The TP-LINK TF-3283 10100M Fast Ethernet Adapter is a network interface card (NIC) designed to enable Ethernet connectivity for your computer. Specifically, it supports 10/100 Mbps Ethernet speeds, allowing you to connect your PC to a wired local area network (LAN) or to the internet via a network cable (Ethernet).

This adapter requires the appropriate Windows driver to function correctly, allowing your operating system to recognize the network card and communicate with it. Without the driver, your computer may not be able to use the Ethernet port, meaning you wouldn't be able to access the network or internet via the Ethernet connection.
