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.) ...
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 ...
