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!

How beneficial is connecting via ethernet instead of wifi? My wifi mesh pods only have 1 ethernet out port, so I use it for my desktop. Not sure if I could split it or not, but I imagine if I did it'd slow down my desktop's internet connection, which I'd rather not do.

    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.
