I forgot to mention that at one installation, they did just that. See the attached picture. In most cases you can paint the wire molding the same color as the wall to blend in. If you still don't like seeing the ethernet cable, you can remove the ethernet cable from the back of the RJ45 jack in the box behind the outlet and use a special ethernet connector to run an extension through the wall and come out on top of the cabinets. This is pretty easy to do and you don't see any wires.

The microwave technically is supposed to be on it's own circuit which it still would be and the WiFi device draws such low power that it should be a non-issue.

Are there any electricians out there who can "weigh-in" on this?
