Network switch device
I saw a video yesterday featuring Liness talking about a 100Gig switch. I got confused about one part—does the switch require the same internet speed for connecting devices, or can it only support devices at that speed over a LAN?
Files moving between networks depend on local hardware capabilities. Internet performance is mainly controlled by your ISP, while speeds beyond that are restricted by the connection itself.
It doesn't require internet access. It links devices together.
The primary role of a switch is to route packets quickly and efficiently within a network. While multi-layer switches can handle advanced routing, their core function remains delivering packets swiftly to their intended destinations, whether directly to end users or further along the path.
This implies you could achieve 10 gigabits per second locally even with a 1 gigabit connection, provided your switch is compatible.

Yes, if all devices share the same subnet or VLAN on that switch, OR if you have a router-capable switch with properly configured Layer 3 VLAN interfaces.
Additionally, as @Lurick mentioned, your storage must handle the workload effectively. When using hard drives, the connection speed can limit the process based on the configuration.
