I had to buy carpets to hide the cable under them when running across the floor. Only exposed parts go through the doorways, and the wife complains about them. Well, I am not complaining about our craptastic wifi anymore.
If you own your house you could learn to pull cable and how to do punchdowns. It's not a super difficult job. That way you could impress the lady of the house with your technical skills while also hiding the mess.
In my experience, the part about hiding the mess is all she cared about, as long as "the internet still works."
But you will always look at that wall jack and feel great about it while always having the lowest latency and highest throughput you can possibly get, and that will always impress yourself!
I'd be careful giving broad advice like this.
In my country (Australia) it's illegal to run cabling yourself unless you're a registered cabler.
Even low voltage? That's kinda crazy to me.
I'm sorry you live in authoritariansville.
Even for an Ethernet cable? Surely not.
I seem to remember that yes, it was even for low voltage data cabling.
Not that I would imagine anyone's enforcing it strongly
I think the enforcement would come with insurance when your house burns down, they can point at "unlicensed" cables
Would they be able to prove it wasn’t installed by a licensed contractor? Ok, if you have it installed legally then you’ll likely have an invoice/receipt, but if you lose it that doesn’t mean the cable is illegal. So if you did it yourself, how would they know it’s not just a case of a missing invoice?
I'm not saying it would go anywhere, but with how scummy insurance companies are they might try it. Still, it's a bullshit law

You learn something new every day. That’s insane!
