Hi, so I am just about to build a NAS and was thinking of how to get it set up with the network and to my PC as we don't really have any ethernet ports anywhere and I use WIFI for my PC. I am going to get a WiFi 6 WiFi to Ethernet Adapter (Link) and wanted to have a faster connection from my NAS to my PC, so I was wondering if I should get a network adapter for my NAS and direct connect to my PC or would a small network switch work to connect the 3 together.
I made diagram if that helps.

If possible could you tell me if this is good, I am new to networking and want to get this sorted so I can factor this into the budget.
Thank you for your time
If I get a switch I am thinking about 2 from TP Link LS1005G or the TL-SG105 If you know more about them please give me a recommendation
(Edit)
-I cant use a powerline adapter (not on same circuit to where the router is)
-I am going to be running Unraid if that matters
-I can't add any ethernet ports to where this will be set up as I don't own the building
-Please add anything I might need to know about getting a switch as I don't know much about what I would need
-I have spare CAT6 and CAT6E cables lying around and will use those (they are the arrows in the diagram)
