I’m planning out my next homelab when I move soon. I have the floor plans and it looks like the best place for my computer is not centrally located, so the Wi-Fi won’t be ideal. I’d like to run the cables a short distance so the router would be in a better spot.

I’m just renting and will likely only be here for a year so I don’t want to do any drilling. I just want to secure the cables somehow to the crease where the wall and ceiling meet.

The total length will only be about 20 feet to the router.

    I don’t know where you are, but painter’s tape (or masking tape) comes in all sorts of colours. Including white.

      But it usably getting dry over time and you can’t remove it cleanly.

        Yup, expect a residue if you delay removal. Painters tape is meant to be removed relatively soon after application. Rubbing alcohol can typically remove the residue.
