well, being in dallas, we have no basements, so the only way to go is up... but in one of the rooms where i have a camera, it is on an interior wall of a 2-story room that has no attic space above it.... it is possible for me to run a wire around the base of the room to the other side, go through the wall to the garage, up into the attic and across the house in the attic, back down into the office where the router is, but it's much easier to just use the wireless bridge for now.
