Sony TV + wireless router or ethernet connection options

Hi all,We're having our new lounge suite delivered tomorrow and can't wait. BUT, it's just occurred to me, that not only does this require me moving the tv onto the opposite wall, but we're now going to have an issue with the Telecom VDSL router and how it's connected to both the TV and blu-ray player.The router has to stay where it is, and so will be hidden from view, and I don't want to have to run network cables all the way around the skirting board and door frame to the tv on the opposite side of the room, or go under the house and cut holes etc.My original plan was to just buy the Sony wireless dongle, but it appears to be out of stock everywhere and no idea when it will be back, so I'm looking at alternative options.After doing some reading, it would appear that my best bet would be to buy some kind of small router or access point which I could connect to the TV through the lan port, and then bridge to my broadband router. Now, if I sound like I know what I'm talking about a little bit, please ignore that, and assume that I don't. Could anyone please give me some ideas on the best way to proceed with this please? Am I on the right track, or so far away I should really retrace my steps and go back to the very start, and perhaps cancel the new lounge suite delivery?Thanks in advance.
