You can run a cable (Cat6 or 7 to give a bit of future proofing), but this can be messy.

You can drill a hole through floor, but again the right place is needed.

A tidier option will be home plugs, but I'm not sure if certian electrical setups will cause issues.

I run a cat 6 cable from my router to a D-link 7 port hub which I connect my kit to.
