    You do not need to use a wireless router. Is your ethernet "dock" a router or a switch? if it is a switch, you may need to cycle the power on the cable modem to get an IP address sent to the DVR. Does the DVR say it has an IP address? Does your ISP limit the number of IP addresses you can have?
