OBB,

Sounds like you are doing fine! I am originally trained in Finance but have supported IT most of my career, other than 5 years in M&A / global consolidations, with the first 5 years supporting LAN/WAN network R&D in the early 90's with some of the peeps on the Ethernet standards committee, so I have learned from experience with lunch discussions and actual WAN / LAN usage experience. Now I do finance database design work as a SQL Server dba, so I work with the network and security peeps every once in awhile. . and ask them network questions when I get stuck. .. ie, i know enough to be real dangerous but to also ask the right questions

So in your house, most all of your devices can individually handle the speed requirements, so when all on the same network, then the network components and design are the limiting factor. . . which is why I tried to give examples of a higher end design to eliminate home design issues, or when the broadband can be the limiting factor at certain times of the day. Went to best buy and they didn't understand why I was doing it when looking for components. . . and i needed two closets to get enough room for everything, in a new build. Had to call Galaxy back in because they wired it wrong, they didn't believe me until they got their network guys to the house.

So I just happen to be particular in my entire work environment with technology, including my network, pc specs and software. . . as I am sure you are with your pc and software. . . (learning python as an old dog is very, very slow)
