Specialized Wi-Fi router designed to connect devices across gaps.
The new place has a quirky network setup—Wi-Fi covers the whole building but Ethernet is required for your server. You could use a router, switch it to bridging mode, and link it to your server with an Ethernet cable. Look for a device that supports Wi-Fi 6, as it would likely improve file transfers to the NAS speedily.
Are there any unused PCIe or Ethernet connections available on the server? If yes, it would be fine to use a Wi-Fi card instead. For a more advanced approach, search for devices that support open DD-WRT, which can help set up a bridging solution compatible with consumer equipment.
