You might look into an extender that uses your home's electrical wiring. It consists of at least two components: the first plugs into a wall jack to which your router is then connected. The second plugs into a wall jack in the room where your computer is located, which then in turn is connected to this jack.

By the way, the last time I checked, Best Buy had a restocking charge on computers, TV's and related components. If you are contemplating returning an item, check before you buy.
