Call DirecTV to order the upgrade and schedule install. Even if upgrade is free, you pay $99 for wireless video bridge (WVB) as is an owned accessory.
Not only is wired preferred over wireless as more reliable, but an HDDVR gives more capability (2 tuners and 500GB recording space) than a Mini Genie Client (no tuner so steals one from the Genie, goes down if Genie goes down, no recording space of its own), with no difference in monthly cost. Unless you have their new server tower, Genie-2 (HS17), as that forbids everything but Clients being a restrictive setup.
