Hi there! This is a video that I made that I’m hoping can act as a beginner friendly entry level point to the world of self hosting and running a homelab. Just thought I’d share in case anyone is interested, and I hope it can be a resource to share with noobies. I don’t claim to be an expert at all so I’d also love some feedback. Thanks!

    I can’t be sure since technology has so many different factors, but splitting a single Ethernet out into multiple with a network switch won’t really affect it much if at all. Cat5e cable/jack (common for most cables) gets 1 gigabit, so unless you have a gigabit connection and maxing out the connections already, you shouldn’t notice it.

    As for WiFi, even though a lot of newer technology is great, it’s not going to beat Ethernet.

      Good to know, thanks! I did just upgrade to a gigabit fiber connection, but you’re right that I’m not usually maxing that out.
