Home Network - Preston Bennington

In my home, we have quite a few devices. The first set of which use a wired connection, which means they must plug directly into the modem using an Ethernet cable. These devices are my desktop computer and my Raspberry Pi, which is just a little bitty computer about the size of a student ID card. The next set of devices is connected with a wireless connection, or WiFi. These devices include my parents' macbooks, my chromebook, my 3DS system, and our ancient Wii console. The last set, or other connections, is a bit tricky. They technically also use the WiFi, but for the most part they use a cell signal, or cellular data. The most important part of keeping a strong home network would be keeping track of all the devices using the network, and what devices use the most and least data or electricity to minimize costs.

I notice that we both have the same ISP which is comcast and also the same cable, the coax cable. I wonder if you have a gigabit router and also what is the other connection, What if you use connected your PC wirelessly by using a wifi adapter, would it slow the speed down?
