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.
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.
