no harder than running the cable wiring. I circled my room under the baseboards to get the computer located where i wished. The wall jack is in a really inconvenient spot.

However running it back to the other end of the apartment would have been impossible due to the hallway and doors off of each side of it, so wireless was used in the other room.

In summary, each has its place.
