Do you need the Vizio router? Since we have a wireless router for our home, do we need to purchase another one just for this tv?

The statement from blank is not true. Any 802.11 router (b,g, or n) will work just fine. Since most every home and business router fall into this category, it should be as easy connecting your TV as your laptop.

I am not sure what you are asking, When I got mine I plugged it and it worked! modem to vizio to computer. The only thing I had to do is change the pass key to something I could remember in case I was not able to use push button method to connect. I love this wifi router, works PERFECT!!! cats MEOW. All of my wireless equipment, TV, roku, tablet, printer,phone etc work perfectly.

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?????????????

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

I would buy a router. The main purpose of this unit is to extend the wireless signal so you get greater coverage of your WiFi network.

Ok this is how we used the cables. We had purchased a new TV (Sears), a sony blu ray w/built in WiFi (Amazon), and a 4 way HDMI switch w/wireless remote (Walmart) that were all connected to each other with the cables. Since we have a wireless router in the house for internet, we didn't have to do anything with the router or computer. This basically turns your TV into a big screen tablet. Hope this helps.

I purchased a 60 inch Vizio a week ago and it does have an app for Amazon Prime and it works fine. However, I do like the Roku app better - plus the Roku has many more apps - I may add a Roku to this TV even though the TV does have the wireless interface. Mike K.

Make sure you push the button on the router to detect the TV. My router is in the bedroom, TV in living room picked it up first time

Not sure how you have wireless internet without a router. However, yes you need a router, the camera is useless without one.

Nope. Sent mine right back after I spent hours trying to get it to work, hours trying to contact Vizio, then they casually tell me I needed firmware, like I should know that. If I needed it, they should have sent it with the TV !!! I figured this would be only the first of many problems with an inferior product marketed by sloppy manufacturers. Idiots!

Make sure the TV has the connection on it then yes! Need the go into menu and indicate wired vs wifi connection also after you run wire from router.

I had a professional come and install in my absence, he had to cut a box behind the TV in the wall for $K converter and he fixed it with a mount he suggested, also I had a sound bar installed just below the screen. I wish I had run an Ethernet wire from my router, even though I mage to trouble shoot wireless connection by using the Media part the WIFI spectrum at 5K htz.

Assuming your TV has an Ethernet port; yes. Of course if your Vizio has an Ethernet port, then you should also be able to connect via wireless. Doing a quick search, I found this link on Vizio's Website that you might find useful https://answers.vizio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200602270-How-to-Connect-your-VIZIO-Smart-HDTV-to-the-Internet-using-Ethernet-Cable. Hope that helps.

Can this router be used to connected a wired device to the wireless network? I have e a tv that is only wired and I would to use this router as a bridge to pull down the wireless signal and transfer them to an Ethernet port. Thank you.

What exactly is needed to connect the laptop HP dv6-6c10us (15.6-Inch Screen) Laptop, to my HDTV wirelessly? I need to understand additional equipment and financials required before I buy my next machine.I have WiFi on a 22" 1080p Vizio HDTV, and a Dlink brand router to Comcast. Would appreciate some good advise on getting true wireless as I am disabled. Thanks.

Yes, you connect the TV wirelessly to your router - so then you can surf the net, watch NetFlix, etc - without having to plug things into the TV itself.
