In computer networking, a wireless access point (WAP) (also just access point (AP)) is a networking hardware device that allows other Wi-Fi devices to connect to a wired network or wireless network. As a standalone device, the AP may have a wired or wireless connection to a switch or router , but in a wireless router it can also be an integral ...
Thunderbolt is the brand name of a hardware interface for the connection of external peripherals to a computer.It was developed by Intel in collaboration with Apple. [7] [8] It was initially marketed under the name Light Peak, and first sold as part of an end-user product on 24 February 2011.
802.11ac Wi-Fi (Intel Wireless-AC 3165) and Bluetooth 4.0; Internal support for M.2 (E-Keyed) 22×30 wireless card supporting PCIe 2.0 ×1, and USB 2.0; Two USB 3.0 connectors on back panel; Two USB 3.0 connectors on front panel; Two internal USB 2.0 ports via header; Up to 7.1 surround audio via HDMI; Headphone/microphone jack on the front panel
The projected result was a 5–15% failure rate within three years of 3 Gbit/s SATA ports, commonly used for storage devices such as hard drives and optical drives. The bug was present in revision B2 of the chipsets, and was fixed with B3. Z68 did not have this bug, since the B2 revision for it was never released. 6 Gbit/s ports were not affected.
Examples of computer connector sockets on various laptops Ports on the back of the Apple Mac Mini (2005). A computer port is a hardware piece on a computer where an electrical connector can be plugged to link the device to external devices, such as another computer, a peripheral device or network equipment.

Version 1.0 defined 20 Gbit/s and 40 Gbit/s connections, the required support of USB 2.0 and USB 3.x connections at up to 10 Gbit/s with support for tunneling connections according to the PCIe 4.0, USB 3.2 and DP 1.4a specifications. Optional backwards compatibility to Thunderbolt 3 as well as Host-to-Host networking were also defined.
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) [3] is a local computer bus for attaching hardware devices in a computer and is part of the PCI Local Bus standard. The PCI bus supports the functions found on a processor bus but in a standardized format that is independent of any given processor's native bus.
Through the use of controller-integrated channel circuitry, the northbridge (or CPU itself) can directly link signals from the I/O units to the CPU for data control and access. As of 2024, most personal computer devices based on Intel or AMD architectures no longer use a set of two chips, and instead have a single chip acting as the 'chipset ...
