Will this router work well with a wired Sony BluRay player, a wired Windows 7 pc and a wireless Windows 8.1 Laptop?

That should work fine. I have a mix of wired and wireless in my setup, and all of them see and talk with each other just fine.

I don't know if the Sony WIFI adapter will stream videos from pc. I would do all the research you can, I tried this device, a Netgear wireless bridge, and even when I ran an Ethernet cable from my router directly to my tv, the tv still wouldn't recognize my network. I would look into a smart DVD player for that. I ended up getting a Samsung to use for Netflix, and it can also play videos, music and share photos through the Windows media center on my pc. I haven't done it, but the options are there on the DVD's home screen. Good luck

Yes it works very good with DSL broadband.I connected my Netgear router with Qwest modem to be used for Roku 3 player.Channels of 1,6, and 11 are commonly recommended as they have no overlapping frequency,however, mine worked best with channel 1 connection with 145 mbps. Connection is very stableand I have had no issue whatsoever since last June.Enjoy your new Netgear router from Amazon.You must change your password from default because your next door neighbor coulduse your router signal and you are getting weaker signal accordingly.

It works perfectly for me. Attached manual will tell you how to setup wirelessly. You need to know the SSID/paraphrase of your modem/router to connect wirelessly. Everything is simple and no need to be tech-savy. I can use the bluray the way it was made and design. My modem/router is within the circumference of the house. Let Wallace email me so I can help him personally at huechenge@yahoo.com.

Yes. Mine works fine, but I had to press the WPS button on my router a few time. Once it connected I can move it to any room I want.

Hey Tammy, yes the router is compatible with Windows 8. I set it up in the house and used my Acer laptop with Windows 8 to connect to the internet, which worked effortlessly. Also, it allowed me to connect to my wireless printer without any problems.

Linksys router's are part of the list of compatible devices. I would call Blurex customer service if your still unsure.

It would probably work. No special software needed. It worked for me with windows 7 before failing after 6 months. I am now using a Trendnet router with W8.1 with no problem. However, I have had a Trendnet unit fail in the past also.

I know it works with my Windows 7 and Vista. No problem connecting with my Belkin router.

No reason why it shouldn't work with Windows 8. But if you haven't already bought it, I would choose a different router. The MyNet N900 has many problems with the WiFi dropping out. I sold mine after only a few months of almost daily problems. I bought an Airport Extreme instead and had no problems at all with it.

Yes, definitely. I own the Asus RT-N66U Dual Band router (often called the "Dark Knight") and this is what I've attached to mine. Stronger WiFi signal strength and much greater range was immediately noticed. Previously, I couldn't effectively use my downstairs Sony Blu-Ray DVD WiFi features before I installed them. With these 3 online, my Living room TV is now a happy streaming movie theater.

Yes it should, it works fine with my PC routers. If it doesn't, just buy a universal router base.

Yes it will. I keep mine wireless however I am running 40 mbs on a N router. If You have just a B/G router it won't perform all that well.

yes. i have a HP pavillion with windows 8.1 an and it works just fine. I've only had the router for about 2 mo. but so far no troubles.

I just plugged the device directly into the router with an Ethernet cable and it seems to do what I want it to do. I purchased a 25 ft. digital Optic cable so I could plug my PC into it to use my media player as a housewide juke box. Other than that, I don't see any reason for going wireless with it.

this router does not support IPv6. If you want to stream video or music via Windows 7 or 8, or use DLNA equipment (PS3, Roku, WiFi Bluray or TV, XBOX) to share media this will not work. I eventually sold my Anker router and bought a D-Link 825-- which works perfect but has some range issues.

Depends on the connections of your DVD player and your router. What brand/model DVD player do you have?
