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?
Up through the ceiling or down through the floor. Alternatively, surface mount on a tacking strip or hidden in molding. Surface mount and molding hidden is good for a couple cables but not for whole trunks. If you’ve got trunk-like wire bundles you’re stuck with the better of ceiling or under the floor (where is there enough space to run the cables you need? You’re still going to have to drill through brick if going under the floor (or be really mindful of wire length). Ceilings usually have a means of going OVER the brick walls but you may not like the drop wires in the rooms you want a wired connection. It’d be a GREAT start for access points though…
