I'm a renter - I've learned to get ethernet all sorts of fun places without taking the hassle or expense of running cables through walls and under floors.
Step 1 - What you need:#
Buy 100 ft. of flat, white, Cat 6 cable - something like this will do.
You'll also want some white gaffer tape. Be SURE you get gaffer tape, and not duct tape. It's just strong enough to string up cable, and won't peel paint. Something like this.
Pour yourself a glass of lemonade. We'll come back to this later.
Step 2 - What to do:#
Here's where you get to be creative.
Find the crown moulding where the walls meets the ceilings and floors of your house. The little creases are perfect for disguising that thin white cable. I have hundreds of feet of ethernet going all over my house, and it's practically invisible. If you don't have crown moulding, improvise. Match the tape to your paint colors on your walls. Take your time, measure twice, and an extra pair of hands is always helpful. Be sure to be gentle with Cat6, especially with sharp bends and corners.
You also might want a couple ethernet switches on either end, depending on what your needs are. I've had good luck with TP-Link switches, they're fairly affordable, but people don't seem to like them very much around here.
Step 3 - Drink that glass of lemonade from earlier.
'Cause you're done, baby. Enjoy your gigabit LAN.
P.S. If you've got any more questions or whatever, shoot me a message. This sub is a VERY helpful resource, too.
Thanks for mentioning gaffers tape. What kind of gaffers tape did you use? I don't know much about tapes and 3D printing. Would this work?

>...They are up against white trim...any temporary-ish solutions on sticking the cable to the door trim?

White colored gaffer's tape. If you aren't familiar with the product, it's basically duct tape, but does NOT leave behind sticky residue when you remove it.
color matching for now, easy removal and clean up later

It feels more like a fabric, so it won't shine like duct tape would. Also, gaffer's tape is stronger than masking tape, but shouldn't leave residue like duct tape might.
