Fi card might use a USB wireless adapter as a replacement.
Desktop computers without built-in wireless capability often rely on adapters—either USB dongles or cards installed in expansion slots: I picked up a cheap wireless adapter so my old PC could reach the router.
