Im in a similar situation, where i really cant run wire to where i need
it to be, and remain inside the house ( long story, of how the house is
built makes it prohibitively hard ) so I picked up a Vonets AC1200. It
will take your Ethernet device and connect to your WiFi. It does need a
5v power ( comes with a usb cable ).
It also supports a true bridge mode, so you can attach it to a swtich
and 'extend' your network out.
Its a bit pricey but has worked out well for me with having a couple of
machines on the switch.
