I feel like this shouldn't be confusing, but I've been using a wireless laptop for so long and now I'm planning a gaming pc build.
My current laptop connects to other things, like my printer, over my wifi network. If I plan to connect the new pc with an ethernet cable, do I still need a wifi enabled motherboard to connect to other devices? Do I need to turn off wifi on the pc when I connect via ethernet cable? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of having a wifi enabled MB in the first place?
Currently I have my router connected to an eero mesh network hub in the same room as my computer. There is another, unused ethernet port on both the router and the eero. I assume I would connect the new pc directly to the router. This should have no impact on the wireless network, right?
