      If your house was built before 2003, that’s probably the case. Otherwise it MAY have cat5e cables in it that were used for landlines

      I just have cables outside of walls, along the corners. And doors have enough gaps usually at the bottom to let a single Ethernet cable through and still close without any problems. It isn’t very noticeable even without drilling.

    This just made me think if a USB-C Ethernet adapter would work on my phone… That’d be awesome

      On Android it likely will, I have done exactly that before. Kinda looks weird to see a ethernet symbol where the WiFi icon usually is

    But then, where are you gonna plug your Ethernet cable?

    If you bought a alien spider router just to use as an WiFi access point, you bought the wrong thing.

    I have that and use Ethernet cable.
