I had a similar problem with my Slingbox when switching from UVerse with a wireless cable box to Comcast where the wired box was put in the living room, but the internet modem was in the bedroom. I now had no place to connect the Slingbox to the internet after plugging into the Comcast cable box.
I bought a NetGear wifi extender with LAN port and joined it to my Comcast wifi signal - then plugged the Slingbox into the LAN port so it could get online, and voila, problem solved.
I'm not techie enough to know if this would apply in your situation or not, but my example is how a wifi extender could be used.
