Is the base required for the wireless adapter to work properly? The router is hardly 5 feet away from my television. Thanks in advance.

No. Just plug dongle into tv. Don't even need a manual. Set-up directions will appear on the tv. So easy.

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.

Based on the way you phrased your question, it seems that your TV is WiFi capable without an adapter. In that case you do not need the IOGEAR Ethernet adapter and all you would need to do is to configure your TV to communicate with your router. If, however, your TV does not have built-in wireless capability, but has an Ethernet port, the IOGEAR Ethernet adapter will work. Both the adapter and the TV will need to be properly configured.

This is a wireless adapter compatible only with desktop computers or laptops. It will not work on your TV to make internet ready, sorry.

I just picked up one of these today. I had no problems connecting to the wireless router (2WIRE) in another room. Good luck getting it to work.

There are lots of factors that can cause your problem. the most common is the Tv's distance to your router. the weaker the WiFi signal is the less actual speed you get. What is the Speed of your connection. and how strong is the WiFi to the TV

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.

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...

It needs to be set up by plugging it directly into a computer. After that, it can be a free standing wireless hub that extends the wireless signal. Mine works perfectly. My wireless network devices at this end of the house now tap into the new router, while devices near the main router get signal from it. Locate the Medialink somewhere between your main router and the upstairs bedroom.

I don't think I can really help; I just connected mine to the TV and followed steps. However I have wireless dsl through my local phone company so I did not hook anything to a router.

If you are planning to connect this TV to your home network through a 802.11 wireless router or access point, you will first need to buy the optional WiFi adapter that allows the TV to connect to a wireless network. Honestly, I didn't bother with the added expense of the adapter because of all the lower ratings that adapter has received here. Your TV also has an Ethernet port on the back of it, and I used that port on my TV to connect to my home network. It is more robust than wireless, and I don't have to worry about security holes in my network that a wireless network can introduce if it isn't configured correctly.

Just had this problem. Took computer to my guru's, who downloaded new driver for wireless. Appears to have worked. From my snooping around on various sites, this appears to be a common problem. If you have a computer guru, ask them to check the drivers (or check for driver yourself - I'm too lazy and/or inept). I have also read on-line that the wireless network adapters in general have a pretty high failure rate. Supposedly they are easy to replace - don't know that myself. Good luck! It's a nice product except for the occasional glitch.

Hello friend. The wire is really short coming out of this antenna, around 1.5 ft. Btw this is not a router, just an antenna. It also didn't do anything to improve signal quality, I recommend you not to buy this item.

I cannot establish a connection either. Some devices have very weak wifi receivers, i think this is one. I had to buy a booster for my laptop, I think I need one for this tv as well. Bummer

Hi Eduardo, are you referring to setting it up with separate wireless extenders or repeaters? If so, then the setup is actually done in the extender or repeater device, and it should be compatible with no issues.
