Ethernet -> WiFi. How to connect a network printer to a wireless network?

(I'm a networking nerd) I have
an Epson L550 printer with a network interface but no Wi-Fi support. It is necessary to reduce the number of wires in the apartment, and generally leave the router in the hallway. What can be done for the subject?
If I understand correctly, I need a regular router that supports "bridge" mode. If so, will such a thing work: www.tinydeal.com/ru/b-link-bl-mp02-7-in-1-wireless... ? How cumbersome is it to set up such a device?
If I misunderstood, I'd be happy to hear other options.
Task budget $25. I really want to do without complicated manipulations.
Thank you.

TP-link TL-WA701ND for example in client mode.

or TP-LINK TL-MR3020 ( market.yandex.ru/model.xml?modelid=7879331&hid=723... ). He's smaller. In general, you need an AP in client mode, but it’s already harder to find an AP on sale, so a wifi router.
If the router supports OpenWRT, then you would not need a network interface on the printer either.

There was a similar problem, a Samsung laser printer with a USB interface is far from the computer. Decided with the help of TL-WPS510U. A bit awkward to set up, but does the job.
