If you don't need WIFI because you are too close to another satellite or router, is it possible to run a network cable to the area where you have these wired devices? If so run a cable and get a 5 port Netgear switch to connect your devices to.

But it is definitly something I am considering in the long run, notably for the added stability it provides.
Kind regards
