Wireless?

Actually, you can pick up a few low voltage wiring boxes that will take
snap in jacks. I've found those are quite easy to wire with the simple
punch down tool they provide.  Just line up the individual wires and
push them in the slot.

This also makes the wiring look a lot neater than a whole in the wall
with a wire coming out.
