Can't comment on the WiFi but you could always use those powerline adapter things if the box isn't close to your router

Therefore you may have to use a dongle with a specific compatible chipset to stand any chance of it working. If you are really unlucky the manufacturers make their own dongle and force you to use that, often at a price premium compared to the dongles you can buy for computer use. If the PVR has an ethernet port you might be able to use a wireless adapter that connects via ethernet. The PVR won't know it is talking to a WiFi adapter so you will likely have to configure the adapter to connect to your WiFi network by plugging into a computer initially. |

Yes, what you would need is a wireless bridge (around £10-£20). You can get ones with several ports so that you can connect multiple devices if you wish. If WiFi signal strength is going to be an issue, only then would I resort to powerline adapters. If your router has WPS and you get a wireless bridge that supports WPS connection also, it is usually a case of pressing the WPS button on your router and the pairing button on the bridge to get them to automatically link up.

TP-LINK TL-WR702N works fine with the T7650's Ethernet port, just needs initial setup via a PC.
