WII need internet to play netflix: If I purchased the D-Link DWA-125 150Mbps Wireless N USB Adapter would I be able to simply plug it into my WII and that would allow me to stream netflix through it once I loaded the netflix software?

I do not own a PS3 but from what I have read the PS3 should have internal wireless capabilities so you shouldn't need this. You do have to have a wireless router, which I would guess you have since you are looking at this product. To set the PS3 up, look in the settings in the system menu and, then, find internet settings. There should be a place for you to enter your wireless information in that area. Hope this helps!

You need a receiver, which allows you to stream television, netflix (either through a Wii U Or Blue Ray Player). I don't recommend any Sony devices because it does not work well with HDMI and therefore slow to communicate. Most of the time we use the WIi U through receiver to stream Netflix. We used to stream Dish through the receiver but it was getting too costly. Thus, you need a receiver to use this Epson.

Mine works great for Netflix, don't use it for much anything else unless I'm bored or curious to see what else is online to watch. For an older unit it still hangs in there with some newer models and plays just about anything, I use the PS3 media server to stream movies that wouldn't otherwise play thru smart media or usb. I haven't seen any updates for the firmware since I got mine, but that may not be unusual since I haven't seen any problems other than some codecs that don't play unless streaming them from a PC.

I'm not absolutely sure, but I believe you can hook-up Wii so I think you would also be able to stream Netflix- I haven't tried either yet - sorry!

Does anything else work on the D-link? I'm sure it's not a Netflix problem, it's either an issue with your internet (but probably not since it works on your computer, which I'm assuming is on the same source of internet), or its a problem with your hardware.

Using Roku, you can watch Netflix streaming without tying up your computer. It does use your wireless system, but does not affect what you are doing on the computer; we routinely use our computers for a different purpose in one room while streaming video in another room. Just fyi, you could also use devices like Wii to watch Netflix streaming, but the navigation is pretty shaky, so Roku does a better job with an easier set-up if you are only interested in streaming video and not games.

I bought a sony blu ray player with netflix capability, but apparently I need to buy a usb wireless LAN adapter to be able to connect the player to the net and pick up netflix. Will this adapter work for that?

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-

What the device does is scale an SD image to an HD resolution...or just blow up the image to fit the screen properly, its not true HD as its an SD image scaled. If you have netflix and an HDTV, might I suggest purchasing a Roku 2 box, its smaller and does HD content which the Wii does not.

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.

I just got a PS3 and the streaming Netflix feature is only by way of inserting a Disc provided from Netflix which uses BD live to stream the content (from what I've read). It may be specific to the PS3, but it would be worth it to pop that disc into the Sony S560 and see if it can do it the same way. This disc is free from Netflix to customers by requesting one at www.netflix.com/PS3Someone try it out and post back here. If it works, I would consider getting this unit for the bedroom.

Sounds like it might be a firewall issue. Check your router's firewall port forwarding and make sure that Netflix's streaming service is not being blocked. As for the DMZ of your router, not all routers have a DMZ (De-Militarized Zone), in fact most don't, at least not by default, so chances are this not part of the problem.Easiest way to check to see if it's a firewall issue is to bypass your router and go straight from your broadband modem to your TV's Ethernet port and if you can access Netflix then you know it's your router's firewall that's blocking the transmission.

Yeah - in the recent redesign of the website there is no longer any mention or screenshot of Netflix support. I can only imagine this means it has been dropped. (If not, they need to fire their marketing manager for not putting Netflix front and center on the website.) This is a real disappointment. I read a rumor that Xbox has an exclusive for embedded players - thus the need for discs on PS3 and Wii. Not sure if that is true, but it could explain the situation here. Roku was likely an exception.

1. Yes, i have connected a cat 5 cable from my wireless router to my sony player and am able to surf the internet. 2. yes, it came pre~installed and was able to sign up but do not really use the service my self. even though I was successful in downloading a free movie. I really do not subscribe to netflix,I do not see any reason why it should not work if amazon video did. Crackle worked fine for me. Hulu is a subscription service like netflix and unfortunately I do not have any intention of paying for these services.

RhymeBoy.G, Thanks for your post. I want to connect our satellite receiver, blu ray disk device, and plasma tv to the internet by cat5 cable. We have the following: dsl modem&gt;D-link wifi router&gt;desktop pc&gt;wifi laptops. I was not certain if I could connect the entertainment devices through a switch connected to the wifi router. Now I know this will work! Thanks.
