Part of this weirdness I wonder if it may be due to where the data is downloaded from, not sure exactly how Steam works, but seems likely that something like Assassin's Creed would be hosted on Ubisoft's servers, whereas something like Elder Scrolls Online would be hosted on Microsoft/Bethesda's servers (With Steam it's kind of odd for MMOs, since some of them download via their launcher, which they all seem to have, and some download through Steam itself, like ESO does initially. Fantasy Grounds is a perfect example of this, the steam download is like 380MB, and then it downloads all the data from their servers.)

Apparently the Wifi DNS setting is 100% different than Ethernet! Which you know... makes sense :P

Basically in between ISPs, so I have Google Fiber on the one hand, and Centurylink on the other. My internal network is hooked up to CenturyLink at t he moment, and it is hosting dhcp, as well as I have a Synology NAS that I was playing around with setting up as an active directory replacement, and it needed to be configured to act as a name server for that to all work, so I had a static resolv.conf set up. Hence why it couldn't do name resolution correctly and it kept slowing everything to a crawl. Though you'd think once the name was resolved by hitting the one DNS server that it could reach, the speeds would be fine.
Ha, I definitely don't have what most people would consider a normal network set up.

Learning about fiber optic options and SFP+ transceivers is fun too :)

I bought a 2.5gbps switch as well, but as my house currently only is using powerline ethernet, and I don't think they make faster versions of those, I'm kind of in a weird place where I have a fatter internet pipe than my internal network can handle....

Router: https://shop.opnsense.com/product/dec750-opnsense-desktop-security-appliance/ (bonus is it's running an open source router system - Opnsense).
Switch: https://www.amazon.com/MikroTik-CRS305-1G-4S-Gigabit-Ethernet-RouterOS/dp/B07LFKGP1L
Fiber optic transceivers

These have to work in pair for a multiplex set up using a single fiber optic cable. More common set ups are duplex using two cables (one in each direction). Multiplex is less common but doable, which allows using one cable in both directions where light travels at different wavelengths in each.
Transceiver for RJ45 connections: https://www.fs.com/products/74680.html
Adapter in case you don't have an extra PCIe port (because a lot of motherboards just don't give you enough if you have a GPU!):

This one connects to Thunderbolt / USB4.
The set up would be:
ONT <-> router <-> switch <-> rest of the devices.
I'd need to find something separate for WiFi to use as an access point connected to the switch.
