You just need a wireless bridge. This one is pretty nice: http://amzn.com/B0056VP0KS
IMO you're best off just getting a wireless bridge - if you want to go all posh and name-brand then there's a 4-port Linksys for $50 on Amazon, but I'm seeing no-name single-port port ones for half that, or less, on eBay.
EDIT: in fact, here is a semi-reputable brand 4-port for $25 from Amazon.
>So I've been trying to ask whether this means that they won't put the cable modem in one room, and the HD DVR in a different room. If this is the case, then the installation offer won't solve my needs. I have a hardwired network printer that requires that it be physically plugged in to the Ethernet hub, and this is in a different room than the TV.
You just need to buy a wireless bridge, and place it near whatever devices need to be physically plugged in. The bridge will communicate with your modem/router (wirelessly) and allow whatever is connected to it to communicate with the interent.
This is an example of a bridge.
What you need to do is a bridge connection.
If im correct your PS4 should be able to see the internet and get the IP address.

I have Windows 8.1, not 7. But I did all that, and they seem to have bridged successfully, but it's still saying it's not obtaining an IP address. :/ Any idea if I need to do something else? I turned off ICS because it said I had to do the bridging.

it seems windows 8/10 has a problem with doing this thou...
Windows 10 has a (mobile hotspot button) click that it allows you to create a "wifi bridge" with the network you have.
Example I steal wifi from the hotel comcast behind me, connected via wifi it sucks.. like 500kbps if im lucky. and my internal wifi on my laptop tops at like 10mpbs with an extrenal card it goes up to 25mpbs
Using windows 10 "wifi hotspot" and an alfa/ethernal wifi adapter for even better range. I then get really nice speeds on my laptop... I then create a wifi hotspot with my own name and password and bam. Decent ps4 wifi speeds :)
You can also use something like a wes610n or a buffalo airstation to create a wired bridge. and have it connect to 4 Ethernet devices.

You get points for MacGyver-ing together working solutions, but are you here are some better and "more proper" ways of doing it:
