Have just changed ISP and received from them a Netgear gateway CG3100. The Internet connection and the gateway is due to this now at the other end of the house, hence I have to use Wi-FI to connect my...
You need a wireless repeater with multiple Ethernet sockets. I doubt you'd be able to find a USB adapter that would work directly connected to the unit, as the drivers for it wouldn't be present on the NAS, and the only way you'd get them installed is via SSH, which is not recommended unless you know what your doing.
The other option would be Powerline (or Powerline AV). I'd go with a Powerline AV500 based setup if you can afford it. There are AV200 kits but since these use the interface of the 10/100Mbps ethernet standard, your only ever going to get 10/100Mbps speed. With AV500, you'll get better speeds than you ever will with wireless, sustained throughput (which also suffers on wireless, at least on the 2.4Ghz band and probably will too on 5Ghz once it becomes more congested), and greatly simplified security setup.
