Ethernet through a wall?

Question

I have my computer in one room and a Tivo in another. They are located against the same wall. I was wondering how I could run an ethernet cable from my router in one room to my Tivo in another through the wall. I'd like it to look nice. So, do I just buy two ethernet wall plates and small ethernet cable to connect the two wall plates in the wall???

Answer 1

Yes. The other option would be to do it wireless.

Answer 2

you could just poke a hole and run the UTP. If you want it to look nice, buy two wall plates, two cat5 keystone jacks, two low voltage wall rings. Cut a hole with the drywall saw, install the rings, a short cat5 jumper between the keystone jacks, and then UTP to the router.

Wired is superior to wireless, it is faster than wireless, and I find this important when I transfer tivo files between tivo boxes.
