Best Options for 150ft internet line

    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.

    Is this the best way for me to connect to the internet. The location I am streaming cannot be accessed from any other router, it must be this one.

    However is a cable the best option? Or is there other tech out there that I can use. Thanks for reading...

    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.
