This network location helps keep your device from being seen by other devices around you and helps protect your device from malicious software on the Internet.

We do not recommend this option if you have a mixed network that includes more than one combination of bit and bit operating systems.
If your network contains devices running different versions of Windows, put all devices in the same workgroup. This makes it possible for devices that are running different versions of Windows to detect and access one another. Remember that the default workgroup name is not the same in all versions of Windows.

Ethernet network adapter An adapter connects devices to a network so that they can communicate. You can also install a network adapter inside a device. Ethernet hub or switch A hub passes data from one device to another.
Because the hub can't identify the data source as coming from the Internet or another device, it sends the information to all connected devices, including the one that sent it.
A switch works similar to a hub. But a switch can also identify the intended destination of the information so that only the intended devices receive it.
A switch costs a bit more than a hub, but has faster speed. Ethernet router only needed if you want to connect more than two devices that share an Internet connection A router helps you share a single Internet connection among several devices.
