You could try an Ethernet over power device. Some people have great luck with these, and the speed is more then enough for streaming HD to the WD tv, some people don't have such great luck.

This is the first one that came up, but there are lots of options.

All you need is an access point.

 

eta: if you already have another router, you should be able to put it into access point mode.
