The WiFi radio is really good. It almost always detects my router. However it will drop connection from time to time. Lately I've had to turn the TV off and on to get it to connect again only to have it drop the connection 10 minutes later. If the connection recovery was there, it would be great. In my case, I'm glad I've got a WiFi enabled Blu-ray player which works perfectly.

From experience with it, I would not get it. It's very archaic and obsolete. The apps freeze a lot and the Netflix app doesn't function properly. You're better off getting either a Roku or a Blu-Ray player that has app functionality which most do that are wifi

I have somewhat the same set up as you David but I have two walls inbetween my router and BD390 as it sits about 53ft in distance in the lower living room. The w-ifi works good for us as I use the Netgear WNDR3700 model. Once in a great while as we load the HD portion of the Netflix on it will not download all "bars" but then as it begins to play it does stop to reconfigure

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.

You want wireless if you want to use the included apps like Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Prime, etc., and you don't want to string an Ethernet cable between your player and your router (which may be far away). If you just want to play movies and music, you don't need it, but with more and more streaming media becoming available, it is a nice option - if your internet connection can handle it.

Netflix streaming video quality has more to do with your internet connection than your router. If your internet connection is too slow for Netflix to stream at it's highest quality than the image may look poor. Either way I would not recommend streaming video through wireless. If it is your only option than you may want to install higher gain antennas on either end to help connectivity.

Hi W.B., performance will vary depending on the wireless environment in your home, interference, construction of the home, but this router should work well for you. We would also recommend taking a look at some of our routers with enhanced signal transmission given the size of your home, such as the R7000 or R8000.

Yes, I am able to stream Netflix. Bear in mind that each situation is different (interference, your pipe, and distance). I do recommend optimizing using the fast-lane tech they have. It greatly reduces interference, thus increasing BW needed for streaming. I used 5gHz device (my S3) to AC1200, then 2.4gHz Ac1200 to router. This works much better than all 2.4gHz overlay. You need to get into NetGenie to make the designation, and your portable device has to support 5gHz. Hope this helps.

I have U-verse router 2Wire071, Model 3801-HGV and it works. There are 2 set up options: 1.Using WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) and 2. Using a web browser. I used the web browser on my wireless tablet. My router is on the second floor and I placed the extender in the center of the house on the main floor. Now I get a much better signal for Netflix on my main floor as well as a wireless computer in the basement.

@Debbie, The HDMI cable transmits the Audio/Video to your TV. The "Wireless" portion of the BluRay player allows you to connect to your WiFi router in your home to access the internet. This will allow you to stream Netflix or Pandora. Thanks, Mediabridge Customer Support 856-216-8222 Tue-Sat 9am to 6pm Eastern support@mediabridgeproducts.com

Yes! I do it all the time with Netflix and Dishanywhere. Works perfect and may take time to find the internet connection setup. I use the Asus RT-N66R Router.

If set up properly, the extender works well, extending the range and maintaining the same speed as the router. My problem has been IP conflicts between the router and extender. So long as my wi-fi devises connect to the extender and not the router, I am fine and speeds are maintained, including streaming video to devises far from the router through the extender.

A question: Will this device enable me to use Netflix streaming on my Toshiba HDTV? I have wireless internet in my home.

I just received the one I ordered and I had ordered it because you could also watch Netflix, etc., but I didn't notice that it wasn't a wi-fi like my Wii is. I have a wireless router for my Wii but its back in the room with my computer and the blu ray player is in the living room. I can't have a long cable laying all over to trip over. Ha. Unless I can get it to work with an ethernet adapter or something I will just use it as a player. I'm a little disappointed that I didn't notice you had to connect an ethernet cord. Not very convenient. Well I could buy an ethernet bridge for $99 but then I may as well have gotten the BD 390 with the wi-fi on it because its gonna cost about as much.

HDMI cable is needed to connect it to the TV, the Amazon brand cable sold here works just fine with it and its very cheap. And yes it can connect to a wireless router or you can connect it by the LAN output. and ofcourse you would need a paid membership from Netflix to stream their stuff.
