Have a Humax 'smart' PVR which is cabled internet only - no Wi-Fi. Would
like to use it where there is no RJ45 outlet. Is it possible to buy a
Wi-Fi adaptor to RJ45 rather than USB?

Yes. They sometimes call them 'gaming adaptor' (or did). Many Access
Points can also be configured to do what you want. I used one years
ago to make my Dads old CRT iMac 'wireless'. ;-)

I have a TP-Link WA801ND in front of me that I think is currently
setup as you require (so I can access my mates network across the
road, rather than having to go over there and using better antenna
than typically on a laptop etc).

There is a USB socket on it - but
that says for a keyboard.

And unlikely to have the right drivers etc.

Things that will do that are readily available. We use one in our living room, and another in an upstairs room to connect our non-wifi printer to make it available to every other computer.

TV, DVD, Chromecast and network thingy all plugged into one socket via a remote switch so everything goes off at night.

I have a Netgear AC1200 WiFi Range Extender Model EX6150 right in front of me. Used it when I set up my current computer a few months ago. The wifi card in the PC does not get detected and installed by Windows. So used this device with a short Ethernet cable to get going.
