You have a couple of other options.
1. Wireless Access Point - this connects via a hardwire connection to give an additonal access point. We use a TP-Link TL-WA601G to add an additional wireless networks when my son's friends come over for an allnight gaming session (like 10 kids).
2. Ethernet over Power - these things plug into a power point near your router, then plug into the same power circuit somewhere else - then you get a ethernet connection. You can use this in conjunction with the access point.
3. Wireless bridge - a lot of routers have the capability of extending the range of existing wireless networks.
We tried quite a few of them when setting up our home wireless network, but in the end, we had to replace our cable modem and ended up with a wireless enabled cable modem but this was in the wrong position since it had to connect to the cable. So we now use a Wireless N Gigabit Router - TP-Link TL-WR1043ND directly connected in a central location, then this other wireless access point when we want additional connections for guests (to avoid giving them access to our more secured wireless).
