Will this wireless adapter work with a Wi-Fi Ready Blu-ray Player? This device seems to work fine on laptops and desktops but what about a Blu-ray Player?

If you have an 802.11n router, then an 802.11n USB network adapter could be about three times faster than this 802.11g adapter for streaming video, if that's what you plan to do.

Quick Question: I have a wireless router, currently use the Netflix Roku box as wireless, router is another room..Netflix connection all works fine..does this mean this Samsung 2500 blu ray player is NOT wireless for Netflix?? Thanks-

Just had this problem. Took computer to my guru's, who downloaded new driver for wireless. Appears to have worked. From my snooping around on various sites, this appears to be a common problem. If you have a computer guru, ask them to check the drivers (or check for driver yourself - I'm too lazy and/or inept). I have also read on-line that the wireless network adapters in general have a pretty high failure rate. Supposedly they are easy to replace - don't know that myself. Good luck! It's a nice product except for the occasional glitch.

Not natively. I suppose you could hook it up to a wireless bridge but that's just a pain.If you want a wireless Blu-ray player then I would suggest finding a different one.

I don't see what the wi-fi adaptor has to do with your choice of cd/dvd player. The Sony TV MUST have a Sony wiFi adaptor though, other brands do not seem to work. The Sony wifi adaptor has a pretty crappy antenna, and needs to be pretty close to your wifi router to get a good signal. I would guess you have your BluRay connected to a central receiver/amplifier with physical cable?

If the blue ray player has wired network capability, this should work. I used it to connect my Yamaha receiver which did not have wireless.

No it will not work. It only has 1 HDMI output. You may be able to buy an adapter cable that converts an HDMI CABLE to standard component cables, but not sure if that even exists, nor would the quality of Bluray show through standard cables. Your best bet would be to buy a standard DVD player with or without WI-FI depending on what you want to do. Also just throwing it out there, there DVD players that wireless connectivity, and/or ones with an Ethernet plug.Good luck!

This is not a wireless device. This is a UltraAV to VGA adaptor (not to be confused with USB to VGA). This would take a UltraVA port on and computer/laptop and convert it to a VGA friendly adaptor (assuming your Operating system supports the adaptor). So short answer no, this will not do anything wireless by itself, and chances are will not work for any system your likely hoping to connect it to, as I'd bank your looking for USB (which USB also will not stream anything wirelessly unless it explicitely states its a wireless adaptor of some sort).

No, I tried buying a wireless LAN adapter first but it didn't work for me so I had to buy Panasonic's. The packaging on my home theater was deceptive & their customer service was completely incompetent - they lost a customer. I hope you have better luck...

yes it works well as long as it's a wireless blue ray. if it ever acts up just rest it!

You don't! This player is meant to hook to an ethernet wire run out of a router. "Wires all over the house" If you want a WIFI get a blu ray player with built in wireless. By the time you get the one wifi adapter that will work with this player you will find it would have been cheaper to get a wireless blu ray. Of course you also need a broadband internet connection to stream video. You can stream video over a cellular connection but expect problems.

Unfortunately Panasonic does not make this very clear on the BluRay box. The player, depending on model is "wireless ready" but requires the LAN adapter to connect to your wi-fi as it does not have the required circuitry internally to receive and process the wi-fi signal. My Blu Ray was network ready - if I used an ethernet cable, but required the adapter for wifi. I guess it is way to sell an accessory. This is a throwback to early laptops that required a wifi usb adapter to connect.

Thanks for your post on this discussion regarding wireless connection for this TV. I still have a few questions.When you unhook your gaming adaptor and connect it to TV, you still need to connect your wireless router back to PC. So in that case, will this trick work using two regular wireless routers, one connected to PC and on to TV (after the wep key step)? I am not into gaming, so I don't want to spend a lot on the gmaing adaptor.

Just scored one from Tiger Direct... one of "just several" they said they had left... so thanks again... if you don't mind, would you post your choice of BlueRay Player that included the wireless capability. I don't understand why people would pay so much more for those "add-on" Internet Apps... when for less, you can get a wireless Blue Ray with as much capability... I don't do Facebook or Pandora, etc, but if I did, why would I want to on my TV?????????????

It connects via bluetooth. I imagine as long as the laptop has bluetooth capability it should work. The range is good as well. Can have the player in the next room and it still works.

I have not used wireless display, but I know how it works. most of the adapters are using wifito connect with pc or other kind of devices, which means that any device working with wifi can be connected. so the answer is yes. please read the manual of the adapter you are using or ask a profession to double check.

It should work. Only reason it shouldn't be working is if the HDMI port on the Blue Ray is not giving enough power. If you do get it, I suggest trying it on a TV with HDMI and try connecting it to a VGA Laptop
