Compataible Wifi Adapters: Hi Everyone, will any wifi adapter work for this blu ray player or do I need a specific one?

Yes, you have to use the WIS09AGBN adapter. The WIS09AGBNX/XA will not work.

As more blue Ray disks ship, you'll need to update the firmware which means you'll have to buy wireless adapter or you won't be able to view any new releases. I just found that out myself!!!

Unfortunately Panasonic does not make this very clear on the BluRay box. The player, depending on model is "wireless ready" but requires the LAN adapter to connect to your wi-fi as it does not have the required circuitry internally to receive and process the wi-fi signal. My Blu Ray was network ready - if I used an ethernet cable, but required the adapter for wifi. I guess it is way to sell an accessory. This is a throwback to early laptops that required a wifi usb adapter to connect.

Try putting in a USB memory stick and then updating firmware. You could plug another blu ray player in to this device using an optical digital cable. I plugged an Xbox in that way, until throwing the whole thing away and swearing off LG devices in this line. The player is junk and LG washed their hands of it and orphaned it.

I found that the blu ray player has to be connected to the network via wireless. A hard wired connection won't allow the iphone app to work. No idea why, but I tried for a long time to get it to work over a wired connection. Everything showed up on the network just as you are finding. It worked the first time via wireless. I found that out via scanning several forums. Hope this helps.

No and yes... It will depend on how your wifi is set up... With AT& T / NO... Be careful with your choice of cables to connect either your DVR or sound system, etc... I am not an expert in this area so I will have to state it in laymen terms: We had our Blu-Ray Disc installed along with a Bose Sound bar... The guys that were here took the cord (has one male end) and hooked it up.. A pretty good picture. He asked, "May I show you some thing that will improve your pic?" To make a long story short we had to go to a much thicker cable (female end)... The difference in the picture was amazing. This guy explained to me that by going to this other cable it actually brought us up to 1080P... With the other cable we were viewing with much less high def... He was correct. I purchased this particular Blu-Ray to match up with our Sony Hi Def TV... We have been well pleased with the player and the Bose... My wife did not want speakers everywhere and that is why we went with the Bose sound bar and Bass Reflex speaker. I hope this helps... I know it is away from you original question. If in doubt; get an electronic wizard that you know to set up your system... The costs will certainly be justified after you see and hear the results.

Thanks Richard! I'll try the reboot first. I almost bought a Roku but needed a dvd player so just got that. So I can hook up the Roku and still have the blu ray player while using the Roku for streaming?I appreciate your advice!

I bought this from speaking to an LG customer service rep and it but the Blu-ray player does not recognize the network adaptor, very disappointed.

Not sure since I did not use it for this reason. I imagine your BluRay player has to have the capability to support an internet connection (i.e. integrated software, interface, etc.)

this is a joke right? 155 bucks for a wireless adaptor when you can buy a brand new blu ray player for less than a hundred and it has built in wireless........this is a joke

I don't have a wireless blu ray device. This is just like a wifi hotspot. If your device can connect to a wifi router then it sure can connect to this extender. good luck

Not natively. I suppose you could hook it up to a wireless bridge but that's just a pain.If you want a wireless Blu-ray player then I would suggest finding a different one.

This player only has an HDMI output. Does your TV have component video inputs? These would be three RCA jacks that are blue, red and green. If so, you can get an HDMI to component video adapter. I've never used one and have no idea how well they work. If you just have a yellow RCA video input jack, then you'd be better off buying a non-blu ray player, as you can't get high definition video through the single yellow video input. Hope this helps!

It is a bit unclear as to what your question is. This player does not come with a WI FI adapter. If you have an Ethernet adapter of some kind, this player has the necessary connections for it to be used to enable you to use your wireless. But, if you do not have an Ethernet adapter, you will either have to purchase one, or forego the internet connection.

Though there are various types of smart Sony Blu-ray players on the market, first check if the Blu-ray is internet ready or have a usb port for wifi. If the player does have one or the other, D-link would be great for it. The reason would be, the D-link is a wireless wifi adapter. It would let you connect to your network, instead connecting with cables. I loved this thing, but daughter and husband needed it for their old computer with no wifi on board. Hopes this helps.Thank you, for asking.November

Thanks for the update. I ended up buying the LG BD570 Network Blu-ray Disc Player after all my investigations and it has turned out to be a great device.I hardly use it for disc playback though, but it's nice to know that the option is there.
