I’m planning out my next homelab when I move soon. I have the floor plans and it looks like the best place for my computer is not centrally located, so the Wi-Fi won’t be ideal. I’d like to run the cables a short distance so the router would be in a better spot.
I’m just renting and will likely only be here for a year so I don’t want to do any drilling. I just want to secure the cables somehow to the crease where the wall and ceiling meet.
The total length will only be about 20 feet to the router.
I have done exactly this.
Ikea wire management pack. Seriously. It used pin nails so at that height it is literally invisible and you don’t have to spackle when you leave.
They are white and with a white cable and white wall, they are close to invisible.
They are sturdy, but easily removable. Worst case you can pull the cable 90 degrees to the nail-in angle and they will all pop out.
They don’t cause damage either to the paint like those fucking sticky raceways and hooks ALWAYS do, even when properly removed.
