Ethernet Cable Management Help [Picture]

[redness]

How do I get the wire through the door nicely without drilling a hole and not obstructing the door? Currently I cannot open it all the way.

What kind of tape should I use to keep it on the wall?

You could just use regular 3M Scotch tape to secure it to the wall.

However, instead of running an ethernet cable through a doorway, why not get Powerline Ethernet. I know that the model I listed is rather pricey... There are more budget friendly ones out there.

Basically, Powerline Ethernet transmits an ethernet signal through the wiring of your house. It's completely safe and adds no risk of a fire hazard. One unit needs to be in reach of a device to connect to via an ethernet cable. Once that's taken care of, plug the other unit in near the computer that needs an ethernet connection and run a cable from the unit to the computer. No more ethernet through doorways!

Tip: The two units don't have to be on the same circuit, just as long as power is coming from the same outside source.

I've tried that before but the only models available where I live are small ones (not good for what I intend to use).

Will regular scotch tape not cause some sort of interference?

I would wrap the ethernet cable in electrical tape to prevent this, then use the Scotch tape to secure it to the wall.
