Yep, straightforward. Bit dull but easy.
Might be more fun to buy a slightly larger drill bit

It is dead easy if you find a decent enough set of instructions and get the order of the wires correct. It will be a neater job if you drill just for the cable also. The rj45 plugs will be pennies so do a couple of practice crimps first to take away the anxiety if you've not done it before.

Ease depends on how much dexterity you have. In my limited experience girls often find it easier, as they tend to have smaller nimbler fingers.
But there is nothing complicated.

A combination PC tech/home DIY question.
In an attempt to actually get wi-fi throughout my house I want to change the location of my router which involves running a cable through the wall.
As I've discovered, an RJ45 jack is slightly bigger than 12mm (my largest drill bit) and won't pull through the wall. Neatest option seems to be to snip the end of the wire off and reattach at the other side. Google suggests I need a crimping tool. Is this easy to do?
