Best Net Options?

Hi Guys.

Got a slight problem at the moment with our internet connection. Ill explain.

At one side of the room we have our router connected into a phone line. At the opposite side of the room we have two PC's which me and the missus play games together on. We both use wireless USB dongles to connect to the internet, I have one in my computer and she has one in hers.
When we game together we both get very high latency, especially whilst playing World Of Warcraft.

Now what are my options to eliminate the lagg please?

Would one best option be to get a phone line socket installed under the PCs, and then move the router under the table so that we can both connect a ethernet from each PC directly to the router? Would this eliminate the lagg we are both receiving please?

To be honest we wanted a permanent solution . I did think about running the calbes but it isnt ideal. The distance is a good 25 foot away from one another. :S

Would a new phone socket with the router under the pcs solve the problem?

Well the ping and latenchy when i am only gaming is fine and superb, but as soon as we both connect up thats when it becomes laggy. But on my own its fine?

Just spoke with the missus and the wiring wont do for her. We have laminate too, so not as easy to discard unlike carpet. Otherwise that sounded a cracking plan

So the only solution is for another phone socket?

Yup, its just when were both online and gaming when it really starts to feel the pressure. Im guessing theres too much strain on the connection?
