Long story short I'm sick of WiFi and it's inconsistent nature. I have a crimper but hate crimping. I have this hole predrilled from Comcast pretty much useless (though I just connected the cable to my tv and it works).  Anyway is all I need a long Ethernet cable, a drillbit, and some silicon? Gotta go through brick and hole will be behind desk

If the holes are drilled large enough to fit the RJ-45 connector then yeah you can run a pre-terminated cable. It'd be recommended to buy outdoor rated cable though so it doesn't breakdown and degrade from the elements.
