How to hook up my router, HD receiver, and TV

Hey everyone!
I could really use some advice regarding setting up a wireless connection for our AOL gear. Here’s the situation: we have the router plugged in (it's tucked away on a shelf) on Wall A, but the TV is all the way over on Wall B. A few years back, they installed an HD receiver for us, but they hooked it right up to the TV on Wall B and ran a cable straight back to the router. Honestly, I just can't stand that setup—there's no way to hide the wire in certain spots, and it would probably need to stretch about 30 feet just to loop around the doorway. Tearing into the drywall isn't an option for us right now, so I actually ended up unplugging the HD receiver and putting it away for the time being. On Wall B, we have an analog TV signal, but there's no internet jack, so we can't get the router and the TV on the same side. We're fine watching basic channels without the HD box for now, but we would love to be able to use the recording feature every once in a while.
Is there any way to link the router and the receiver wirelessly, or maybe connect the receiver and the TV without cables? A friend of my mom's mentioned they got their home setup working entirely wirelessly, yet when I called technical support, they insisted it was impossible. I feel like I remember reading something on a forum about some kind of infrared solution ( 🤔 ), but I just can't track down the thread again.

Infrared won't work for that, but you should be able to do something like this.

Thanks! 🙂 I figured there had to be some kind of workaround for this modern era we live in 🙂
Does the receiver plug directly into that adapter? Or do you plug the receiver and the router into their own separate ports (since I see they come as a pair)?

It’s a two-device set that sends the signal through your electrical wiring. One goes by the router and the other by the receiver—setup isn't even that hard.

Thanks so much! 🙂
