Is Setting Up Ethernet as Easy as Plugging It In?

You're right on track! Most routers today come with DHCP enabled, which means all you need to do is connect the cable. And Cat 6 is indeed plenty for regular gaming. Typically, there aren’t any additional steps unless you've turned off the DHCP.

Just a little heads up: If you’re using a switch in between your router and device, make sure it’s configured properly. Also, avoid connecting multiple routers as it might create conflicts, but it shouldn’t be a problem for most setups. Enjoy your gaming!

Yep, it's that simple! Just plug the Ethernet cable into the router and your device, and you're good to go. Most home routers automatically handle the settings for you. You also nailed it with Cat 6; it's definitely sufficient for gaming. No extra configurations are needed unless you've messed with your router's settings before.
