Check out the SlingLinkTM. It turns any electrical outlet into an Ethernet jack. The product comes as a pair. You plug one into the wall wherever your router is located and use the included Ethernet cable to plug it into one of the ports on the router. Plug the other SlingLink into the wall wherever your Slingbox and video source is located and plug the Ethernet cable into the Slingbox. The SlingLinks create a network connection using the electrical wiring in your home. You can also use a wireless gaming adapter to connect the Slingbox to your router, much in the same way a gaming console is connected to the Internet.
