USBNetwork

USBNetwork refers to a technology that allows network connectivity over a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection. This typically involves a USB device that acts as a network adapter, providing Ethernet or wireless networking capabilities to a host computer. These devices can range from small USB Ethernet dongles to more complex docking stations that offer multiple network ports and other functionalities. The primary advantage of USBNetwork is its portability and ease of use, allowing users to quickly add or change network connections without needing to open a computer or install internal hardware. Drivers are usually provided by the manufacturer, and once installed, the USB network adapter functions similarly to an internal network card. This technology is commonly employed by users who need to connect to a wired network when their device lacks an Ethernet port, or to access a stable wired connection as an alternative to potentially less reliable Wi-Fi. It's also frequently used in situations where an existing network port is unavailable or malfunctioning. The speed and performance of a USBNetwork connection are dependent on the USB standard supported by both the host device and the adapter, with newer USB standards offering significantly higher bandwidth.
