    Yeah, that’s what I’m worried about. Fortunately, the previous owner seemed obsessed with phone and coax jacks, so almost every room has at least one of them. I could just run ethernet over those jacks, but I might be able to attach a string to them to pull in a proper ethernet cable. Then again, maybe I’ll just end up needing to drill new holes, idk.

    I’m just not looking forward to doing it is all.

      Make sure you come back and update me when you try it, and then find out that the cables are all stapled to the studs.

      That’s always extra fun to discover once you start running cabling.

      Though, if you have good coax everywhere, MOCA is a legitimate option you should be considering, as it’ll do gigabit (more than, even) and the adapters aren’t particularly expensive compared to dealing with having to pull cabling through everywhere.
