My main challenge is that we don't have wired ethernet access in our rooms so even if I bought a mini-NAS and attached it to the router over ethernet, all "clients" will be accessing it over wifi.

Not sure if anyone else has dealt with this and/or how this setup works over wifi.

Do you have a coax drop in the room? MoCA adapters are a decent compromise - not as good as an ethernet connection, but better than wireless.

Thanks, I didn't know about MoCA adapters, will investigate further.

There is also power line Ethernet adapters that are well above 300mbps. Even if that's the nameplate speed on your wifi router, you won't have as much fluctuation on the power line. But both adapters need to be on the same breaker
