What's the best way to run a temporary eth cable? - eviltoast

I’m planning out my next homelab when I move soon. I have the floor plans and it looks like the best place for my computer is not centrally located, so the Wi-Fi won’t be ideal. I’d like to run the cables a short distance so the router would be in a better spot.

I’m just renting and will likely only be here for a year so I don’t want to do any drilling. I just want to secure the cables somehow to the crease where the wall and ceiling meet.

The total length will only be about 20 feet to the router.

    But also unshielded so uncoil them entirely and do not lay them next to other data lines. I had so many dropped packages because of that.

      Ohhh so my bundle at the start and middle of the line probably isn’t good? If my internet has any issues in the future ill go and sort that 🙃

        Yeah that made a massive dufference for me. Then again, it was unshielded cable so what did I expect?
