Creating a wired network from a secondary phone socket?

hey all

Basically we have our main Belkin G+ wireless connected to the primary telephone socket in the living room and have the family pc and this (my desktop in my room) connected using wireless dongles.

I've been doing a lot of online gaming (primarily BF2142) and until now it's been okish (I get "There is a problem with your connection a lot" but I'm now use to it :() butthe only way around it is to run a long ethernet lead through my house to the router which you can guess is really annoying and since i want to play more competitively isn't ideal.

So i was wondering since our spare room (next to mine) has a telephone socket could i purchase just a modem router and create effectively a single computer wired network using the same internet connections? But using a secondary phone socket (i.e not the main one in our living room)? without any issues

Hope this makes some kind of sense.

Sorry for the delay and thank you for the information.

Basically the spare socket I believe is just and extension of our main one which I'm guessing rules out the second ADSl modem :(

I hadn't thought about power line adapter however i'll have a look at them brilliant thank you.

With regard to moving the router does it not matter if it's on the primary socket or not then? when we bought it we were told it had to go on the main one because like Wij said the extension could cause issues?
