Why not just run a cat5e cable to the router via attic access. Also some DVRs have wifi capability if yours does not, then It must be hard wired
repeater/extender to the dvr

You're going to have to run cables for the cameras, why not suck it up and run the cat5 for the ethernet connection? If you can't do that for some reason, there's a lot of wireless "media bridges" these days for $20-$30.
Sorry for so many replies, I get excited when I actually know a lot about something that somebody needs help with lol

Why don't you just look around for a cheap router. A sure bet is a linksys wrt54g. I have two spares and use them often for things. You can load this router with dd-wrt and that's all you need. You can find them on Craigslist all the time for anywhere between $10-20.
The firmware being used would allow you to set this router up as a client bridge. Then just plug your DVR into this router and it connects to your main router.
