(First off, i'm not really sure if here's the right place to ask abt my problem, so please don't flame me

)
Hey guys, i just got my unifi about 5 hours ago but problems started appearing since then.
The background:
You see, i did not know that unifi service is practically only useful if your desktop and your TV is located in the same area (i.e. close to one another) so that the LAN cable from the modem (provided by unifi) can reach both your desktop and TV at the same time.
If, however, your desktop and TV are not in the same area (i.e. desktop situated upstairs and TV downstairs), you're essentially gonna have to spend some money fixing this problem.
My dad ordered unifi both for the speed (i'm using VIP5) and for the TV channels that comes with the Set-Top Box (STB). I pretty much knew how the setup would be like, and was thinking that i could utilise wireless bridging between my old router (situated downstairs - as my TV is downstairs) and the new router provided by unifi (situated upstairs - since my computer is upstairs) so both routers could connect wirelessly.
The plan was that by using wireless bridging, it would mean the STB would be situated downstairs with a router, receiving signals from the new modem upstairs, which provides internet connection to my computer upstairs.
The problem:
What dawned me hours ago was that the crappy router provided by unifi DOESN'T support wireless bridging!
I went looking through the net and found out that the router provided (D-Link DIR-615) can be flashed with a custom firmware. But upon reading this website "http://unifi.athena.my", the author said that HyppTV will not function with a custom firmware.
So with no more options to choose from, i could only painfully come-up with one final conclusion - Buy a very long LAN cable and do internal wiring from upstairs till downstairs, just for the sake of HyppTV, which was pretty much the reason why my dad applied for unifi.
Any better suggestions anyone? (and sorry for the long post!)
