Power Over Ethernet can help reduce the number of plugs. ie get a PoE switch, then you can have several wifi access points plugged into that.

we have lovely dual-WAN internet in our current abode. Either it's working or Virgin and EE have got their collective act together. I haven't spotted any outages during the work day for months. I like this.
Obviously this was too brazen an invocation of the pu****re fairy and today for the first time I've had to disable the failover to get anything done at all.

I've just spotted, late in the day, an actual reason we do need all this ethernet wiring. The upstairs underfloor heating pipes run in insulated boards with a heat-spreading surface. In effect the entire floor is a sheet of aluminium foil. Good luck getting a wifi mesh to propagate through that!
