The previous owners of my house ran two Ethernet cables from the fiber modem to a point near the center of the house, where they enter the wall... and apparently never exit it. (alien.top)

I'm considering clipping the cable where it enters the wall, terminating it, and buying a PoE adapter so that I can see if a single wifi router mounted in that spot will cover the whole house.

Is this a terrible idea? What should I look out for?

Cut with a bit of slack to the wall. So if you find the other ends later, you can terminate all four cut ends and place a switch there.
