>My router is on the opposite side of the house and one floor lower (2 floor). I'm guessing running the cable up from the ground floor is likely the hardest
Running it between floors is easy. Drill a hole, put cable through.
Running it to the other side of the house is the hard part. It all depends on what's in the floor or walls or whatever ... which way to do the joists go? Do you have access?
Do you have an unfinished attic or unfinished basement you can get the wire to, to make it easier to go across the house?
Or consider going outside with it.

There's not any "magic" to it. Figure out the easiest path.

Be sure to buy ethernet cable that's rated for in-wall use, and if you decide to run it outside or in an air vent or something, it'll also have to be rated for outdoors or plenum applications.
