I'm new to Ethernet and want to know if connecting my device to the router is as simple as just plugging in the cable. Also, is using a Cat 6 cable sufficient for regular gaming? Is there anything else I should be aware of in the setup?

Yep, it's that easy! Just plug the cable into the router and your device, and you should be good to go. Most home routers have DHCP enabled, so it takes care of assigning an IP address for you automatically. And yes, a Cat 6 cable is great for gaming!
You're spot on! Just connect the cable, and you're set. Cat 6 will serve you well for gaming without any issues. Just keep in mind if the DHCP is disabled, you might need to set your IP manually.
Just a heads-up: if you're using a managed switch between your router and device, you might need to configure it. Also, avoid connecting routers to each other unless you know what you're doing, as it could cause some slowdowns. Happy gaming!
