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

Yup, they work and are fine at 1 Gbps - I had to use a few here and

Me too. It wasn't so much alterations as a change of plan. Was originally

decided to dedicate a large bedroom as an office for both of us. Some of
my previously laid cables were about a metre too short...
