You do need a drill to get through all the walls, though.

If your house was built before 2003, that's probably the case. Otherwise it MAY have cat5e cables in it that were used for landlines

In every room? That seems unlikely.

You're right. They're not in the bathrooms in my house

I just have cables outside of walls, along the corners. And doors have enough gaps usually at the bottom to let a single Ethernet cable through and still close without any problems. It isn't very noticeable even without drilling.

This just made me think if a USB-C Ethernet adapter would work on my phone... That'd be awesome

On Android it likely will, I have done exactly that before. Kinda looks weird to see a ethernet symbol where the WiFi icon usually is

I've done that a few times to reverse tether Android phones and tablets

$299? Amateurs

But then, where are you gonna plug your Ethernet cable?

If you bought a alien spider router just to use as an WiFi access point, you bought the wrong thing.

I have that and use Ethernet cable.
