I'm planning to move the main router across the room to a new location.

The obvious options are a patch cable round the skirting board from the

moving the socket.

Any obvious "gotchas" in using a punch down coupler such as

See no reason why that wouldnt work, though for gigabit speeds its
better to run a new cable

Stick RJ45 on each end..

Looks pretty straight forward.
