While I have no direct experince with that DVR, it would appear that its USB port is not meant for networking. You may want to consider an Ethernet-to-WiFi adapter such as this one:

I'd be very confident stating that it wouldn't "add a wireless capability" to them. Just like plugging a mouse into that same connector won't give me "mouse capabilities" (they wouldn't make sense on a NAS device -- no "display"!)
You can explore "power line modems/bridges". Think of them as *wired* extension cables that use the wiring in your home to transfer the data.
You might also be able to use a LWAP (light-weight access point) for the same job. (the powerline devices would be more "turn key")
I have only 3 cameras all on wireless, 2 outdoor, 1 indoor. WiFi router and NAS with surveillance station . Router and NAS sit side by side. I am able to remotely access the cameras if needed like while we're on holiday. I am sure wired cameras are much more stable. have only
