How do you get to connect this player to my network? I tried the auto connect setting on the player &amp; also manually entering the IP address.

Ours never did. We tried using it to use Netflix, but it kept disconnecting. We just use it for UK DVDs now.

This part can sometimes be tricky. First, retry connecting the player to the computer with the USB cable several times. I know they say doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result is a sign of insanity, but in my experience with computers, etc., it sometimes works! Are you using the USB cable that came with the player? Either way, try using a different cable. The wires inside these cables are very flimsy and sometimes a defective one makes it past the inspectors. Finally, if neither of these two steps works, try connecting the device to a different computer. If none of this works, I think it's safe to say your player is defective and you should contact the seller and request a replacement. I hope this helps. Good luck!

Just a quick thought, ensure both your router and the player are set to DHCP, as in, not static IP address. This way, when your player asks your router for ANY IP address, it will accept the one it is assigned. Also, I second the suggestion to make sure both the router and the player are on the same wireless encryption protocol.

I'm not altogether sure what you're asking. So I'll just write what I know of the player's connectibility. It connects via Ethernet cable (wired connection), or wirelessly via joining a local WiFi network. As far as I know, it'll connect with any router, save possibly "ac." Sorry if I wasn't more helpful, but that's what I know, and what info I could locate as well.

I had the same issue with my player. After reading these posts I Initialized my player setting it back to default, then let the player search for a new update which it found. "BD.8.97.398" "H90377". Installed the before mentioned update and I can now stream Netflix. Hope this helps everybody.

What isn't connecting? HDMI on player streams video to your tv. You have to connect HDMI on player to HDMI on TV. On tv, you have to select the same HDMI connection that the player is plugged into.The LAN outlet is what you connect yoyr ethernet cable to. You have to have a wired ethernet connection to stream the internet through the player to your tv. Hope this helps. The instruction book that came w/ the player gives you basic install instructions.

Please connect your player to the computer through USB lead. And make sure that the player is fully charged. Can you please press and hold play button until the player turns on.

When I hooked mine up, I simply plugged it in and started playing. It was very straight-forward. Sorry I can't be of any more help.

There is a great forum for all kinds of WDTV information and help. They also have an area for hacking the player and using to play additional formats - including network support! Its at WDTVforum.com

Sorry, I have used the player just a couple of times and think it starts where I stopped it. Not tech savvy enough to experiment either .And then remember what I did !

If you have a wireless router, pretty much any company sells a companion to it for problems just like yours. You can get either an ethernet one or a USB one. I don't know if Amazon allows links, but if you have a wireless router, this is something similar to what you would need to get: http://games.dlink.com/products/?pid=383 There are cheaper ones out there, but this is close to what you would need to get since there is only an ethernet connection on the player, no USB. I hope this helps!

Setup. Network.connection setting. Advanced setting. My player doesn't let me go beyond this option anymore. My wifi stopped working after a week. It's taken almost two months to get a refund from LG

Mine seems to do the same thing. I called the number on the Instruction booklet, the person I talked to could not help but unsuccessfully tried to reach their tech support. They never called me back. I really like the player- it is just what I was looking for. I will return the unit as I also think it is defective. Cannot decide whether to ask for a replacement, or just get my money back.

use a mini usb jack, like you would a set of headphones. If your player has bluetooth no cord is necessary.

Yup....it seems there are problems. My player just stopped playing DVD video discs (ie any non-bluray disc). UGH...very frustrating. I must admit that up until now I've been very pleased with the player. All I can figure is that its one of the latest firmware upgrades. Back to the factory...

I'm glad you warned me. I notice there are firmware upgrades on their site. But why would I have to upgrade a brand new player? One of them said it was necessary to listen to audible books? I hope not. I may very well get back to you with questions. Thank you again!
