I have a LAN connection in my apartment building. My LAN plugin is in the livingroom, but I want the internet in my office in the back of the house. Is it possible to hook up the D-Link DI-614+ Wireless Router to the LAN plugin in the living room, and then install the D-Link DWL-520+ Wireless PCI adapter into my desktop computer in the other room, and get internet access? I bought both on a recommendation from the store (Fry's), thinking I could do this setup, but neither manuals speak of this being an option.

Yes. But we need more information to help. assuming you have another router connecting to the inter, you should assign the ip range and same dns on the wireless WAN port. The wireless router LAN uses different ip range.

I hope I'm making sense. I'm on a system where I give my MAC address to the apartment manager, and then he adds internet to my apartment. (FYI-I have ZoneAlarm blocking unwanted problems.)

Can I just plug a Wireless router into the wall plugin, and then install the Wireless PCI adapter into my one and only computer in the other room and make it work that way? I'm really trying to avoid the long cable running from my living room to the back office.

Make Sense?

You will have to give the MAC address of the wireless router.

or if you have already given the mac address of your desktop computer, go into the router setup from your desktop and find the button "Clone MAC Address" click it, save changes and restart the router

And the router will not be wired to the PC? Right? That's what I'm getting at. It's allright for the Router to be connected only to the wall outlet, and the computer in the other room has the wireless PCI adapter. That's all I need to do? Register both Mac Addresses?
