I used a Linksys WGA54G gaming adaptor, It's really easy to do the instructions inside the router explain how to do it. Basically what you do is disconnect your current wireless router from your PC, then you hook the pc up to the gaming adaptor and enter your wep key and it automatically sets everything else up for you. Then you unhook the gaming adaptor from the pc and hook it to the TV, now you have the ability to stream music, videos pictures wirelessly. It basically fools the TV into thinking it's connected to w wired hook up.

Quick question to all the video streamers: What resolution videos can you stream? 480, 720, 1080?Can a 802.11 Draft N router be used to stream 720p or 1080p videos? I have a camcorder that records 1080p video and I'd like to stream it wirelessly to my TV from my PC that stores all the videos.Thanks,

No you can't use any other dongle then the one samsung is releasing. What you can do is have a wireless bridge which works great, thats what I have on my 750 right now and I can stream videos, music and pictures as well as the news sports and stocks.

Thanks for your post on this discussion regarding wireless connection for this TV. I still have a few questions.When you unhook your gaming adaptor and connect it to TV, you still need to connect your wireless router back to PC. So in that case, will this trick work using two regular wireless routers, one connected to PC and on to TV (after the wep key step)? I am not into gaming, so I don't want to spend a lot on the gmaing adaptor.

6003 and 6000 both dont come with wifi adapter. Other difference being lesser USB ports - 2 on 6003 and 3 on 6000 and no optical audio and ethernet ports on the 6003 variant. Contrast ratio is 4,000,000 on 6003 and 5,000,000 on 6000. un46d6050 is same as 6000 except that it comes with wifi adapter and has a contrast ratio of 4,500,000. Best part is it comes at same price as un46d6000 - currently 899$ from Sams!

It got to be LG brand. The USB wireless drive has its firmware built-in and its compatible with some certain models LG brand only. I've got LG LED-TV model LE5400 and had tried with some different USB wireless brands like Linksys and Netgear which I have around the house (and borrowing from a friend =), but they were not recognized with my TV. That gave me no other choices but to get LG AN-WF100 wireless, and it works. Its a bit of a pain to pay for a 50 bucks wireless adaptor too expensive comparing to other brands.

Not by itself, you will need to buy a wireless network adapter. You can find one for 20 or 30 bucks on amazon, or a walmart, or staples. Just plug it into the usb drive and your all set. I am currently using a Lynksys AE2500.

All You need to do is plug Usb to Ethernet adapter in your hub. MK 808 will recognize it and install driver. It may take 5 min for that to happen. Also in setup you need to enable Ethernet and disable WiFi. I Got mine here on Amazon It is Aluratek USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter model AUE0201F. $26.95. Box worked good with it, but I wanted it for my bedroom and there is not hard wire connection in there.To install it it would cost 5 times the price of MK808. I am getting BlueRay player with built in smart app's and WiFi instead. I hope this help's! Good Luck!

It requires the wifi adapter, it's a $70 add-on. I did a review on it, it's pretty much requires.

Type in wireless LAN on amazon and buy either the Samsung or any really. It's a USB plug- in also you can use an Ethernet wire. Xbox I don't know.

The WIS12ABGNX adapter will work. It is the updated version of the "09" adapter. The 09 adapter is older technology for wireless networks. It is slower. The 12 is newer faster and more up to date. I have a BD-C5900 that also states it requires the 09 adapter and I bought the 12 and it works great.

Check the manual, you can download it in PDF format online for free, without registration; it lists all the compatible wireless adapters. Then you can find an used one for a low price on eBay.

I was running firmware 1025 and decided to try my USB wifi adapter that I have for my rasbery pi and it worked. I even updated the firmware to 1032 and it still works. It's a cheap $15 or less wifi dual band adapter.Tenda W522U USB wifi A/B/G and N, I confirmed it does connect on N also.The only downside is the bluray firmware does not include the drivers for the 5Ghz so this only will connect on the 2.4ghz but it's still cheaper than the Samsung linkstick USB wifi adapter.

I'm using mine on a PC, and although the product description now says "SamSung WIS12ABGNX" (I don't recall if it did when I bought it), there may be more to using it on a TV mere hardware compatibility. There can be driver issues. A quick google finds this site talking about using non-samsung adapters on samsung tvs. http://wiki.samygo.tv/index.php5/Using_NoN-Samsung_USB_WiFi_dongles_with_TV So it's probably a crap shoot on whether its plug-and-play. Do you feel lucky?

A Laptone Wireless USB Adapter Network WiFi N 150 Mbps Dongle for Windows 8 / Win 7 / Xp / Vista would work just fine

you have the AIR then?well then you don´t need any WLAN usb stick because it has the chip onto the board. you just need a router and connect it to your network.edit: remember this is a "forum" for the R1, not the AIR. one important difference between the R1 and the AIR version is that the R1 doesnt have the wireless option built in. the AIR version does.what many people did was what I told you in the first post. the owners of the AIR version dont have to worry about how to enable to connect wirelessly, it already has it!

TP-LINK TL-WN722N Wireless N150 High Gain USB Adapter, ($15.99) @ Amazon. Works far better than the tiny $25 one that Onkyo would like to sell you.

WiFi adapters come either preinstalled in the system and all you need to do is attach a small radio antenna to the back (included) or connect the USB dongle included in the box to the back of your computer. That will enable you to have and connect to any WiFi network within range. The drivers for the WiFi adapters are already installed. In your case, all you need is plug in the USB adapter, access your wireless router using the passcode that is set on it and you're good!
