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?

    You run a wire through the instalation hoses. Then you tie the LAN cable to the wire, pull it through and crimp it. You need to keep it under 20m or so. You can buy the pull through cable/wire yourself or buy it. The lan crimp tool can be bought for around €10. For LAN cable buy standard UTP cable.
