This USB adapter?

AC600

And instead of plugging it into a device USB port you want to plug it into a USB to Ethernet adapter - correct?

The requirement being something like the following line diagram:

ISP === (coax, DSL, Fiber) ===>[WAN port] TP A1200 modem/router ~~~~ wireless ~~~ to 3 devices:

1 ~~~~ >Wireless to Ethernet adapter ---->[ Ethernet Port] pc

2 ~~~~ >Wireless to Ethernet adapter ---->[ Ethernet Port] 3D printer

3 ~~~~ >Wireless to Ethernet adapter ---->[Ethernet Port] cctv


Feel free to edit and correct my line diagram.

You should not need another modem, router, or modem/router as I understand the posted requirements.

You may need some other adapters.

For example:

USB to RJ45

However, the starting point is to ensure that the required connectivity is understood.

Details matter.
