Add ethernet port in wall?

[ThatGreg]

Is there a way to add an ethernet port into my wall?

 

I have a few all around my home, but not in my room unfortunately. Although I do have a phone input (not sure what you call it), im wondering if i can switch out the ports, or do i have to do a lot of different wiring

Electrician has to do it. It is not easy at all doing it by yourself although possible

Maybe just run a long cable from the nearest ethernet port outlet?

guess im gona have to do that. oh well.

I also have a question for this type of situation, if the home is large enough, would it be a good idea to call a networker in case if the signal starts to fade after a certain range?

it requires new wiring

it will cost a lot to get the installation done, plus they will have to rip up your wall

 

just buy a cheap long ethernet cable yourself and run it along the bottom of the wall or ceiling corner

It's not as hard as a lot of people are claiming. It's more of a pain in the ass to rip up drywall, pin all the wiring, put in a box, wire it in, etc, etc.

you can run an ethernet cable under your baseboard.

we ran ours threw our basement ceiling and up the wall to my room so it is possible to do it your self 

this is what we used http://www.homedepot.com/p/Comtran-1000-ft-23-4-Gauge-Category-6-Riser-Internet-Wire-Blue-2704-0144K5/202206485

also do not get cheap wire it will be worse than wireless if you get the junk cable
