The faq states that you can use a wireless router for the slingbox.

Yes, you can connect the Slingbox™ to an existing wireless network router(THE SAME WIFI YOUR LAPTOP CONNECTS TO) by using SlingLink™, an Ethernet bridge. In addition, you could connect your Slingbox to a wireless router using a wireless gaming adapter, similar to the method used by gaming consoles for network connectivity. Once connected to the wireless router, your Slingbox experience is now very mobile in and around your house as you could take your laptop into a room that doesn’t have a TV and be streaming your home TV wirelessly to your laptop or compatible mobile phone.
