Wireless networks use radio waves to transmit data between devices. Wired networks use cables, such as Ethernet, to connect devices, Wired networks offer higher speed, stability, and security, but they also require more infrastructure, maintenance, and cost than wireless networks.
Wired/Wireless Networking
On basis of physical medium, there are 2 types of networks:
(a) Wired Network: As we all know, “wired” refers to any physical medium made up of cables. Copper wire, twisted pair, or fiber optic cables are all options. A wired network employs wires to link devices to the Internet or another network, such as laptops or desktop PCs.
(b) Wireless Network: “Wireless” means without wire, media that is made up of electromagnetic waves (EM Waves) or infrared waves. Antennas or sensors will be present on all wireless devices. Cellular phones, wireless sensors, TV remotes, satellite disc receivers, and laptops with WLAN cards are all examples of wireless devices. For data or voice communication, a wireless network uses radiofrequency waves rather than wires.
