Wireless peripheral upgrade tool: A tool that can connect peripheral to wireless modem, allow computer to control peripheral wirelessly.
Wireless cable access point: a block like wired modem block, but needn't cable to connect it. It's different from wireless modem since it can connect to the cable and peripheral, but wireless modem not.
You can mostly mimic this by having a computer connected to the peripheral acting as a wireless proxy for the peripheral and the host machine.
I've experimented with similar ideas in the past (i.e. CCTweaks's wireless bridge), and I'm honestly not thrilled about how this works in practice. I think it ends up trivialising some of the interesting logistical problems that occur when working with long-distance/wireless peripherals.
