Ethernet

More context

The Ethernet conversation is split between practical “wired internet without (or beyond) running Ethernet cables” troubleshooting and upgrades like 2.5GbE/10GbE for faster local networking. Several headlines also highlight new hardware that brings higher-speed Ethernet (2.5GbE/10GbE switches, SBCs, and microcontrollers) into projects and small networks.
