Severe flaw in WPA2 protocol leaves Wi-Fi traffic open to eavesdropping

CAT5 and duct tape are your friend. I have the same problem and it’s quite easy to manipulate it around and behind things without problems. One section of cable I have is 19m to span a 3m floor.

We have to do this because I live in crowded London and WiFi barely works when you have 40 other networks next to you.

That's heinously ugly though.

That's only because you can't see RF pollution. In comparison, it's tidy.

It's certainly not aesthetically pleasing, although there is some mileage in that department with printed duct tapes, but it works which is the main thing. To be honest with careful routing it's only taped down in one place in a corner. You wouldn't know there were any cables running around unless you look very carefully.

There are cable channels out there, including really slim ones. They make it slightly less ugly.
