Are you sure there's no way to run a wire? An ethernet cable is 0.25" in diameter.
You could try powerline networking - you have to plug both the router and the TV into power - be aware however, that powerline networking (like wireless) does not guarantee a useable connection - as a wired connection does.
And yes - I am serious about running a wire - it's not that difficult - and I just ran 50' of CAT6 from a TV on one side of the house to my router on the opposite side of the house and one floor down.
