To be honest I'm not sure if I'm even asking the correct question, but here's my situation.

I'll be moving to a new apartment with new roommates in a few weeks and the room I'm taking over does not have an ethernet port. They have dule band wireless throughout the apartment, which is fine, except I occasionally work from home and have one of those cisco/avaya phones that plugs with an ethernet cable to a router.

Their router is way on the other side of the apartment and, rather than being rude and runing a 50ft cat 9 and having everyone trip over it and make me look like a crazy person, I was wondering if there was another solution.

Would it be possible to set up my own wireless router in my room and have it act like as a daisy chain, then plug my spaceship phone into that. Is that something that would work? Or is there another solution I have overlooked?

I'd greatly appreciate any help. Thanks in advanced!

Got it. Wireless Access Port. This is exactly what I need. Thank you! Any particular recommendations?

As my house is almost 100% wired, I have no recommendations on a specific product. But if I was looking to get one, the one I linked would be on the short list.
 
fyi: Ethernet over powerline works very well for this. you would run a cable from shared router's Ethernet port to you powerline device which will connect to your second Ethernet powerline device in your room. you should get a much faster/clean connection
