How much to add Ethernet to a bedroom? - eviltoast

Sorry if this is a very general question but I currently have a wifi connection for my desktop in my home office. I’d like to hard wire directly to my router but my router is in my living room. Does anyone have a general idea how much it would cost to have some work done to get my desktop hardwired to my router? Live in a 1-story, 1400 sq ft home so shouldn’t be a big job.

    You should really be posting this on NextDoor or local forum/subreddit, & get some referrals at the same time.

    That said:

    • Single story home implies you at least have an easy cable run in the attic. Depending on construction basement/crawlspace could be easy too (unless it’s a slab).
    • Low voltage contractor is generally a better bet than electrician for the termination and materials choice. Unless you have the networking knowledge and social skills/gumption/experience with contractors to micromanage a electrician into do the right thing (and you need all those skills, even though I can research the technical info in more detail than contractors on some types of projects I cannot always convince them to do it the way I want)
