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?
If I read this correctly, an ethernet cable will not increase your down/up speed from your ISP.
But going to hardwired will reduce the loss that comes with wifi. If you have already slow Internet, finding any way to maintain it without degradation can be worthwhile.
I’m all for Ethernet when it comes to stability, but wifi is very fast and unless OP is transferring large files, Ethernet is not worth drilling through brick for. I also think it’s not worth looking at external conduit for.
It’s also possible OP is using ISP provided wifi which isn’t as good as the old stuff, or is simply on the wrong channel in a congested area.
