Probably too late, but no the Wii already has internal Wireless. If you go into system settings, there is an internet option where you can tell the Wii your network settings. However, you need a wireless network setup at your house to access Netflix. If you don't have a wireless network, then what you need to buy is a wireless router. If that is the case, I'll be glad to help in whatever way I can.I have checked the "Receive e-mail when new posts are made" option so if you post another question, I should be able to respond fairly quickly. Hopefully, you already solved the problem but if not I'll be around. Probably too late, but no the Wii already has internal Wireless.

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?
577890
Most likely you will have to buy Sony's own Wifi Adapter:Sony USB Wi-Fi AdapterAt least that is true for Sony BDP-BX37 1080p Upscaling Blu-ray Disc DVD Player w/HDMI, LAN & USB from what all the reviews are saying.Sorry for the bad news. Hope you have a happy New Year!

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!

LP thank you so much for your response. After your post I was able to insert the disk into the WII netflix had provided months ago and I was up and running.

Similar question for LP Brewer - Can you hook up to wireless without this with a ps3? Or do they only have wired capability unless I purchase an adapter? Thanks!

I don't see the word Ethernet anywhere in the instruction manual. It does say it plays on a Home Network DLNA. I haven't tried the wireless Netflix yet. I hope it works with my wi-fi when I push the Netflix button.

Streaming the netflix isnt the greatest though. I have had good luck with my wireless internet connection through my playstation 3, but the selection on netflix is horrible. It doesn't do me any good to have the entire setup when I can only download about 5% of the netflix inventory. For example, of the netflix top 100 movies, you can only stream 6 of those movies to your TV. The other 94 movies are available to be shipped on DVD, but not the direct stream to your TV. The concept of direct streaming is misleading, just giving you a heads up!!!

Netflix HD only streams at 3.6mbps. ANY wireless connection will easily handle this - even 802.11b.

I really don't know. I had some issues so I ran an ethernet line, and Netflix works great.My house has a lot of concrete in it and it seems to prohibit the WIFI from being effective.

This is a stand alone device. It does not connect to a computer. The D-link requires that you sing-in to the chosen service ie hulu, netflix and stream from there.

Would this then also work to connect my bluray player to the internet so I can stream Netflix to my HDTV? The modem that came with my DSL connection also only has 1 ethernet port which of course I have my laptop plugged into...

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

No download necessary. Netflix streams high quality movies directly from the internet. Sure, every title isn't available. You'll still have to wait for the DVD to come in the mail for new releases. The best part is that it is unlimited. No extra charge at all. Unlimited internet access included with the basic $9 membership that still mails you DVDs. It's a tremendous bargain. Of course, they'll start sending me blu-ray discs as soon as I get a player. I've got tons of stuff to watch now while I wait for the right blu ray player to come around.

Thank you for posting, of course. But I don't put a whole lot of stock in that transcript. Since the PS3 has Netflix Streaming using the BD-Live technology provided also on the S560, I tried using the PS3 Instant Streaming disc. It *almost* worked. Apparently, the S560 does not have a date/time setting, which is required by the Netflix DRM algorithm. After much testing, I believe that is the only stumbling block to getting Netflix Streaming to work on the S560.So, yes, the S560 as is does not support Netflix Streaming, but those of you who think it can't, may not realize how easy it would be to make it so.

Yes you can but the software is so slow its not even worth it. It takes about 4min to connect to netflix and thats with a broadband connection running at 18mbs. I really only use it to watch 3d blu rays cause I can adjust the depth of the picture(which I am unable to do on my newer lg 3d blu ray player).if you really just want a device to stream on thats cheap I would suggest the matricom gbox midnight it comes without instructions but there are a ton of youtube videos on how to load addons to learn from. I actually ditched my cable after buying one and get 3 times more programs without comercials for a third what I was paying for cable. I think its well worth looking in to but thats just me.

I have noticed that the streaming rates from various vendors are not the same. Netflix has a real problem with providing 3-D movie downloads as well. It could be your internet provider too. Some of them limit the data rates available to their customers. A quick easy check to make sure your TV is working is to try a DVD input. If the picture is okay, then the TV is working fine. Then, go complain to your internet provider or service. Hope this helps.....

I stream Netflix and movies from my computer to my XBox on a 42" HDTV. I have been very impressed with the quality and lack of disruptions. Formally I had a Linksys WRT54 type wireless router and constantly had problems streaming Netflix to my XBox that was poor quality to begin with. The problems went away as soon as I hooked up the WRT610N and also put a wireless N antenna on the XBox. I would think the most important thing is that your DVD player connects via wireless N rather than G and that it isn't too far from the access point. If that is the case, you shouldn't have any problems.

That may be a question the manufacturer should answer. I use this on my WD TV HD box so that I do not have to plug a cable from my router to the WD box. The wireless speed is a bit slower than a wired connection so I still use a wired connection in the living room. It is convenient to plug in the wireless Airlink and I can take it into another room or upstairs and use the WD box on another tv to use Netflix, YouTube, etc. I would suggest you check with your manufacturer for an answer or contact Airlink for help too. My personal guess would be that if you have a USB on your unit, then the Airlink should work but this is my opinion only.

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.

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.

HDMI cable is needed to connect it to the TV, the Amazon brand cable sold here works just fine with it and its very cheap. And yes it can connect to a wireless router or you can connect it by the LAN output. and ofcourse you would need a paid membership from Netflix to stream their stuff.
