how do I get ethernet without running cables through my walls?

I am trying to run ethernet to my PC in my room, but I do not have cable for it running through the walls. I have tried a MoCA adapter but that did not work, and am wondering if there are any other ways to get ethernet to my PC.

    So this is tough. At my old house, my cable internet "source" was around where the living room/TV was which worked for having cable and downstairs WiFi. But I wanted ethernet to my office which was on the second floor and a few rooms over, so I drilled a hole to the outside, ran the cable outside my house up to the attic, then dropped it down from there.

    OTHERWISE, I recommend the Eero whole-home wifi. Got it with the fiber in my new house and when my desktop isn't plugged into ethernet, I get about 50mb/s which should work for online gaming.
