Is there a way to purchase a replacement WiFI Dongle for the BDP-93? If not will a NetGear Dongle work?

Contact Oppo - they have pretty good customer service. Leave a message if you don't speak to someone and they will call back. IDK about another brand, but it is just a generic USB cord.

Sorry I am not able to answer that question. However, it would seem that the best source to contact would be customer service at Oppo, the manufacturer.

when you hook it up and put in the dongle it shoulds go out and find it on its own...put since you played with it, not sure what you can do now...

Thank you, Prussianette. I have since purchased a wireless adapter. I had the wrong notion that there was a dongle similar to those available for other players. There is a big difference in price between a dongle ($30,00) and an adapter ($90 TO $100.00).

You have to download a "beta" driver from Netgear, but the Beta driver works great for my Windows 8.1 systems.. The drivers on my CD were for only Windows 7. The download process was easy.

The USB wifi adapter should have come with the driver software.If not, you will have to find it via google searching.

You will have to hook-up to ethernet for a short while and download the correct drivers from the internet instead of from the CD. Here is a link (copy and paste it):http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/17744/~/wna1100-release-software---version-1.1.3.26

Actually the player and the adapter are on order and I have not tried them yet. The adapter I ordered is the Linksyst Dual Band Wireless N Gaming and Video Adapter. It was recommended by a salesman at Best Buy and is what they sell for any player for which a dongle is not available. Their price is $99.00 plus tax vs. Amazon's $84.24.

I don't believe so. It comes with a Bluetooth/wireless dongle of it's own and I don't recall anything in the instructions telling you how to change to a different dongle.

MP, A thought (hope I'm not too late). For less than the cost of shipping your netbook to someone for repair you can probably just purchase a new (better) wi-fi card. A very popular one is the Intel 5300 AGN. It adds (draft) N to the existing B and G capability (assuming you have a 1000HA) and has much better range than the OEM card. I put one in my HA and there's a world of difference (150 to 300 mbps depending on distance to router compared to 54 mbps for the stocker) The Intel 5300 is commonly available on eBay for under $20 and installation in the HA is ultra easy. The card is right under the access hatch where the memory and hard drive are located. Cheers

Add to my previous response that component your need is referred to as a "dongle".

I don't know. Most of these Wifi modules use the same PCIe physical interface. Usually the difference is the number of antennas. The dimensions can vary in depth as well ( but not width ). Honestly, I would recommend disabling the bad internal radio and using one of these really short USB Wifi modules. http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Wi-Fi-Micro-Adapter-WNA1000M/dp/B004VDR37K/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1422199731&sr=8-5&keywords=usb+wifi+dongle

The BT dongle appears to a standard BT usb dongle. So, you should be able to pick one just about anywhere.

Unfortunate the wifi is hopeless. Lots of unhappy Sony customers of complaining of this all over the internet. Sony have not been able to fit it. The only way I can connect to is to use a wifi dongle. There is a super small wireless used cad called something like Edimax. Disable the internal wfi card which comes with the lap top and used the dongle, if you want to use wifi on this laptop. Its crazy - so crazy the retailer gave me all my money and let me keep the lap top. The retailed paid up because I wasted a lot of time an money trying to get a fix from Sony which never came.

I can't. Bought a dongle (sp?) it doesn't communicate with wifi. I use phone, kindle instead. If you can figure out answer, please let me know
