Help setting up second router/wireless access point

My office is an extension to the main house, sharing neither a floor nor a ceiling. I figure if I drill down and sideways I might be able to get under the main houses floor though.

Well; if you can get under your house; just remember to protect the cables, as animals may chew on them.
But if you are having a hard time with that, your other bet, would be through the walls, sure it may be messy at first, and you may need to replace the plasterboard's you cut, but it all looks alot neater in the end.. good luck dude.

Going through the skirting to under the house turns out to be pretty easy. I have a guy coming to install wall plates for me in the next week or so, and to run all the cable. All I have to decide is the network topology - ie the best, easiest way to run cables to multiple rooms, keeping it looking nice and working well without having to have a patch panel.

you can get a wall plate with 6x RJ-45 sockets... how many do you need?

I'd rather have none, they're ugly! I'll probably go with four in the office as the source, two in the lounge, one in the hallway, and one spare. I'm just not sure what pattern i'll use, with the router behind the sofa in my office feeding everything directly, or just one feed from here and a switch elsewhere.
