Take a look at you low voltage box, you may find that you already have cat 5 (ethernet) cable installed, that is what they used in out house for the telephones. So if you are NOT using the hardwired phones (ours are wireless), then all you need is someone to change the RY-11 to RJ-45 connectors, ans connect the wires correctly. You can have a patch panel installed in the low voltage box, and if you do not want or need a router, then use a straight through cable to patch the 2 room together.
