I am streaming an event which takes place about 125ft away from the router box. Firstly I am too far away for Wireless, and secondly, by running a wire (Cat 6) from my computer to the router takes about 150ft.

Is this the best way for me to connect to the internet. The location I am streaming cannot be accessed from any other router, it must be this one.
