This seems like it should be simple but i have no networking experience and I have not found any direct answers/guidance thus far. I have access to a wifi source via a kind neighbor (10 bucks a month). I own an AC3200/Archer C3200 router, have a number of wifi audio/visuals (TV, 7.2 stereo, etc.), and would also like for friends to access a hard drive. What I "simply" hoping to do is to route to the various devices, provide an in home network to "guests" who have a password, and have internet access for my own pc (a laptop). I'm open to any suggestion. I also have use of a second laptop if that would be helpful in any kind of "slave" capacity.

the major issue is the reuse of the wifi signal from a single wireless source to be used via ethernet and wifi from my router. During my attempts to make this work I was able to give access to the wired components to a 5T hardrive connected at the router.
