You might like to consider power line ethernet as an
alternative.

MVP Jack has a good discussion on his website:

Note that if you are willing to do a little learning, you might want to
investigate getting a Linksys WRT54GL or a Buffalo WHR G54S (or a used
Linksys WRT54G v.4 or earlier from eBay or the like) and installing 3rd
party firmware that will unlock a lot of the capability of the hardware
that is unavailable through the stock firmware. For more info, see, e.g.:
