Hi dahisser,
I’d suggest a proper wireless access point plugged into the Ethernet jack. Something like the TP-Link EAP245 (or 225) or similar non-router. Steer clear of the EAP330 (it’s flaky). If you get a small switch like the Netgear GS105 or GS108 you can connect a number of devices (like Roku, PC, etc) in addition and save loading your Wi-Fi network with streaming. Turn off the Wi-Fi on the MR1100, get a decent QC2/3 rapid charger (Anker) and run the MR1100 without the battery installed.
