Ethernet Bridge For Streaming

I am finally taking my first step into streaming. I am considering the Innous Zen mini Mk 3 Server that requires a wired Ethernet connection. My router is on the other side of the house and I cannot run a cable to my system because my house is on a slab foundation. Running the cable through the attic and down the inside of a wall is not feasible.  

My question, will using a bridge like this work:   https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FIAVYE2/?coliid=I2DGI7TKG2C5PH&colid=22A77MG2FTAN6&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1
If yes, can you please recommend other similar devices that you are using that might be more effective. 
I am not that well versed in the digital world.
Thanks.

I used a similar setup for ethernet for a while, but I've since adopted the Google MESH system.  Router is upstairs.  Roon core runs downstairs on Mac Mini with Ethernet to a microRendu and USB to Ayre Codex DAC.  Roon bridge runs upstairs on an iMac with Ethernet to an Ayre QX-5 Twenty digital hub.  The sound is superb, especially with Qobuz files.

ericsch,

That's correct.  The MESH is a WiFi device that can deliver hardwire Ethernet to an endpoint.
