Rolling back to the previous version (and removing 'thanks' fluff). Solutions belong in answers, not edits to the question. I moved OP's solution update to its own Community Wiki (since OP hasn't been seen in over a year) answer located at https://diy.stackexchange.com/questions/211307/

Wires run free in wall space and may be fastened somewhere to studs. Also it usually not straight run. My opinion for best solution is Ethernet over Power line. | |

| Dec 15, 2020 at 20:39 | comment | added | Darrel Hoffman | Not an answer to your question, but since the house is already wired up, if you know where both ends of every wire are, you might be able to use the existing CAT3 to pull some CAT6 or other through the same paths just by tying them end-to-end. A nice duct-tape wrap might be the best way to make the join slim enough to fit through most gaps. Easier if you have access to the space above the ceilings (or below the floor in some cases) to pull it through. | |
