I have two desktops that i have beefed up the RAM and storage and im using to host local services for my household along with a few that are publicly accessable. proxmox by default requires ethernet so the main connection is eth0 i belive. both my proxmox nodes have nice wifi 6 wlan and my router is also wifi 6. im thinking thats potentially a router for quite a bit of traffic wither its just proxmox node to proxmox node or node to router. either way, im curious as to what my options are for utilizng that network interface to help overall preformance. Thanks for the help and I love proxmox.
 
dont use wifi interfaces on proxmox.
you can use it inside a vm for example via pci-passthrough, but i do not recommend using it on the backend.
wifi compared to ethernet is just not stable enough for a server of any kind.
you do not have guaranteed bandwidth or ping times, nor can you foresee any packetloss due to external circumstances.
on ethernet you usually dont have any of those issues unless a component is broken/misconfigured.

i for example have an intel ax210 in my proxmox server which i passed through to a windows 11 vm for wifi-testing purposes (i test beta-hardware occasionally).
for this purpose its fine, but i would never have it as a backend connection for proxmox.
