Have you considered doing something lo-tech, like say, run a phone line to
your office, and have both voice and data in there? If like most apartments,
and you cant make perm changes, Found stuff at an office store that looked
like clear tape (1/2" wide 1/32" thick, self stick and ran it on the
baseboards to my spare room). Or my friend went with a medium tech way, a
powerline ethernet bridge (under $100 for up to 85 Mbps,

they have cheaper ones that are slower and more expensive that are faster,
but these are IMO just right ((faster than wireless and not too
expensive))... and then in his spare room/office end, he has it hooked to a
linksys wrt54g ($48 at walmart), so he has both wired and wireless. Wish I
would have known of that option before I messed with the wire.
Unfortunately, from past annoyances, being in an apartment and having no
control over what the neighbors can do to screw my wireless up (baby
monitors, microwaves, etc), so if you can figger out an alternate way, you
may enjoy it more.
