Can this network with my computer? Is this capable of streaming video from my computer via our home network?

Run an ethernet cable to a router that hooks up to the internet. The computer hooks to the internet the same way, so the two install the same way. We Stream Netflix.

What you're looking for is DLNA networking. I don't see anything in this model's description about it, but the LG BD570 (next model up) states that it does it. Hope this helps.

Can my wireless router access this LG blu ray or do I need to hook up a cable?

The BD550 is not wireless-compatible right out of the box, but there are adapters available. The TRENDnet TEW-647GA is supposed to be a good one. It plugs into the network port on the BD550. There are USB adapters which can do the same thing for cheaper, but then you can't use the USB port for memory sticks if a network device is plugged into it, so I wouldn't go that route.

I don't think there's a way to stream video from a computer; pretty sure I have heard that from several sources, including the manual. The player just doesn't have software to do that. It seems (for video playback) to require discs that are finalized in DVD, BD or 'avchd' video format; it won't even play videos off the USB drive, which I'm rather disappointed about.

It is not DLNA certified. It will stream to a TV via a computer and then through a media box connected to your computer's media, such as an Apple TV. But the rate of transfer is pretty slow.

Sorry but no, this unit will only connect to the network via a wireless connection. The LAN ports on the unit are access ports for clients not network ports.

As with any router it will work with streaming video, but this is NOT a very good extender. My previous reviews put this extender as junk as it really doesn't extend very far.

No. You have to have it connected to something that can stream video, like a DVD player or a chromecast.

Yes, you can stream your network via this device. Just setup apprpriate share on your computer. I use it to watch Internet based TV. It is Android based device and it will do whatever your phone or tablet does. With a small exception I can use same apps.

I use it exclusively for "Hangouts" video conferencing and to stream music and video. I have a separate computer to handle networking. I have not attempted to network with other computers, but it does recognize the various computer networks I sign onto. I believe it runs the google proprietary operating system

Yes, marginally. While your computers speed will increase overall joekerr1 is right streaming capability is more dependent on network infrastructure

You can view the video feed locally on your network. Your PC will need to be connected to your network with Ethernet or WiFi. Internet service is not required. Hope this helps!

It works well for my media streaming via YouTube and all other online streaming I have done. You'll have to confer with Comcast regarding usability with their network.

I don't know if the Sony WIFI adapter will stream videos from pc. I would do all the research you can, I tried this device, a Netgear wireless bridge, and even when I ran an Ethernet cable from my router directly to my tv, the tv still wouldn't recognize my network. I would look into a smart DVD player for that. I ended up getting a Samsung to use for Netflix, and it can also play videos, music and share photos through the Windows media center on my pc. I haven't done it, but the options are there on the DVD's home screen. Good luck

not sure what you are asking here.if you mean could you use a streaming box from those services or a HTPC, jack it into the reciever and be golden, then 100% yesdoes it hook into the internet and stream those services itself, then no

Yes, the server can act as a dlna media server and stream to other devices. I stream from mine to a dlna blu ray player.

If your TV can reproduce video files, for example in mp4 format and implements the DLNA spec, you can send videos from your PC or laptop connected to the wireless network. You will need in your PC a SW that works as a Media Center. I don't know if there are Media Center SW that works with .iso files.

You can setup wireless network, I believe. We have never done that. Its always connected to our computer.

Yes, I'm guessing it will. We got a new computer to add to our home network and I was able to load and use it from there.
