Disclaimer: I live in Europe, so my house’s walls are made of bricks and mortar, no plasterboard to easily cut / patch up.
I have a room that is generally cooler than the rest of my home and it’s also far away from my bedroom, so I setup my home lab there. Until now, I managed with WiFi, but I switched operators due to soaring prices and I got screwed since the download / upload speed on this one is kinda shitty. Hence, I want to pass LAN cables from my home lab to my home office, which would mean going through two rooms or, correspondingly, two doors. Since it’s my property, I thought of cutting a couple of centimeters from the door frame and then lead the cables through a skirting board and then through the space cut up from the door frame. What do you think? Any other idea?
Personally I run the cables up into the attic/loft and then back into the rooms. Luckily the previous owner already had TV antenna run to each room, so the holes are already there. The other option I’ve used is to follow the central heating pipes, although this only works for me as I’m using industrial cable that’s okay with the heat.
Failing that you could use power line adapters but these aren’t the best.
