Why not look into Powerline adapters? They aren't the fastest compared to the best ethernet or wifi, but a good pair of powerline adapters will give you close to 100mbps depending on how good the wiring in the house is.

I had this problem when setting up an office above the garage and bought an older version of these: [TP Link Powerline Adapters] (https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-AV1000-Powerline-Ethernet-Adapter/dp/B08M13B8B6/) and it worked pretty well. Might save you from dealing with the wires.

Sometimes they work great - in my case they do.

The only problem with powerline is what you mentioned....depends a lot on the existing wiring. Older houses have bigger issues with this than newer ones.

I agree, but it would be something I would try out before I tried buying a fish tape and running a line through an unknown conduit. Worst case it doesn't work and gets returned.
