The OP can simply substitute his printer for the computer in this example.

The printer _is_ a computer, nospam, even as you don't realize that it is.

The OP already mentioned he had a spare router already handy by the way.

What part of this simple equation do you _not_ understand, nospam?

I realize I'm dealing with a Mac group, which means I need to even further
dumb down the technical content of this suggestion, but I hope at least the
OP owns the basic adult cognitive skills necessary to understand the
resources I pointed the OP to have solved his problem _many_ times over.

If this was an Android newsgroup, they'd already _know_ all this stuff.

The printer has an Ethernet port which means the printer can be attached to
an inexpensive transceiver which can transmit/receive for _miles_ nospam.

The fact his router is not that far doesn't change that basic equation.

At the risk of having to dumb this suggestion down to the very barest of
bones for you Mac users, the computer connects to the router which connects
to the printer, all of which can easily be done wirelessly (as long as the
printer has a working Ethernet port, which the OP said it has).
