Default AVID S1 (x2) & DOCK + MAC PRO 2019 Setup

Hi everyone,

I'm going to have a setup with 2 AVID S1 + DOCK connected on the second Ethernet port of a Mac Pro 2019.l, plus 3 Tablets for metering.

The first ethernet port is connected to a switch connected to the Internet Router.

So for Avid I'm going to use a Netgear unmanaged Switch connected to the second Ethernet port available on the Mac Pro.

1- Is it better to use Cross or straight cable from Switch to S1 and/or from Switch to Mac? I read it should be the same but did anyone notice differences?

2- Do I need to put another wifi router just for this system to have the Tablets on a dedicated wifi network that is the same of the wired network of the S1 or is it ok to have the Controllers wired connected to the second Ethernet port (through the switch) and the Tablets in the wifi on the Internet Router?

Tks for feedback
