how can I connect my channel master dvr to wifi using my WNDA3100 (wireless-n dual band)?

JUST GOT A CHANNEL MASTER DVR AND HAVE AN OLD WIRELESS ADAPTER. CAN I USE THE 3100V2 TO GET WIRELESS INTERNET TO MY DVR? IF SO HOW?

    Hi eberpit,

     

    The adapter will only work with computers and will not work with other devices. If your DVR has ethernet port, try checking the WNCE3001 or WNCE4004.

      I have the same question except my USB adapter is from Channel Master for their DVR. I have a WNR2000v2.

      The DVR shows it sees the router but cannot connect ( this is all done via the TV screen). The DVR will connect via cable.

       

      I have tried auto connect, manual connect, have line of site to the router from the adapter, I added the MAC address from the adapter to the Wireless card accest list. I have researched for answers online and in this forum. I have done everything I think I could find with the exception of the use of a sledgehammer.

       

      Any help would be very much appriciated.

       

      I am using a Mac computer for access
