Hey everyone!

Looking for advice, so, I’ll keep this short.

I want to run an ethernet cable from my living room (from the router) to the bedroom directly above. Unfortunately drilling holes in the walls isn’t an option as It is a rented house.

I currently use home plugs which work okay, but I don’t get the speeds I need.

Is it feasable to cut an ethernet cable sized hole in a wall outlet, and run the ethernet cable to the outlet directly above, in which I would also cut a cable sized hole for it to fit through? It seems like it would be straight forward, but I don’t want to get electrocuted haha. And I’m aware their will be a much better way to do this.

Any advice?

Thanks

    Thanks for all the suggestions.

    Do you think there is any chance an ethernet cable could become live by being next to electrical wiring? I’m assuming it’s all insulated right?
