EDIT: As mentioned above, a powerline adapter could be a good solution in certain houses and wiring systems - but it does heavily depend on the wiring in your apartment/house.
I don't have the phone line running in the main living area, so guessing that puts the kabosh on the powerline adaptor.

You don't need it -- someone correct me if i am doing this wrong but the set up is as follows for powerline:
1. purchase the extender (it is 2 pieces)
2. plug piece 1 in to your router with an ethernet cable and plug piece 1 into the plug in the wall
3. plug piece 2 in the wall in the room you want
4. connect to wifi
the electrical wires act as an ethernet cable connecting between the two. The way it was described to me is that the power runs on a different frequency over the electric line and it doesn't interfere with anything.
These do NOT work if your house runs on two or more grids -- meaning it only works on one grid in the house.
