Wifi Dvd player with Netflix

It is a DVD smart player connecting to Neflix as well. Only that, from time to time, Neflix loses its settings forcing me to do the signing over and over again; however, I am not sure if this problem can be attributed to the smart Samsung BD-F5700. Hope this helps!

I'm like you, I bought mine back in July strictly for Netflix capability. FWIW, it's been working flawlessly since July on the earlier versions. Its just this latest (1.43) that screwed it up. I even tried installing an earlier working firmware version (1.27) by downloading off their support website where you burn it to a CD, put it in the tray and install directly. The unit comes back and says "Cannot install firmware. The unit has a more current version installed than the disc you are trying to use". So now, we're stuck until the fix comes.

It is actually pretty simple but you need a wireless router in your network to start with.Pick up a cheap second wireless router/access point. During setup set the access point to "client mode" or "bridge". Use you current routers IP as the gateway settings in the access point and in the HD-DVD player settings. power up the HD player and it should have access.A bit simplified, but the secret is to get the IP address of everything set correctly.PS You also DO NOT want a USB version as you can not use USB on the player, it must be ethernet.

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.

Yes, but you need to access the internet to do this. There are a couple low cost options. Either use gaming system (Xbox/PS3) or you can now get a pretty good DVD or Blu Ray player with built-in wireless that comes with Netflix and other streaming video services installed for under $125.00 Connect either to the TV via HDMI cable (just get the $6 on Amazon) and you are good to go!

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...

Hi Action101, Sony BDPS580 Blu-ray Player has wi-fi capability and can stream videos from Netflix Youtube. Etc. -Vincent

I use it to watch Netflix on a TV over HDMI. It works just fine, just make sure you have a decent WiFi connection. YouTube is also fine.

Netflix is preloaded on the Blu-Ray player. All you need is a wired or wireless internet connection.

You don't! This player is meant to hook to an ethernet wire run out of a router. "Wires all over the house" If you want a WIFI get a blu ray player with built in wireless. By the time you get the one wifi adapter that will work with this player you will find it would have been cheaper to get a wireless blu ray. Of course you also need a broadband internet connection to stream video. You can stream video over a cellular connection but expect problems.

My unit did not have a WiFi option. To load an update I placed the new update file on a USB drive (from my laptop), then plugged the USB drive into the back of the DVD player and loaded the update (power off/on). A painful process...

Just the Wi-Fi. The system will take you through the connection process. The remote has a direct link to Netflix too,

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).

I don't see what the wi-fi adaptor has to do with your choice of cd/dvd player. The Sony TV MUST have a Sony wiFi adaptor though, other brands do not seem to work. The Sony wifi adaptor has a pretty crappy antenna, and needs to be pretty close to your wifi router to get a good signal. I would guess you have your BluRay connected to a central receiver/amplifier with physical cable?

We use the Zoom 5350 for both wifi and connecting it to our dvd player for streaming Netflix movies and it handles it flawlessly.

Hi, we have a Xoom which is like an iPad, so we didn't use it for a DVD player. Sorry.

Yes, I use netflix on both my Wii and on the Roku - same account just different players. Netflix sends you the CD for the Wii player.
