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
current wall socket or extending the Cat5E wiring under the floor and
moving the socket.

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

Ethernet/dp/B01N37M4KE/?

Looks pretty straight forward.

Yup, they work and are fine at 1 Gbps - I had to use a few here and
there when altering my structured wiring system.

Me too. It wasn't so much alterations as a change of plan. Was originally
going to have a wiring closet in one of the smaller bedrooms, but then
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...

I found I had problems where I had pre-cut cables and made up looms -
then found there was an obstruction under a floor to detour around.
