RJ45 would be the cable that most routers use. I'm not familiar with blu ray devices but if it has jack that is listed as RJ45 then this should work.

You don't! This player is meant to hook to an ethernet wire run out of a router. "Wires all over the house" If you want a WIFI get a blu ray player with built in wireless. By the time you get the one wifi adapter that will work with this player you will find it would have been cheaper to get a wireless blu ray. Of course you also need a broadband internet connection to stream video. You can stream video over a cellular connection but expect problems.

You will need to have a wireless router on your network. The Blu-ray does not require additional equipment itself as it will connect to your existing wireless router. If you are only using the Blu-ray features, you do not need the wireless or broadband, but if you want to use the Internet streaming features, it is best to have broadband (high speed) internet connection so the quality of the streaming video will be better. If you have dial-up or slow dish-type, I would not recommend this Blu-ray.To summarize: If you already have high speed Internet and already have wireless in your house, then this Blu-ray will work.

Okay... It's been awhile since I setup my soundbar. If it comes with it then you are good to go. I just knew you would need such a connection cable.

As far as the cord is concerned, yes. LAN(local area network) refers to what is on the user(your) side of your router. Ethernet is more general term. Yes, you can use this cable to connect your Blu ray player that connects to the internet by wire, to your router.

I'm trying to do the exact same thing. I have a Sony BDP N460, a blu ray player with an ethernet port but no wireless. First let me suggest what I'm currently using. The Netgear XAV101 PowerLine AV (look for the product that includes two units) which sends internet through your existing power wires. You connect an ethernet cable from your router to one of these devices plugged in to an outlet. Then take the second device and plug it in where you want internet access. Ideally you can get about 150 Mbps (when I connected to the next room). But where I need to go is across the house and the speed is at best 47 Mbps. The bottom line however is that it totally works. I can stream Netflix content (in HD) no problem. The quality is noticeable reduced, but definitely watchable, and for content you're not going to watch on blu ray disc anyways, might not be an issue. Now for the question at hand, I just received this item you are asking about. I was hoping it would grab internet wirelessly from my wireless N router. I'm thinking that yes another one may be required. For just under twice as much there is this product http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00126R3P6/ which includes two wireless bridges. This may be what we're looking for. I can't understand why there isn't simply a single device that will connect wirelessly to my wireless router and give internet access to a network device. But maybe it's possible if the tech said so. I hope so otherwise I'm spending more money and I want to stick with Netgear because my experience and the general consensus is that their devices are more reliable than others. And I just noticed the post is a year old. Well maybe this will help someone.

Sweet! MAC code! I was having the same problem where I couldn't connect my blu-ray through the router. I went into the router properties and put in the MAC code and poof! It works. I had to power off my blu-ray and then turn it back on to make it take. I have a secured network using a linksys router.

it connects perfectly,unfortunately it did not work properly,intermittently at best. i solved my problem which seems similar to yours by purchasing the two obsolete dvd players below,either one will work and you can find them on amazon for about the same price as a convertor.they have both HDMI and component (RCA) outputsLG BD530 1080p Network Blu-ray Disc Player orLG BP220 2D Blu-Ray Player with Smart TV (Black)

You will need to us a computer (pc or Mac) with a plug in Ethernet connection to configure this before using with the bluray. Once configured it works stand alone and will join your Ethernet port bluray to your wifi.

Yes with this cable you can go directly from the back of your router to your tv to access the Internet on your tv.

This cable is for digital sound. Usually blue ray players only have an HDMI port. This cable is more for surround sound setups, which is why I bought it.

If the blu ray player has a wired network connection port in the back, yes this cable will most likely work. It is a 100 foot long cable with standard, identical, RJ45 type connectors at both ends. (This is like a telephone cable jack, only larger) Just make sure that the length is right. So, one end of the cable will be connected to the back of the bluray, the other end to an available port on your network router.

No. The orange cable is not an optical/fiber optic cable cable (Toslink). The Toslink cable has to connect to a Toslink connection at each end. The Orange receptacle has to use a matching orange receptacle on both ends (it is basically a copper wire connection, digital output from the Blu-Ray to digital input at the AV receiver). The Blue Ray Player probably also has an HDMI 'out' connection. If your AV receiver has an HDMI 'in' connection, this is the best way to go. Cheers,

Isn't it a Bluray player...and I ran 60' of cat5 cable, and it is working fine.I think you may have a bad cable or port.Did you verify the cat5 cable with good a test meter?

It will, it is sized the same as RCA cables. I have mine running from my blu ray's digital out to my home surround. It is a coaxial cable though so it is basically the red and white of a RCA cable combined. I'm not sure this cable will work with the set up you are trying to use unless I'm missing something somewhere. You won't be able to split the signal into the left and right channel with this cable. You might be better off using some high speed gold plated A/V cables. Hope this helps.

Possibly. It depends on the router. Some of today's routers do support a USB connection, but it is often limited in scope. Also, the connector on the router may be a different gender of what this is cable has. I would suggest to just use a flash drive (if the router supports it) and copy the movie to it, then move the flash drive to the computer to play the movie. Hope that provides you with the information you needed.

I purchase the LAN adaptor as a present for a family member. As a result, I do not know if it works with that Blu Ray.
