   My situation is similar.  I use wire to connect my main pc and stuff.   
   My roku tv uses wi-fi and sits in my living room far away from the   
   router.  The tv is not 'smart', and I started wanting to surf the net   
   using the tv as a display.  So I last month I built a pc intending to   
   use wi-fi to connect to the net.  I run an HDMI cable from the pc to   
   the tv.   
      
   I've had no reason to get very familiar with wi-fi before now, so it's   
   completely new to me.  The tv has wi-fi capability built in, and it   
   worked as expected from day one.
