    from a diagramming pov, remember to document the link speed at each end as well as the ethernet cable type. if your cable modem supports 10GB I would really really look at 10GB network devices pretty closely, budget allowing. I would steer cleared of managed, it’s just a PIA for your setup.

    You might want to experiment with modem <-> switch <-> wifi vs (modem <-> wifi <-> switch). remember wifi is just ethernet. so the order may or may not matter as much (vendor gets a vote). there does not appear to be a reason to march ethernet cable traffic thru the wifi router, but maybe there is???

    def agree an 8 port switch might be better for you, use a 5 to split a single cable at a single location (say, tv + game console + speaker combo)

    Remember if you need a WiFi mesh (multi access-point) to connect your devices, if possible, link the mesh backplane together via ethernet cable so that you don’t chew half the speed with wi-fi backplane chatter.

    Whoops

    Excel is def the mkt leader for a reason

    I loathe Ms Access but have to admit there is no peer that even comes close.

    Vs code is relatively reliable, cross platform and gets the job done. When there are a lot of people “one way that works for all” is a quality as well.

    That said, I wish open offices were better. Even Apple numbers isn’t a realistic excel alt yet (though it is super decent). And I agree there are plenty of editors that work in many situations.
