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

Looks pretty straight forward.

I surprised myself by discovering that when I originally installed the
Cat5e I left enough spare cable to allow me to move the socket across the
room without having to join it.

Memo to self - always leave some spare cable!
