Edit: I just realized I didn’t specify which Switches were Nintendo ones. I’m sorry.
Currently I live in an apartment with multiple access ports (2 of them in use), and I have them all running through a network switch.
Line 2 is connected to a wifi router which is connected to a second network switch which has a steam deck and 2 old Nintendo Switches™ connected.
Line 3 is connected to a small modem which is connected to a desktop PC.
I want to make a home server soon that also runs Home Assistant, so surely there must be a better setup to have everything actually be in the same network right? If I need any additional hardware let me know.
I can replace the wifi router with one that will actually have more than 2 LAN ports as well if needed.
Wait really? I’ve never heard this before. How or why does this matter at all?
They are trolling, it doesn’t matter at all.
Ok, I figured, but you never know.
Theyre not. Since there is optical fiber involved (laser) the light inside white cables work better in a bright environment, there will be less light attenuation leaking out. The reverse is true in a dark environment, dark cables will block more light keeping it inside of the cable, leaving more data intact without loss.
Now I am confused. Those are not fiber cables. They are regular ethernet ones. No light is in them. If you’re talking about fiber in general, then that would make more sense.
The green thing on the white box above is a 4x sc apc fiber connector
