I am streaming an event which takes place about 125ft away from the router box. Firstly I am too far away for Wireless, and secondly, by running a wire (Cat 6) from my computer to the router takes about 150ft.

Cat5 cable should be fine for that length. It's easily good for 45 meters. There are other options but if it's a one off the cable is the cheapest route.
