I need some ethernet cables between my computer room and the TV room.
The easiest way is to run the cable in the crawlspace and then up
through the floor for about 1 foot.

The plan is to drill a hole from the crawlspace up into the space
between two inside walls (one of them is the TV room) and between two
studs. Then I can make an opening on the wall for the faceplate and
the network jack. There is an electrical outlet on that wall, but I
don't think that's going to help.

If I could drill the hole from the top between the walls and between
studs, that would be easy. But since I can't get a drill inside the
walls, I have to drill up from the crawlspace. How do you identy the
area between two drywall, from the crawlspace looking up?




Bob: I'm sure you have a specific reason for hardwire. I'm really just
curious what you're getting over wireless that makes it worth it.



Wired is still /way/ faster than wireless.

But it is really tough to run wire in a residential environment. You just
need to do some creative planning, drilling, attic-usage, allowing exposure
in closets, that sort of thing.
