How do wired and wireless networks transmit data between devices?

Wired and wireless networks use different methods to transmit data between devices. In wired networks, data is transmitted through physical cables, while wireless networks transmit data using radio waves.

Wired networks use Ethernet cables to connect devices to a network. Data is transmitted as electrical signals through the cables, using a protocol known as Ethernet. The cables carry the signals from one device to another, and the data is received and processed by the receiving device.

Wireless networks, on the other hand, use radio waves to transmit data between devices. In a wireless network, data is transmitted using a wireless adapter, which converts the data into radio waves and sends them out over the airwaves. The receiving device picks up the radio waves and converts them back into data.

Both wired and wireless networks have advantages and disadvantages. Wired networks are generally faster and more reliable than wireless networks, but they are also more difficult to set up and maintain. Wireless networks are more flexible and easier to set up, but they can be less secure and slower than wired networks.
