You can choose in the edge router settings whether each port on the router is a separate network or whether they're the same network.
Everything on the same network is easiest in terms of wireless devices being able to access your NAS, PC, etc but obviously less secure in that wireless devices can access your NAS, PC, etc

Is that really an issue with a personal network? How likely would I be to someone breaking into my network? How secure would I have to make it to make this less likely?
Also is having wireless access to my network a good thing? Would I actually use that wireless access for anything at all or would it just be an affectation?
Probably questions I should have asked before buying the kit..

okay @TW and @mashton I have brought all the ubiquiti things!!!
Edge Router
Tough Switch 5
Wifi AC
So my current plan is to use switch for wired connections to:
Front room -
Amazon Fire Stick
NAS
PS4
Network Audio Streamer
Study -
Desktop Mac
Which means my WiFi would be a seperate network, as if I remember correctly @Velocio mentioned that the edge router creates a different network for each ethernet connection.
I was enamoured of having everything on one network, both wired and wireless. Feels like the future.
Is the solution to have one of my wired connections become my wifi ac, and use the one thats swapped out wirelessly.
Or am I needlessly overcomplicating/thinking things?
