You will need a router if you are connecting to the DVR box and to a PC/laptop. Just run an ethernet cable from your router into the Directv set top box.

If your router is in another room, you can get wireless ethernet adapters. It's easy.

After setting it up, you need to go into the menu and set up the connection in the "parental fav's and setup" tab. I've been professionally installing home theater equipment for years, and I install DirecTV boxes all the time.
