I have a rudimentary understanding of how my home network operates, but I'd like to know more. What resources would you recommend for a beginner to learn how computer networking works, network infrastructures, different protocols, etc?

I'm not looking to get into enterprise networking but I couldn't find another community to post this question so I apologize if it's irrelevant!

What I did was study the material for the Comptia Network+ certification. Don't have to take the exam since it's not the most marketable cert, but it'll give you all the fundamental knowledge and concepts! You can find study videos on YouTube or there are plenty of torrents of paid training vids.
