I had my Tivo Mini in a room upstairs from my Roamio Pro and actually had run a CAT6 cable over to it temporarily from my main router with the intention of running a permanent wire above in the attic at some point.
Anyway, I bought a new LinkSys Router and purchased their WiFi Range extender (RE700). Granted, this thing cost more than the Tivo Mini, so don't get too fired up, but when I got it I noticed it had an RJ45 Ethernet Jack on the thing.

So, I decided to put the extender in the room with the Tivo Mini, and direct wired the Mini to this port. Guess what, it works great!
Netflix, MLB, Hulu, Amazon, Tivo Cable, everything comes through fine.
So I figured I'd just let you all know. If this is something everyone already knows, well, sorry. But it does work. It's not the cheapest alternative, but it's wireless and it works.
Now what I do not understand is if a Roku can work wirelessly, if a TV can connect wirelessly for Netflix, etc, then why can't they make a Tivo Mini that's WiFi? In this day and age, it seens totally behind the times.
Hopefully the next Mini will be WiFi capable.
