If there's carpet, you can use a plastic putty knife to tuck it under the baseboard

This. They also make quite flat ethernet cables you can run under a carpet and as long as you stick to the edges of the room no one will notice

I quite literally did this with a regular ethernet cable two days ago. Worked like a charm. I ended up using an automotive trim too which achieved the same as a putty knife.

A roller tool for putting window screens in aluminum windows works well too. It's concave and matches up with the ethernet cable nicely.

Yes, this was the way to run speaker cables and coax back in the day.

Yes - people might be surprised how much space there is beneath trim boards.
