".....I _could_ probably open the cabling duct, terminate the Cat5 a bit before the socket, put a passive splitter, reconnect one branch to the wall socket and the other to a very small wifi router (a hacked Fonera would fit, once stripped from its plastic casing, or a Pi with a USB wifi dongle)....." I think you'll find that, not only would it put you in breach of laws relating to unauthorised access (to the LAN in this case), you would be leaving a very easily traceable piece of hardware for the Police to use as evidence. Have you lot forgotten Aaron Swartz already?
