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?
I’ve used IP-over-AC in the past and it worked well for me. There will be some data loss but it’s a lot less of a hassle to setup. If you own your home though, I’d probably just run the Ethernet cables. If you don’t want to drill holes, run the cables along trim and use coax staples to attach them to the wall or trim.
