Flatscreen not internet ready - will it work with this unit? Will hooking this unit up to my tv allow me to use my wifi from the house for Netflix?

I could get mine to connect but continued getting error messages when I tried to access Netflix even though the Netflix site came up. So, I called emailed them and none of the fixes worked. If I were you I would return it and either purchase a Blue Ray player with wireless capabilities or get a Roku. I have a Sony Blue RFay wireless player and it works great. I paid $100 for it. I also have a Sony for the TV in my computer room and it is wired to my router via ethernet cable and it works great. The Rikomagic is a great idea if it would just work.

Yes you need internet for this to work, either wireline or wireless, if you going wireless the modem needs to be near to LG box or buy a booster. Personally I wouldn't buy it, I have only used it about twice, I have condemned it, signal gives trouble, power button, remote, only reason I didn't return it is because it will cost me more to ship it back. Save money and by either smart TV or google chrome cast. I bought an LG smart TV which I love except it didn't come with netflix, just my 2 cents

This is just a signal booster not a full router. I assume if your overall internet connection is strong enough you will be able to stream Netflix.

I have U-verse router 2Wire071, Model 3801-HGV and it works. There are 2 set up options: 1.Using WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) and 2. Using a web browser. I used the web browser on my wireless tablet. My router is on the second floor and I placed the extender in the center of the house on the main floor. Now I get a much better signal for Netflix on my main floor as well as a wireless computer in the basement.

The TV is advertised as "WiFi Ready", not "WiFi Built in". What that means is that it does not have WiFi without a WiFi adapter that you have to buy separately.I plug my Panasonic directly into an Ethernet router. That works great.I can stream movies directly from providers like Netflix and Amazon.But since I have never had a need to get an adapter I have neverused one. I suspect it would work like my Ethernet cable.Plug it in one of the USB ports, log-on to your wireless router,hit the Internet button on the controller and your good to go.Here is a sample adapter: Panasonic TY-WL20U Wireless Adapter for Panasonic 2012 Internet Ready TVs The TV is advertised as "WiFi Ready", not "WiFi Built in".

I'm trying to do the exact same thing. I have a Sony BDP N460, a blu ray player with an ethernet port but no wireless. First let me suggest what I'm currently using. The Netgear XAV101 PowerLine AV (look for the product that includes two units) which sends internet through your existing power wires. You connect an ethernet cable from your router to one of these devices plugged in to an outlet. Then take the second device and plug it in where you want internet access. Ideally you can get about 150 Mbps (when I connected to the next room). But where I need to go is across the house and the speed is at best 47 Mbps. The bottom line however is that it totally works. I can stream Netflix content (in HD) no problem. The quality is noticeable reduced, but definitely watchable, and for content you're not going to watch on blu ray disc anyways, might not be an issue. Now for the question at hand, I just received this item you are asking about. I was hoping it would grab internet wirelessly from my wireless N router. I'm thinking that yes another one may be required. For just under twice as much there is this product http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00126R3P6/ which includes two wireless bridges. This may be what we're looking for. I can't understand why there isn't simply a single device that will connect wirelessly to my wireless router and give internet access to a network device. But maybe it's possible if the tech said so. I hope so otherwise I'm spending more money and I want to stick with Netgear because my experience and the general consensus is that their devices are more reliable than others. And I just noticed the post is a year old. Well maybe this will help someone.

I do not believe so I was trying to stream video to an older flat screen TV w/o HDMI connection to my smart box for Netflix movies and it would not work.

It should be able to connect to your wireless internet.I got me Vizio Smart Tv and it has internet functionality too.If you had issues,read up on the Trouble Shooting section of the TV Manualand if there is none then either go into Settings and find Internet Connection or call the Panasonic Company.I hope that this does solve your problems,I really do hope that it does help you.

I don't understand. You can setup the Wii for wireless already. I get my Netflix thru my Wii console using my wireless network.

Yes netflix will work on this phone if you connect with your home wifi it is fast. If you use it without home wifi via cell service it works but can sometimes have a delay.

It will work with all routers to my knowledge. My problem was the necessity of having to pay a fee to get it set up and then interrupted streaming once we were set up with Netflix.

Yes, mine worked wired and updated the firmware without any issues. Also launched the Smart HUB and updated the netflix app and this worked good streaming 1080i for me since he TV is only a 1080i TV.

Yes, I am able to stream Netflix. Bear in mind that each situation is different (interference, your pipe, and distance). I do recommend optimizing using the fast-lane tech they have. It greatly reduces interference, thus increasing BW needed for streaming. I used 5gHz device (my S3) to AC1200, then 2.4gHz Ac1200 to router. This works much better than all 2.4gHz overlay. You need to get into NetGenie to make the designation, and your portable device has to support 5gHz. Hope this helps.

Yes u can set it up on wifi. Go to settings and internet setup and then put in your passcode. It will walk u thru it. I called Amazon because im having problems watching instant videos on amazon and apparently alot of ppl are having this problem with this player. They are supposed to update me when their techs fix the prob with sony. I have no probs with netflix, just amazon videos wont load

I doubt it. It will not stream Netflix. I gave up on the device and no longer use it. I would not recommend it to anyone.
