See, I have no interest in running large server hardware at home. I did it different.
At first i Had a stack of 2-3 old laptops running stuff. Now I just use 4 raspberry pi 4s, with 8gb. It lives in a cubby in my office desk. Low energy, low maintenance and works really well. Got rid of the laptops.
My network is the TPLink Omada stuff, sittign on some shelves in our family room. Everythign is wifi and I run a 2nd ap on the opposite side of the house using MoCA 2.5 to connect them over the coax in the 2 rooms to improve performance.
