What is your home network setup?

OK, so my home network is basically a old Dell Inspiron 660 running Windows 11 Home edition, which I use for running my entire media collection of movies, TV shows and music thru Emby, a personal media server. Works great as it gives you all of your media anywhere you have internet, be it at home or away. My other PC is a New Dell tower that I use for my Graphic design business from home,and a new Dell Latitude E5580 laptop for my business also. Both running Windows 11 Pro editions.
What I like about having Emby is I have my music and movies anywhere at any time.
I also use Onedrive, which is a life saver. Able to access my Graphic design files home or away on my laptop.

Away I have my Samsung Tablet that I also is a laptop whenever I do not feel like typing on my pc and it is an easy way to, check my emails about whenever I do wake up and go into the zombie mode, I have a really old NVDIDIA / Intel hybrid that is basically running windows 10 Home, I shoot through youtube every once a while, but I mostly for my music goes through newpipe app on my moto edge celluar, or I will turn it on via Dish network. I also have Terabox that backed up my old files and it is downloaded on my cell yay, no more stupid verizon cloud thing, yay..

Got super Joey Dish on my room too, a playstation three, in the other room is my mother's Levono p.c. for her every day stuff she always does, and can stream anything she wants on it, our dish just upgraded to streaming as well. :)

My actual home network is just a 500+ Mb/s fibre-optic broadband connection to a 1 Gb/s wireless router, and various devices connected to that: 1 desktop (few year old HP), one NAS, mine and my wife's laptops (MacOS and Windows), plus phones, my tablet, and odd domestic appliances like a TV, a solar inverter and a dishwasher(*). No media server (though I can use the kitchen radio as a networked speaker), and no "smart speakers" or similar.

I keep the non-confidential folders of my laptop backed-up and synced with the lab, but don't otherwise use any cloud storage systems.

So actually a very simple system.

(*) just for a laugh - not really convinced that the ability to start the dishwasher remotely is terribly useful...
