I’m considering clipping the cable where it enters the wall, terminating it, and buying a PoE adapter so that I can see if a single wifi router mounted in that spot will cover the whole house.

Is this a terrible idea? What should I look out for?

    I’ve asked the previous owner, but she didn’t seem to have any idea what her ex-husband did. (Before that, it was her parents’ house.)

    There’s another long Ethernet cable that seems to be where they had their access point on the other side of the hallway, but that leads to a corner of another room where they used to have a TV.

    It would make sense for the original cable to come out on that side of the hall, but it’s just not there. Maybe it’s behind the wood paneled ceiling.
