Can this be used on a Wii that we also use Netflix to watch movies ? Our router is on the other side of the house, so Netflix often disconnects

As others have pointed out, this device requires drivers from Netgear, so I think this is not product to solve your problem. Have you considered moving your existing router to improve signal strength or adding a second router, I added a second wireless router and my dead zones were gone.

I don't own a Wii, so I can't be sure. I think you have to have a computer with Windows operating system in order to connect to your router with the device. I used it for a PC computer to connect wireless to my router.

I use the N 300 with a Netgear Router and it was easy to setup and I have not had any problems.

Well I don't know anything about the connectivity between this device and a Wii. However, I know it has decent signal as I used it for my sisters computer on the oposite side of the house from the router. So I think it could go the distance, but will it work with a Wii is another story, a story in which I can not help. Goodluck!

Unfortunately, This most likely will not work with a wii. This device needs drivers to operate, which can be found on the NetGear website. A wii has an OS that can not be modified as easily as Windows, Mac OS and Linux. I'd recommend getting an insanely cheap Media PC, unless you are really attached to the wii mote.

No, not without a separate device with WiFi. This TV is not a "Smart TV". You need something like Roku to be able to access Netflix on this TV.

That may be a question the manufacturer should answer. I use this on my WD TV HD box so that I do not have to plug a cable from my router to the WD box. The wireless speed is a bit slower than a wired connection so I still use a wired connection in the living room. It is convenient to plug in the wireless Airlink and I can take it into another room or upstairs and use the WD box on another tv to use Netflix, YouTube, etc. I would suggest you check with your manufacturer for an answer or contact Airlink for help too. My personal guess would be that if you have a USB on your unit, then the Airlink should work but this is my opinion only.

I have a Samsung smart tv and a Netgear router, which is in another room. I had a problem with Netflix dropping off line, so I bought this extender and placed it near the tv. It works perfectly. You do have to occasionally reboot the extender -- just unplug and replug it in.

Hi Karl - I had the same experience but attributed it to my wireless router being on another floor. The stream rate was not enough to enjoy Netflix. When I connected the TV via the ethernet cable the problem disappeared. It could be an issue with the wireless router having insufficient connectivity at times. My other HDTV is not smart and connects thru a bluRay player with WIFI and sometimes its data rate is not good enough. Not a definitive answer I know but I hope this helps.

Would this then also work to connect my bluray player to the internet so I can stream Netflix to my HDTV? The modem that came with my DSL connection also only has 1 ethernet port which of course I have my laptop plugged into...

Yes, but because it doesn't have wi fi built in, you will either need to run an ethernet cable to it from where the router is, but if you have a wireless router, use can use a wi fi extender that allows you to plug an ethernet cable into it to the blu ray player or use a powerline ethernet adapter to connect an ethernet cable to the blu ray (that will run the Internet to other areas of your house using the power grid & power outlets in your home). The last is the best method I found, as the wif fi extender would drop signal sometimes, but the powerline adapter doesn't & gives me a better connection.

Yes, it Wii stream video. Quality Will depend on your ISP. You will also have to download the apps.

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.

I stream Netflix and movies from my computer to my XBox on a 42" HDTV. I have been very impressed with the quality and lack of disruptions. Formally I had a Linksys WRT54 type wireless router and constantly had problems streaming Netflix to my XBox that was poor quality to begin with. The problems went away as soon as I hooked up the WRT610N and also put a wireless N antenna on the XBox. I would think the most important thing is that your DVD player connects via wireless N rather than G and that it isn't too far from the access point. If that is the case, you shouldn't have any problems.

Probably too late, but no the Wii already has internal Wireless. If you go into system settings, there is an internet option where you can tell the Wii your network settings. However, you need a wireless network setup at your house to access Netflix. If you don't have a wireless network, then what you need to buy is a wireless router. If that is the case, I'll be glad to help in whatever way I can.I have checked the "Receive e-mail when new posts are made" option so if you post another question, I should be able to respond fairly quickly.

I do not have wireless router intenet. I have LAN Ethernet. Will I still be able to bring up Netflix and hulu and amazon. I already have accounts with all of them. I can use my roku 3 but I use that in my bedroom and was putting this in living room and hoping not to drag wires to this tv.

From experience with it, I would not get it. It's very archaic and obsolete. The apps freeze a lot and the Netflix app doesn't function properly. You're better off getting either a Roku or a Blu-Ray player that has app functionality which most do that are wifi

No. The Roku will work hardwired to the router, but the current speed of it is not ideal for gaming purposes.

I only used for netflix sometimes it said that this accesory is not compatible i ONLY disconected and reconnect and perfect netflix in mi crt tv on the kitchen

It will only be as good as the wii allows it to be. The Wii will only allow 480 dpi even with the wii2hdmi so it will NOT improve the quality of your Netflix! Basically the device is another way besides a/v jacks to connect your device to the tv. Hope this helped... The only HD from Nintendo is the Wii U...

Yes, but it failed to work when i tried to stream movies off netflix, it worked for a few seconds and then it stopped completely
