Yes. The set does not have a wireless network adapter built-in. It does have a USB port, and Panasonic sells a USB wireless adapter that will add wireless capability, however the wireless adapter is rather pricey compared to a "standard" USB wireless adapter.

The television is not wireless. You need an internet subscription hooked up through wireless connection or directly to one of the internet set-top boxes e.g. Roku etc. This would be the interface required to access a number of internet streaming sites (not just Netflix). Additionally, you will need to sign-into your Netflix account to access the movie using the remote control that comes with the box. The TV does provide 1080p picture quality.

We'll it comes with a battery pack that you put in the back that snaps into place. The power cord is in two parts that plug into each other. The wireless lan adapter goes into the USB plug in just like a computer. When you want to use the netflix app or any other you have to set up the network and use the custom option to change to manual not the one that stars with the letter d. Then test the wireless connection. It should work better with manual other then the one with the one with the letter d I think it's dhcp or something like that but don't use that. Hope this helps. It also comes with a remote and a av cable and a car adapter. We'll it comes with a battery pack that you put in the back that snaps into place.

THe newer ones do have the adapter built in. But the older ones, that can do wifi, you still need the adapter. But you are better off buying, a bluray, that has it built in. Saves you a lot of money.

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.

Plug in the power cord to charge (I charged before I turned on the first time). There is a wireless usb adapter that has to be connected to the unit to get wifi. Stick that in and connect to the wifi to get to netflix, etc. I can't remember the exact setup when I turned on the first time, but I went through it with the remote, popped in a blu-ray, and it played. Plays DVDs too and you can connect to a larger television if you have the right cord. Hope this helps!

Yep, and when I wanted to run this from my Mac, the gaming adapter wouldn't work (requires windows) BUT I hooked up my Apple Airport Express which was even EASIER than the Linksys gaming adapter and that worked too. It seems that there are a variety of options for wirelessly streaming from Netflix. I haven't noticed any difference in the quality with these two adapters.Lovin' it.

I watch Netflix on this TV using the Roku device which receives the downloaded Netflix programming wirelessly from my wireless router which is connected to the Internet.

Netflix is a stand alone company for which you pay a fee for the service. It comes over an Internet connection. The player has wi-fi built in if you have wireless Internet at home. If you don't have wireless, you will need a Cat-5 or Cat-6 cable to connect from your modem to the ethernet port on the player (it looks similar to a phone cord).

It's in the software of the machine, should be able, if you have good wifi, to navigate to the netflix app under video. I do not use that part because it was not user friendly and I bought a smart tv.

A question: Will this device enable me to use Netflix streaming on my Toshiba HDTV? I have wireless internet in my home.

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

Dang! Yeah, that is unfortunate. A wireless connection would have been a good complement to my Roku Netflix player. I can only assume that Sony will look to add wireless capability into the next generation of BD players...

No Sorry, Just be careful when you try to buy adapter too, because those tend not to work either. Good Luck, my next pruchase will be wireless

Yes, there is a Netflix app and I'm watching a streaming movie as I write this. Works best with earphones, I use a bluetooth pair.

It will need to be plugged in. The only wireless adapters I can think of are chromechast and the allshare dongle.

Don't feel bad, it is indeed confusing. This model will allow you to hook up to Netflix, Hulu, etc. without having to purchase any sort of wireless adapter.
