Ethernet Question

Hi everyone,

I am fairly new to networking and have a question I am sure is very simple to most people here. I have my desktop in an office upstairs and my router in my living room. I've been having spotty-ish connections over wifi so I wanted to finally get an ethernet connection directly to my router. I realized I can't really do this without running a cable on the floor or ceiling and I am sure my wife would not approve of that. I could always get a range extender but I've had mixed results in the past. I've also seen some PoE devices but I've never tried them out. Are there any other options I am missing or should I simply try and run some long cable upstairs.

Side note is the place where I live does not allow for tampering in the walls etc.

Thank you!
