could be well wired for nerds sake for ethernet with between like two and four ports like if they're well placed throughout the house yeah i agree that's all i've got the only things that are connected to ethernet and i wired them myself through my large basement is my computer room so every single computer that is not a laptop is connected to ethernet

And in worst-case scenario, if you want Ethernet throughout your house, but it's difficult to get it through the walls or anything, a lower-tech solution might be fine depending on how much jank you can tolerate. Like when we first bought this house and my Ethernet wiring wasn't installed yet, I ran the cable out the window and threw it into the garage.

Because Ethernet is very tolerant of running long distances through lots of different conditions. And we know Margo's kink, so... Origin story. Yeah, so I bought a 140 Ethernet cable and plugged it into my computer and... Ran it out the window and closed the window on top of it so it wouldn't move. And just ran it through the bushes, across the front of the house.

It's like running Christmas light wire. You just kind of tuck it in different places. And then under the garage door, into the garage. And I ran it that way for a couple of months and it was fine. Similarly, if you...

like you don't need necessarily to have ethernet jacks in the wall if you need to you can just like i mean depending on again where you can kind of hide or get away with this you could just like drill a hole in the floor and run a cable from your basement up into the like there's lots of different ways you can do it it's pretty tolerant and it doesn't have to be perfect that

Because it works. A lot of times, especially if you have an old house, it can be pretty difficult to run professional wiring in the walls, into jacks in the walls. That could be very disruptive.

Right, exactly. You could do it the way every college nerd did it when we were in college. Just run the cable down the stairs and tape it to the wall. There's lots of options. But anyway, good luck with the house hunt, Jeremy, if you're still in it or if you are in it to begin with. But yeah, there are a lot of options.

But the thing with most houses, it's not will it have this already because it won't. And if it does, it'll be some ancient or bad version that you won't want to use. It's more how easily can this be added and how much will it cost me?
