Access TV widgets via FIOS?

Internet service: FIOS triple-play bundle; all features working normally

TV: LG LD550 TV

DVR box: Motorola 7232

Router: Westell UltraLine Series3 A90-9100EM15-10

Trying to set up network to access the TV's built-in streaming services (Vudu, YouTube, etc.). Is there a way to do this via the FIOS network? Simply running an ethernet cable from TV to DVR gets a message that DHCP may not be set in gateway, whatever that means.

FIOS boxes do not support IP pass through.

So to connect TV either need wifi or a way to connect etherent to a switch/router.

So basically I need a wifi adapter like this one so the TV can acess the wifi network created by the FIOS setup, right?
