Oh that's a relief. Yeah, it is still illegal to run any sort of wiring yourself, but it seems to be pretty unknown. We're actually going for an even easier option than running it through walls, and running it under the house instead.
Yeah that's pretty much exactly what I'm talking about. They seem like the easiest and neatest option
I ran my first run that way as well, under the house. Still illegal, but you can just claim an electrician did it and you dont know their name. The downside of those wall sockets is you have to drill a fairly large hole to get the RJ45 through, and in my case, it was a fairly long hole as well. Good luck!
