RJ-45 to WiFi

Hello!

Recently I took a router (Netgear 3500L, ASUS WL-520GC used to hang). I decided to rearrange the house and remove all the wires, hang the router somewhere at the entrance in the closet and forget about it. The following devices are available:
- Lenovo Y550 laptop (built-in Wi-Fi (pulls only G))
- home PC (no Wi-Fi adapters at all)
- Canon MF 5770 printer (network version)
- Samsung 6-series TV set with RJ-out 45 (can play video via DLNA) (in the future I want to install something like WD Live)
- (I plan to install a NAS, but it will apparently be hooked up to the router via RJ-45 and lie in the same cabinet)

Everything is with a laptop and a PC understandable (you can take 802.11 N adapters). With a printer and a media player, I can’t figure out what to do.
Is there any wi-fi adapter (I'll have to take two) with an RJ-45 input for this task (or is it better to take a wi-fi print server and hook up a printer via USB)?

And if anyone used such a router, tell me, please, will he understand all this? (after all, all devices will only use wi-fi)

For some reason, I always thought that it is most logical to connect stationary equipment (desktop computers, TVs, printers, etc.) with a wire, and leave wireless communication for moving equipment (laptops, netbooks, communicators, etc.) ...

A regular access point is a wi-fi adapter with an RJ-45 input.

Despite the abundance of features, Netgear 3500L has quite a few complaints about poor performance. Some try to update or set the MTU to 1400 - but this does not always help. If you need a productive router, it's better to change it if it's not too late. Especially considering how much you want to hang on it. see www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-reviews/31164-lots-more-features-lots-less-performance-netgear-wnr3500l-with-dd-wrt-reviewed

As the owner of a 3500L with a tomato usb (the default firmware works faster, but there are fewer settings), I responsibly declare:
The performance is on top, it works smartly, there are no problems at all. Web muzzle does not hang.
Wi-Fi, according to Windows, in the entire apartment catches five sticks, about ~ 9-10mb / s.
For a home typewriter, it works for five. I wonder where a lot of complaints come from, I did not find it before buying.
Torrents fly over local, the Internet and the web do not blame the face, I’m probably doing something wrong ...

WDTV Live can only work with the list of compatible Wi-Fi adapters.
The list is here: wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=3805
I took this for myself: ASUS Wireless USB adapter USB-N10 Rev 0200
