Tell me, please, network storage for 2 3.5-inch disks, such that it can do RAID, and that Wi-Fi 802.11n can fit into the same box and be able to distribute cable Internet. I honestly thought it was such an obvious device that it wouldn't be difficult to find it. And it turns out that all decent network storages are produced without Wi-Fi. Among those with Wi-Fi, I do not know a single manufacturer. How to be?

Network storage should not distribute the Internet, it should store your data, distribute the Internet - as already mentioned above, a router is needed.
In principle, you can take a router and connect a usb hard drive to it, but this option is already without a raid, and its performance will not be enough.
Well, or build it yourself on mini-itx with Linux.

Option 2:
0) assemble it yourself
1) take nas + router

As a router with a hard drive, I found only Time Capsule , but for RAID, you can either bundle NAS + Router or assemble a home server, only it will take a decent amount of time to spend on this.

If the raid is not critical and the speed of 300 megabits is fine, then take a zixel kinetic and Samsung Spinpoint Ecogreen (or something else, but I have an ecogreen) + some external usb box (with external power supply) to it.
You can install third-party software there (dlna server, torrent client, sane, apache, php-python-javascript-lua interpreters, and much more).
HD-video (1080p) plays well, although sometimes it turns into a slideshow.
For samsungs, it is better to use minidlna as a dlna server.
Then it will be possible to rewind (with a cross, not with the rewind buttons !!!).

Under your requirements, in one device, and in order to work normally, perhaps only a computer of the appropriate configuration and Linux with the necessary software on board, and then there may be a problem with the number of Ethernet ports.
The second option is two devices, NAS separately WiFi Router separately.
Regarding the obviousness of the device, a separate NAS and a separate WiFi Router are needed by a much larger circle of consumers.
