I hope you can solve your problems with the router, as that's clearly the easiest solution to your problem if it's possible. That said, it's not very difficult to add additional wall outlets to a room. If you're not capable of doing it yourself, it should be a relatively cheap job for an electrician and might be something worth considering if it's causing you problems. You can really keep the cost down if you just have the electrician install the outlets and then do the drywall repair yourself. If you don't mind some painting and sanding, it's actually pretty easy (and cheap) to run ethernet and coax around your house as well. If you're going to be in that house for a while and cabling is causing problems, I'd highly recommend simply fixing that problem by running a few new wires and installing new outlets.
