Thank You! Thank You! Thank You for this post! I thought I was going crazy trying to get this thing to work and all along it was the stupid cable!

Did you check that wi-fi has a decent signal strength? Do movies play without issue?

This is just a signal booster not a full router. I assume if your overall internet connection is strong enough you will be able to stream Netflix.

We use more than 2 devices. Sometimes the internet is slow, but for the most part we don't have a problem with using 2 tablets and the roku at the same time.

I called Samsung and a rep informed me that since the last update was made available there was a "bug" or defect in the software download for the blue ray player. I have the 1590 model with the samsung wireless Lan. I thought my router was in trouble or modem but the rep informed me that it was not the provider or router but the software download provided by Samsung. He informed me that a new software is coming very soon to correct this problem. When? I don't know? It is making me want to go back to my Roku for netflix and my computer for Pandora.Gateway Ping is my problem just like the first posted message by C Wagnon reported.Vernon Stapleton I called Samsung and a rep informed me that since the last update was made available there was a "bug" or defect in the software download for the blue ray player.

I have Xfinity and have signal issues too, however, I took my comcast equipment back and picked up a Samsung Smart Media box that works as a smart hub and cable box, picked up a cable card to use in the samsung box. My picture improved remarkably. I am still getting some channels with "weak or no signal" on a number of channels. I am going to try this device.

I have very slow connection just 4mb and is great! wifi works great, I can watch any netflix movie or youtube videos etc... with no problems.

I'm sorry I can not help you. I had the same problem with wifi. I would get it to connect for a short time and then it wouldn't. I ended up putting it in a bedroom near router and not bothering with it. Bought a LG bluray player that has no problems connecting. I also put an wifi extender in the living room

I am not sure. I have as a main modem (802.11n wireless). I only use the D-Link extender for the remote areas of my home on a Tablet. I do not notice any difference viewing movies for example, if that helps. 5ghz ? you are over my head sir.

Roku needs a wifi connection on the computer & if you have that you could connect to Netflix or other sites without Roku. Roku is really to connect to a TV to be able to download over wifi connection

Quick Question: I have a wireless router, currently use the Netflix Roku box as wireless, router is another room..Netflix connection all works fine..does this mean this Samsung 2500 blu ray player is NOT wireless for Netflix?? Thanks-

I have a Roku (purchased from Netflix for $99), however I do not have a wireless router, lol. So since my TV is about 25 feet from my PC, I run an ethernet cable between the 2 whenever I want to "stream" movies from Netflix or Amazon. Tricky, but it works.

wifi lets you connect to online streaming services like netflix, hulu, or amazon prime. however, i would not recommend that you use this player. it shows a disconcerting tendency to lock up. a cheaper solution, and possibly a less frustrating one, would be to buy a blu-ray that has no connectivity to play your disks, and an amazon fire stick to stream your online media...

Netflix is no problem, I'm using a Cisco router which is about 6 feet from the TV and behind my iMac running another TV about 20 feet from the router thru a wall and another computer. I don't use Utube so I can't give you an opinion on that.

I have also been having problems with my roku player. My boyfriend got it for me for christmas and it constantly cuts off my shows. I have tried restarting it and my network with no success. I have had this issue with Netflix, and crackle. My Netflix on my computer and my phone works fine wirelessly but the roku acts up all the time. I can't remember the last time I watched a show or movie for more than 10 minutes before I was kicked off back to my menu screen. I will try plugging in the ethernet directly and see if that works, but I am very disappointed and I feel chagrined for my boyfriend that this Christmas gift is essentially kaput! Any other ideas please let me know! I have also been having problems with my roku player. My boyfriend got it for me for christmas and it constantly cuts off my shows.

Since my original post, I've gotten the package & set it up. I didn't experience any of the problems I thought possible. I have a portable phone, wirelee PC, wireless printer, wireless sub & my wireless router (all within about 4 feet of each other). I haven't had any issues whatsoever with any of piece of equipment, so far. Currently the TV is connected to the net with an ethernet cable to the router, so I don't know if I ever go wireless with the TV connection, if it will present a problem.I did notice, somewhere in one of the manuals, that if a channel conflict were detected it would look for a clearer one. Again, I'm happy as can be with all facets of this setup. The TV & soundbar are unbelievable! Since my original post, I've gotten the package & set it up.

I have found that making sure there is adequate wifi signal is important to using this device to stream video. For my home, I found it necessary to add a "range extender" to my wifi system . I have ocasionally experienced dropped signal since installing the extender but it is rare. Buffering has improved considerably. I have found that the recent update for the youtube app corrected a few issues including the full screen problem. I hope this helps Harold
