You can link the Raspberry Pi 3 to your existing Wi-Fi network using its built-in Wi-Fi adapter. This way you won’t need an Ethernet cable and keep your setup clean.

Yes there is, you need to set up a DCHP server on your Pi. This will let you share the Pi's WiFi via Ethernet. I found a couple tutorials for this, but haven't been able to really get into it as much as I'd like: https://www.beyondtechnicallycorrect.com...-xbox-360/ This guide is for Xbox 360, but all the technical stuff is done on the Pi. It still works the same way as if your intended sharing device was a PC. http://www.noveldevices.co.uk/rp-dhcp-server

The simplest and most dependable option is purchasing a Wi-Fi adapter. You can find PCIe Express cards or USB adapters, which are affordable starting around $10 USD. For better performance, consider a ~$20 PCIe card instead of cheaper USB dongles. https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLi...fi+adapter https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_...fi+adapter

I’m receiving an item via mail, but it will require a few weeks, so I’d prefer not to wait that long.

You might consider directing traffic via an SSH tunnel using ssh -D [PROXY_PORT] -f -C -q -N [USER]@[RASPBERRYPI]. Then configure your device or browser to connect through that tunnel (localhost:[PROXY_PORT]). It could function and only requires a short test.
