Can you use this adapter for a WiFi BluRay player with a USB port or is it limited to computers?

Yes, you can plug in the Buffalo into your WiFi BluRay Player and it will work fine as long as your BluRay Player is powered on. At leasst that's how mine operates.

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.

yes you can...but if it is anything like mine you will have to find software for it to actually play bluray discs

I would say no as it needs a USB to connect also I know with mine there were drivers to make it work. You could however hook it to your shop computer if you have one to receive from the router I think maybe for what you're looking to do you may want to check out the WIFI antenna at Heartland Amnerica I have no knowledge of the product but you can probably review cust's opinions on it

I have Wifi. I returned this product and bought a used microsoft adapter that worked flawlessly right out of the box.

Hello from Medialink,This device will not work with an HDTV or BluRay Player or anything that does not run on an Operating System. Unfortunately the TV companies force you to buy their brand of wireless adapter (which is why they can charge so much for it).Thanks,Medialink Products856-216-8222support@medialinkproducts.com

Yes, I purchased this to connect a BluRay player to my HDTV. The TV only has the component plugs while the player has the HDMI

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

How did you do this?? I have an extra wireless router sitting around and would hate to have to pay another 80 dollars for a wireless adapter for the bluray player...

No. This is designed to convert red/green/blue outputs to HDMI. If you have an older non-HD TV that you want to connect your bluray player to, you can use Portta 100HC Mini HDMI to 3RCA Composite AV Converter for TV/PC/PS3/Blue-ray DVD1080P. If your TV is HD, but only has an available red/green/blue connector, you can convert your HDMI out from your bluray to r/g/b with Portta PETHRSP HDMI to 1080P Component Video (YPbPr) Scaler Converter Supporting R/L Audio Output.

so it was not clear. Can you use the the USB port to connect a wireless adapter ?

No. A wi-fi usb adapter is only useful for connecting to a wireless device such as a wireless router. The wireless feature this player has only allows it to connect to a wireless router in order to gain access to the Internet (for things like Netflix and Vudu), not for any other sort of connectivity... like serving as a router to other wireless devices (or devices with wifi usb adapters installed). Furthermore, I wouldn't recommend using the wireless feature it at all. The prior model I had from Philips had identical components for this, and was so slow as to render the feature almost completely useless. One can connect wirelessly as a "last resort" if you can't string an ethernet cable to the player for some reason, but using this device without a cable is both awful and frustrating.

No clue...honestly, I haven't used this item since purchasing it. I would assume as long as the computer recognizes the wireless dongle whatever port its plugged into, it should work. But why you wouldn't prioritize a more local USB port to a mouse and use this device for more external type devices doesn't make sense.

If you already have a wireless network in your house, then you can use his adapter instead of running an ethernet cable from your router to a piece of equipment. You can attach this adapter to a TV, Blu-ray player or any other piece of electronics that has both an ethernet port and a USB port. When it is attached it will allow that piece of equipment to join your wireless network.

I'm using it for a Slingbox so I assume so. I'd just get a USB wireless adapter instead if I were you.

It should work but u may need a powered usb hub as this adapter is power hungry
