What platform does the DVR run on i.e Windows? If so, maybe just get a conventional USB WiFi dongle, and connect it to your existing WiFi WLAN

Otherwise, you can use a wireless bridge device to transfer from wired ethernet to wireless ethernet at the DVR end, to get it onto the WLAN, using the bridge element of the kit here: http://dlink.co.uk/cs/Satellite?c=Product_C&childpagename=DLinkEurope-GB%2FDLProductCarouselMultiple&cid=1197390042749&p=1197318962342&packedargs=ParentPageID%3D1197318962321%26TopLevelPageProduct%3DConsumer%26locale%3D1195806691854%26packedargs%3DProductParentID%253D1195808621247&pagename=DLinkEurope-GB%2FDLWrapper
