You did conceal it right

I did this. 100% worth it. Better if you put in cable panels on the walls and run the cable through the basement.

Ethernet all run through the walls. Jacks in every room. Everything that can be hardwired.

I took a retired enterprise switch from my office, and can finally make use of the dual ports on my homelab, downloader, and PC. Holy shit is it nice. It's like 20x faster than my wifi was. I transferred 2 TB of movies to my server in like 35 minutes.

Imma bout to rip holes in my wall to get a cable upstairs. WiFi is simply awful.

Concealed or not, welcome to the hardwire gang.

I ran a couple of cables for the highest priority stuff, but I’m using MoCA for the rest and it’s been great. Even for game streaming I’ve not noticed a difference, though I don’t play any fast-paced FPS games these days.

I've got ethernet running through the house, without running it through the walls. I've used cord covers but it's still a bit tacky looking, TBH.

It's totally feisable to do runs through the walls via the attic (my house is a single story on a concrete slab) but I don't want to do that particular job. Might pay someone to do it some day, but it's pretty low on list of things to throw money at.

I ran a few hundred feet through the basement and walls. I offered to hard wire everyone else in the house but strangely none of them accepted. So is just my bedroom and my office and some laid down prep work to go anywhere else in the house if needed

I have an ethernet cable going from the dining room, up the wall, through 1 door, on the ceiling, through a second door, then back down into my pc.

You did this? Every stock broker and intelligence agency also does their version of this.

Human nature.

One nice thing about my rented house is that a previous owner (possibly my landlord) ran an ethernet from the lounge at the front right to the small bedroom at the back, upstairs. So, router > Deco node > ethernet > Deco node > 1gbps switch. Then I have three PCs upstairs wired to that switch, and they all get the full glory of our 1gbps fibre.

But, like, the rent is almost £1400 a month, so...

Meh, after testing high-end router, I realized there is pretty much no difference in speeds and latency, went completely wireless. I can imagine this might not be the same in cities, apartments, large houses, etc but I live in a rural region with no other networks nearby.
