A question for you though - if i was to move the whole setup into my room, could i then run wired for my rig but have the wireless running for my sister?
The router for me is the room next door. When the ntl guy came and installed the cable modem we got him to drill a whole between the rooms so we could have ethernet cables running through to my PC's and consoles.
I doubt your parents would be too happy about doing that, but you can et really long enet cables, my longest is 30m, do what I have done in my room, lift the edge of the carpet (unless you have laminate), and run the enet cable between the skirting and carpet grips.
Only way I can see you acheiving your goal is to connect wired, even powerline/homeplug adaptors wont be as good as wired.
