Wired Network

Return to Glossary

A Wired Network uses cables to connect devices, such as laptop or desktop computers, to the Internet or another network. A wired network has some disadvantages when compared to a wireless network. The biggest disadvantage is that your device is tethered to a router. The most common wired networks use cables connected at one end to an ethernet port on the network router and at the other end to a computer or other device.
