Nice picture. RJ45 is just a kind of connector.
I'd do it the standard way. Put a router (maybe a switch suffices, you can disable the wireless part anyway) where the "RJ45" is in your picture and connect/configure the existing router as a WAP.

Hi!
I have 2 PCs in different rooms. I was wondering if connecting PC1 to a router then the RJ45 then back to the modem as well as PC 2 directly to the RJ45 would work... or if there is another solution I need. (See image)
Aside from the fact this would make cabling easier, my roommate needs to constantly reset the router (laptop keeps loosing connection for some reason) and I don't the rest of the net to suddenly go down every time the router is being reset... thus bypassing the router on PC 2.
