Alright.... until today this was not going to be an issue....
Dish Network guy came out at my new place and used the existing cable lines for the Dish setup. Typical of companies and expected. However, I only have one cable outlet in my room. So basically we had to put the router/modem in the other room and the guy hooked up a Power Line gadget into the wall from the router to give my 3 HD DVR boxes internet through the power outlets. Alright, nice,... but, nowthe router is across the hall.
So I have a few options:
So I need to know what the best option is, and if it is something where I need to run an Ethernet cable to my room then I need to figure out how to properly cable manage that to make it look nice. The trim on the frames, doors, and woodwork is white so any enclosure devise will be white I would think. Except, again, I will need quite a bit of this stuff to run it from room to room and around the appropriate frames. Probably up the wall, along the ceiling, etc.

So I have a few options:
- Get two wireless N cards for my two desktops and upgrade my router to dual band.
- Get a coax cable, attach it to existing cable, and run it to my room and setup router there.
- Use a 50' Ethernet cable and run it to my room to another router or switch.
