Adding Wi-Fi Module to NVR and adding wireless camera issues - need help

I have had a Eufy NVR with 8 S4 POE cameras and really like it. I have a couple of places that I can’t get POE to so I just got the Eufy Wi-Fi module and an S4 camera to resolve that.
The box for Wi-Fi module says connect it to the NVR and then wait til the light turns solid blue which I did. Then it says to download the app (I already have that) and then follow the in app instructions to pair it with the NVR and check the signal. No where can I find anything on the app on how to do this. In the add a device home base is listed but nowhere is the wi-fi module listed so I don’t have a clue how to move forward.

I tried just leaving it on assuming it maybe did everything automatically so i then tried to connect the camera. It connects to my wi-fi directly but doesn’t show up on the NVR devices. I don’t understand what the wi-fi module does if the camera is connecting to my wi-fi directly. I don’t see a new network that the wi-fi module might be broadcasting on my iphone.

All I want to do is connect the wireless S4 to my NVR. Seems like it should not be hard but my stupid brain can’t figure it out.

Can anybody out there give me a play by play on how to do this.

Thanks!

I found this setup link, you’ll want to scroll down a little find what you need.

Did you restart the NVR? Ensure your NVR firmware is V1.3.1.8 or above.
Also, log out of the eufy app and close it out completely, remove it from your recents and then log back in.
Let me know how it works out for you..

In case the web link doesn’t work, here’s some screenshots.

The devices all have to be within about a meter for it to work. Once I had iphone with app, the NVR and the WIFI modules close to each other it worked fine.
