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.

The Netgear Universal WN3000RP works for me. My router is upstairs on the east end of my house and my big screen tv is downstairs on the west end of the house. No problems.

I also had the same problem with my smart tv, bought the netgear. Works just fine now.

I have had no problem with this router and have it hooked up to a Vizio LED Smart TV so I can watch YouTube as well as other Internet video.

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.

Yea, this is really a buzz kill that none of the Sony Internet ready TVs seem to either have WiFI N built-in nor does Sony sell a proprietary WiFi USB dongle as an option like Samsung. The Linksys bridge is a lame way to get WiFi given the poor quality of Linksys and having to connect it to a bridge kind of ruins the while reason for having a wall mount TV. The Sony's do seem to have the best picture and the Yahoo Gadgets is very cool if not a real game changer (the App Store for TVs) but Sony seems to have really dropped the ball by not having a better WiFi N option for their TVs.

No your tv doesn't need to be hooked up to the net. Did you try some youtube videos? That's a good place for "show and tell" type of helpful how to's.Let me know how you make out.

I found YouTube to be helpful when I set up mine. I don't have Direct TV but I found help for my TV remote.

Mine is still working fine after 2 years, except for the "smart" functions. We can't stream movies or go online without annoying buffering due to the crappy wifi module. When we want to stream a movie we have to do it through the Wi or playstation. Don't expect good results with any function that needs internet. Samsung customer support is a joke as well. I submitted my concern through their web site, to which they never responded. Once they have your money they don't care anymore.

Yes I needed this to access my netflix and the other apps. Some of th Smart tvs may have built in wifi but as I said I needed this. My tv is also in the room where my computor and dsl wireless is so if it was built in it should have picked the dsl wirless easly. Hope this helps

Yes! I do it all the time with Netflix and Dishanywhere. Works perfect and may take time to find the internet connection setup. I use the Asus RT-N66R Router.

No. Which is fine for us because we hooked this TV up to a Wii console to view Netflix and a Popcorn Hour Network Media Tank to watch YouTube, etc. The Smart TVs will cost you more.

I have to unplug my wifi router in order to use the Terk. Yes, pain in butt if I want to watch tv in the kitchen. Doesn't matter what channel I select on router to stop any interference it does not work at all.

Heres the problem. The unit has limited space which prevents you from viewing a lot of videos. You have to frequently clean the cache. I don't like the Google play verison of Youtube so I use Chrome to watch youtube content. I also watch MLBTV with Chrome. It works but Vizio and Google need to tweak the device's software.

I tried different outlets around the property to see which worked best. Never did figure out why one place worked better than another. Suggest you experiment as well until you get your desired end result - in our case, that was 5 bars and the ability to watch TV and/or Netflix over the internet with no drops or slow downs.

Jacob sorry for the delay in giving you an answer but I do not always check my email or get on Amazon. I use it to listen to Pandora on my TV. As for other APPS, I use my MAC that is also connected to my TV. You can use the connection for HULU, Netflex or many other APPS that your Smart TV is capable of connecting to. The device is very easy to use and actually easier than the WiFi that is built in. I used the Dongle because of the distance from my bedroom to the router. The dongle picks up a stronger signal than the built in WiFi.

If you have wifi in your house, it is fairly easy to follow the setup and connect to your home network. The tv then has some apps that are ready to go (YouTube, Facebook, Skype, etc.). As I mentioned in a previous review, no browser so you can't just go to any website you want, only what the apps allow.
