Fibre connection from rear of property; router tv pc HIVE etc 2 rooms away

[Khamzin]

Need to swap from superfast to ultrafast fibre broadband. Fibre connectivity from telegraph pole at rear of property. Router (with ethernet cabled connection required to Sky Q box and HIVE heating control) is currently 2 rooms and a hallway away from most likely position of ONT.  (roughly 30 feet /10 metres).

1.  can the router work this far away from ONT  

2. Will I need to have cabling installed from ONT to router? 

3. OR  would a CAT6 RJ45 work for the distance?  (no idea how I will get this across the hallway other than under the carpet - not ideal).  Thanks for any help and advice.

@KhamzinThe CAT6 cable that you intend to use can be up to 100m or 328ft, so if you want to change the position of the router from the ONT you can do so.

The ONT must be connected to the router over ethernet cable: this can be considerably longer than the one supplied, but you'd need to source it yourself. Cat5e is fine.
