Get a flat Ethernet cable and run it up along the ceiling. It sits nicely on door frames too. Add 25% to the length you estimate you need and you'll barely have enough.
Or you could stop being poor and buy a house you walking example of failure to thrive.
This is what I did in my apartment. They advertised 1gb fiber speeds, but that only works if you're plugged into the one port in the living room... so I just ran cable to my bedroom and set up a network there.
The cables weren't even expensive, $25 for 50ft "Cat8" cables. Can't personally confirm they're cat8, but can confirm they don't bottleneck a 2.5gb network.

>This is a code violation
Hate to break it to you, unless you built your house yourself its likely breaking at least a dozen codes.
Something so fucking low voltage as ethernet is the last of anyone's concerns retard.
this looks bad for you either way, loser cope or such a loser that you can’t imagine anyone being successful enough to own a house because you filled your head with millennial self pity
You really want something more like this with the different style of clips: https://www.amazon.com/Ethernet-Durable-Internet-Computer-Connectors/dp/B01F4XBTH0
round cables sag if you mount them up high, while flat ones can go pretty far near the ceiling. if the cable matches the paint decently people stop noticing them after a couple days too.
Had the same problem, couldn't use Wifi due to power lines in the wall + too many channel overlays. I had only half the download speed I should have and 20+ mini disconnects within 24 hours.
Went with a powerline adapter, works like a charm. Basically zero download speed loss and my ping only went up from 14 ms to 20 ms. Although your results my vary, depending on your house.
Get brave and run custom cable through the drywall. Drywall is a wearing part of a house, small holes can be filled with spackle, and if you're renting it's common practice to spackle+paint between long tenents. Apartments are a nightmare for wifi, modern GPUs can crack consumer encryption pretty easily, and powerline is only a little bit better.
Generally, yes it will show. It depends on a lot of factors, like the lighting, but even if you use paint from the same can the wall was painted with, it will look a little different. Test it out on an inconspicuous spot first and see if you can live with it or if you should paint the whole wall
Eh paintings not that tough. For spot fixes I just accept that it will look a little different, but that eventually I’ll paint the whole room a different color
You’ll cut a square out of the drywall and put a low voltage ring over it. It’s not like a junction box for a power outlet, it’s literally just a ring that you screw the wall plate into. You don’t want to put it over a stud, cut in the space between the studs
Get pic related, run cable within the same electrical/phone wiring tubes already installed
???
Profit!
This is a code violation in any part of the civilized world and you will be in a heap of shit if you do this and there happens to be any reason for the fire department, building inspector or electrician to visit. Run cable separately.

Buy spool, plugs and a crimper. It's cheaper and you can make custom lengths, female sockets, do your own splits or xovers, etc. Could probably sell custom cables on Marketplace to cover all costs.

Running data cable alongside power cable is a bad idea. You should try to run it at least a few feet apart and if you have to cross over try to do it perpendicularly at a single point.
Listen to the anons telling you to open the drywall and run new cable. That is the best way to do it, everyone else is recommending a hack job. You’ll likely need to route the cable up into your room from a basement or crawl space. Take careful measurements at each floor to figure out where the hole is going to go. If you have a 90 degree drill attachment, you can cut a small square in the drywall and drill down through the bottom plate. You’ll need to go down to the floor below and do the same up through the top plate. Remember that you’ll have a foot or so of joist space between the floors. If the basement is unfinished this part is easy. You can also use a long bell hanger bit, but you’ll need to cut out a bigger section of the drywall, and a 90 degree attachment is cheaper.
Fish solid copper cat6 (or higher, it’s your money) CMR cable through the holes you drilled. You can use electrical tape and a metal coat hanger to do this. If you measured well, it shouldnt be too hard. Use a punch down tool to connect the cable to keystone jacks and only use patch cable for the last few feet of connection to your devices. Patch up the drywall (plenty of YouTube tutorials. Keep the squares of drywall you cut out, use 45 minute hot mud, brace with scrap wood, and keep your tools clean is my only advice) and put in a low voltage bracket in the wall. You’ll be tempted to put the bracket in the same place you cut the drywall, but patching it is much easier if you place the bracket a bit higher into solid drywall
Then you just screw on your wall plate, plug it all in, and you’re done
Just drop cables on the floor? It's not a 360V-50A power cable that requires special care to not kill you, and it's thin enought that you can sqeeze it under most interior doors.
If you're a rentoid,just buy a wifi 6e router and call it a day. If you think there's too much distance in your fancy apartment, get a mesh router system set up.
6e is basically equivalent to Ethernet in 90% of practical applications and usage. Go buy it.
I bought a "6e" access point that came highly recommended and it maxes out at about 30mbps, even when connecting with a device that also supports 6e. Shit's a joke.

Bitch get some fiber and stop complaining.

At that length you can easily push 10Gbs over the shittiest Cat 5e.

What do you think OP meant by "recently moved"?
What do you think OP meant by "my room"
lmao rentoid problems
good for you that your mother takes care of you
this looks bad for you either way, loser cope or such a loser that you can’t imagine anyone being successful enough to own a house because you filled your head with millennial self pity
ok renter
those are not any standard of ethernet socket, traditionally is 8p8c these look more like 4 possibly 6
Your options are:
>Wifi
>Powerline adapters
>MoCa if the place has coax
>just accept ethernet cables on the floor
the horror

This.
And just cover the holes while you use them with something like furniture while you're still running cabling though them
Will it be noticeable if I paint just one area after filling a hole? Or do I have to repaint the whole wall?
Generally, yes it will show. It depends on a lot of factors, like the lighting, but even if you use paint from the same can the wall was painted with, it will look a little different. Test it out on an inconspicuous spot first and see if you can live with it or if you should paint the whole wall
Then I do that and the adjacent wall looks slightly different... gotta paint the whole room.
Eh paintings not that tough. For spot fixes I just accept that it will look a little different, but that eventually I’ll paint the whole room a different color
Through the drywall itself? Or do you have to put holes in the studs to get it through?

>>No Ethernet plugins in my room
>What sick game is this
powerline adapters, mong boy
Buy slim sleeved ethernet cable and route it throught the power line canals.

I ditched my phone line in favor of CAT7 ports as I haven't used a phone in very long. Besides if I ever need one I can just hire a SIP provider.
Get a router idiot
and do what, retard?
I live alone in my 5 bedroom house and I just run a 30m ethernet cable from one end of the house to my main room on the other side.

it literally doesn't matter
Just drop cables on the floor? It's not a 360V-50A power cable that requires special care to not kill you, and it's thin enought that you can sqeeze it under most interior doors.
>Just drop cables on the floor
Looks like shit, I'd honestly just route on the ceiling if you can't put it in your walls.
just have it on the ground and constantly trip on it, like me
just run the cable
>muh powerline
no
>muh moca
no
>muh wifi
no
run the damn cable
If you're a rentoid,just buy a wifi 6e router and call it a day. If you think there's too much distance in your fancy apartment, get a mesh router system set up.
