I know that I can use a TXRX/Ethernet to Wifi dongle. As far as I understand, this can only be used for wireless data transfer and not for programming the board. Is there any other way I could accomplish this task?

All communications with the sbRIO (e.g. programming, interactive execution, software component installation, data transfer, file transfer etc.) is done through the ethernet port and it doesn't matter how they are connected (e.g. wired/wireless) as long as they are on the same network.
It is not like a microcontroller where you have to connect to a separate programming header and/or JTAG interface or anything like that. The sbRIO runs an OS (either Linux RT or Pharlap/VxWorks) which allows you to do all that through the ethernet port.
