I have an IPTV box with a RJ-45 network connection. However, my wireless router is too far away to be plugged in. Is there something I can use to connect my IPTV box wirelessly?

Thanks,
SC

You need a wireless bridge like a Linksys WET54G. Or get a router that can be loaded with DD-WRT firmware and converted to a wireless bridge.

Thanks Grumpy,
How would the set-up work? Configure the wireless bridge and then plug it directly into the IPTV box? Also, is this set-up fast enough to carry a tv signal?

Thanks,
SC

Yes, that's how you would set it up. I don't know what speed a TV signal requires. If you had a strong wireless signal, the router and bridge should communicate at 54 Mbs.
