Zwave lock pairing best practices

Schlage is very picky in this. The Schlage models typically have to be paired in place. Which, yes, means running the ethernet cable.

See the FAQ:

If you have multiple doors, and one door is close to the hub, one option with some locks is just to keep swapping out the Z wave modules and always do the initial programming in the lock that’s physically closest to the hub. This is easy to do with the Yale module, I honestly don’t know if it works with Schlage or not.
