    Basically I'm saying, keep your existing router, and use methods of extending the distance of your current network, it's really the only reliable way to get the job done.

    Don't try extending the range of your current router by using a long rj-45 cable from your phone line to your router, the quality of signal degrades very quickly like this.

    Instead, either a repeater, which will extend the range of your existing wireless network. It picks up the signal within the existing range of your wifi and pushes it even further.

    Alternately and more reliably, as I stated, a long shielded Ethernet cable like this one:

    Plugged into an additional router on your studio side of things would be best but a pain in the arse if you don't like holes in your walls.

    You could at the very least get some of those plastic caps they use in offices to feed cables through walls and keep it looking tidy still.
