To build a picture for this simple question. My house is three floors first floor consist of the fiber connection coming into the router, and a lounge TV with a Roku box. Middle floor has a second TV connected to a ROKU box, along with a mesh repeater. The top floor has another TV /w a chromecast. The Jellyfin server is on the top floor, which is installed on Windows and uses a TP Link 1300 Wifi adapter which connects to the mesh repeater over 5ghz and gets 300mbps down and 70 up.
My whole house is using wifi and over 5ghz, while the top floor can connect to the router it gets a better connection off the repeater. My server is on the local LAN only, no outside streaming.
When I load the Jellyfin app on the top floor TV how does it stream it, does the server send the stream to the repeater-router then back up to the repeater and to the TV? Curious on the route it takes in the network or does the tv just get the stream directly from the server?
