do i need an adapter to connect wirelessly to netflix?

Yes. The set does not have a wireless network adapter built-in. It does have a USB port, and Panasonic sells a USB wireless adapter that will add wireless capability, however the wireless adapter is rather pricey compared to a "standard" USB wireless adapter.

Yes it does. I had no problem connecting it to my wired lan and access the AllShare (pc program) shares from my desktop at home. The downsides are that I could not update the firmware via web so I had to do it manually using a usb pen drive. Also I couldn't make Netflix to work on this device even thought it was so easy to do on the smart tv of the same vendor. If you are interested in using it for Netflix I would recommend you to stay away from this model (and maybe you should try a gaming console like the PS3 which let you play Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, HULU, Crunchyroll, etc or another blu ray player model).

NO. You cannot access Netflix or create a link that will work. I have spent some time on this and the only streaming sites I could reach were mostly the built-in chinese sites. Do not count on the manual either to help you, it is one of the least useful I have seen for such product, documenting the obvious, and silent on the rest.

Yes and yes. Have watched a few shows off netflix just as a novelty. It needs wireless to do so, however.

WiFi yes. Instructions say it has WiFi. As for streaming netflix, it is supposed to handle that task.I however, do not have an ISP or router. So as far as first hand knowledge, I'm afraid I can't speak from experience.

Netflix is preloaded on the Blu-Ray player. All you need is a wired or wireless internet connection.

We'll it comes with a battery pack that you put in the back that snaps into place. The power cord is in two parts that plug into each other. The wireless lan adapter goes into the USB plug in just like a computer. When you want to use the netflix app or any other you have to set up the network and use the custom option to change to manual not the one that stars with the letter d. Then test the wireless connection. It should work better with manual other then the one with the one with the letter d I think it's dhcp or something like that but don't use that. Hope this helps. It also comes with a remote and a av cable and a car adapter. We'll it comes with a battery pack that you put in the back that snaps into place.

Don't feel bad, it is indeed confusing. This model will allow you to hook up to Netflix, Hulu, etc. without having to purchase any sort of wireless adapter.

Okay... Put simply, WiFi is what you use to wirelessly connect to the internet, or wirelessly connect your computers and printers at home. Do you have a smart TV? Is it WiFi capable? You probably already have the Netflix app on it. There are also smart TV apps that allow you to connect to your PC. This Ethernet to wifi adapter makes it possible for a non wifi Ethernet device connect to your wifi.I hope this helps!

I don't understand. You can setup the Wii for wireless already. I get my Netflix thru my Wii console using my wireless network.

Yes I needed this to access my apps like netflix. Some of the Smart tvs may have built in wifi but as I said I needed this. Hope this helps.

Yes, Netflix app is built in, as well as WIFI. All you need to do is set up your account in the TV's menu and you are good togo.

I bought a sony blu ray player with netflix capability, but apparently I need to buy a usb wireless LAN adapter to be able to connect the player to the net and pick up netflix. Will this adapter work for that?

Yes, you connect the TV wirelessly to your router - so then you can surf the net, watch NetFlix, etc - without having to plug things into the TV itself.

It has a remote and is equipped with Netflix, but in order to stream netflix you MUST buy a specific adapter for it to connect to WIFI. It DOES NOT come with the adapter and the adapter is never available to purchase and ranges in price from $50-100. Don't waste your time with this. Worst purchase we ever bought. I bought specifically to stream netflix and I can't even do that because I refuse to buy the extra adapter.

You would likely use sn HDMI cable which you have to purchase separately to use a wifi enabled player. The TV has two HDMI; one VGA; one cable; yellow/white/red composite; and red/white inputs. I have streamed Netflix and DVD using the VGA and audio through the headphone jack cable with a laptop that does not have an HDMI jack.

No. A wi-fi usb adapter is only useful for connecting to a wireless device such as a wireless router. The wireless feature this player has only allows it to connect to a wireless router in order to gain access to the Internet (for things like Netflix and Vudu), not for any other sort of connectivity... like serving as a router to other wireless devices (or devices with wifi usb adapters installed). Furthermore, I wouldn't recommend using the wireless feature it at all. The prior model I had from Philips had identical components for this, and was so slow as to render the feature almost completely useless. One can connect wirelessly as a "last resort" if you can't string an ethernet cable to the player for some reason, but using this device without a cable is both awful and frustrating.
