BD390 Doesn't see Wireless N Network: Has anyone had similar problems or have any suggestions on how to resolve the issue?

Wireless-N can be broadcast at 2 frequencies - 2.4ghz (same as B/G) and 5ghz. Most likely your router is set to broadcast at 5ghz and the adapter on the BD390 can only work at 2.4ghz. I had a similar problem - I have a dual-band router that broadcasts at both 2.4 & 5ghz. The SSID for the 2.4 is "NetG" and "NetN" for the 5ghz. My computer and notebook can both see "NetN" but the BD390 (and other Wireless-G devices) can only see the "NetG" network tellilng me that it only operates on the 2.4ghz mode. Your solution is fairly easy. Go into the router settings and under the "Wireless" tab, where you can specify the broadcast frequency. Set it to 2.4ghz and your BD390 will be able to see it fine.

The BD550 is not wireless-compatible right out of the box, but there are adapters available. The TRENDnet TEW-647GA is supposed to be a good one. It plugs into the network port on the BD550. There are USB adapters which can do the same thing for cheaper, but then you can't use the USB port for memory sticks if a network device is plugged into it, so I wouldn't go that route.

Didn't want to pay the extra $100 for the BD390 built-in wifi feature. Bought the BD370 and used an old Linksys wireless router (WRT54G version 2) as an access point. Flashed the Linksys router with Tomato (also could have used DD-WRT) so I could configure it as an access point. This talks to my primary wireless router 60 feet away and runs at 11 mbps. Netflix streaming seems to work fine; picture quality seems like SD (definitely not HD).

Make sure that you know what drivers for the wireless, wired network, video, and sound. Stated three posts ago. They should be on the DVD that comes with the netbook.

Suggest going on the internet to find the manual. (I couldn't find mine.) The word "ready" in "Wi-Fi ready" is a tip-off that you need something else to make it work. I have mine hardwired with a cable.

Hmmm...I have the Air so I have (and did install) the R3 update to that. I don't know that I want to chance bricking the R1, so I'm back to trying a bridge. There's no USB port for the WLAN access point, so I don't know of any other way to bring the signal to the box.Thanks very much for your response.

I currently use this board with PClinuxOS (my main, and preferred OS) and have had no problems with it. I have not used the wireless because I am close enough to my router to use a cable, but it does detect my network so I assume it should work fine. I can't speak to the performance of the onboard video because I use an nvidia card, but it is supported as far as I know.

Jeff, has anyone responded to your question? I have the same situation and would love to add a wireless adapter to my DMP-BD55k but not sure it will work.

This is the 'dn' version which has no wifi and hardwire only... look for the 'dw' version M475DW... that one is wireless.

I also had problems with the BD 390 and the Dir 655 N series. Purchased the new router and could connect the 390 to the network, but could not download streaming video. Reinstalled my old DI 524 G series router and was able to stream from Netflix. Connection with the G series is quirky and sometimes it will not connect, but when it does it will stream in HD mode if available for the movie. I had hoped to improve this with the faster N series, but ended up returning the 655 router. I personally think LG has some firmware bugs that need to be worked out.

I had the same problem. Sent one back and got a replacement... Same problem. Also sent an email to the company about it and got no response. Also if you try and secure the network it doesn't work either. Still haven't been able to do it and I don't recommend anyone buying this product for those reasons.

Any answers on this, by chance? If wifi doesn't work, then I'll just have to stick to my USB hub, external speakers, power and VGA cables! So much for easy portability : 0

I gifted the bd 390 to my brother and he couldn't set it up either with his belkin router. So tried the static IP but that didn't work either. I then moved the bd390 into the dmz (with static IP) n it worked. So just keep in mind that there might be different ways of doing this. Funny thing is that even without these settings it was connecting to services like YouTube, it was only the Netflix app that wouldn't connect.e

Wow, that is a pretty broad question. Did you reset your router/modem (new/old password)? Did wireless get disabled? Did the D2 'forget' your network or password? Hard to say. It is possible the D2's wireless 'broke', but I've had mine for quite a while & the wireless still works fine. If you have one, connect another wireless device to your network in the same spot as you try to connect with the D2. At least that will tell you if it is the network or the device. Make sure wireless is turned on for your network & that the wireless on the D2 is turned on.

Start at page 5 in the network installation guide. READ IT VERY CAREFULLY. You have to know your SSID and wep of your wireless network. I had to go over it several times before I got mine to work. If you didn't receive the network installation guide, try going to the Epson support web site to get it. You might try customer support if all else fails. I've used Epson 610, went through 3 of them within 18 months or less. I'm using a Kodak now, much better printer. GOOD LUCK
