Cat5 cabling needs to be done by an endorsed cabler. Big firms will charge $75 per termination. Half that is reasonable, hopefully you know what you are doing. A 4 port router is OK or you could use a switch.
Don't bother with cat6 cable it is a waste of money.
Really, tell him to get an IT cabling specialist to do it and set up his network.
I'd rather lose (spelling) a customer if it meant not having to spend too much time piss farting around with a network issue with his computers that may or may not be always up to date or running the right service pack or this or the other.
A specialist will be able to give him access to his work computers from home.
Something he would surely appreciate.
From my experience you don't lose customers if you are honest with them. Telling them it is beyond your capacity will let them know you know your limitations.
