Looking for a wifi router to use a blu-ray player with internet capabilities. I already have the player. A Sony 3200. I am also using a Mac.

That rangemax by netgear is good for macs or windows based applications ....works with all wifi devises, bluerays, smart tvs, tablets, iPods and laptops....works with cable modems or DSL modems ...very wide range for big houses

I could get mine to connect but continued getting error messages when I tried to access Netflix even though the Netflix site came up. So, I called emailed them and none of the fixes worked. If I were you I would return it and either purchase a Blue Ray player with wireless capabilities or get a Roku. I have a Sony Blue RFay wireless player and it works great. I paid $100 for it. I also have a Sony for the TV in my computer room and it is wired to my router via ethernet cable and it works great. The Rikomagic is a great idea if it would just work.

There is a website devoted to BD-Live, i.e. connecting a Blu-Ray player to the internet:http://www.rayinblu.com/blu-ray-wirelessIt includes a list of compatible hardware to make the conversion from ethernet to wireless.

Hi, Arthur! If you're asking if you can plugin the router in your room without using a PC, it depends. If your modem is in the same room where your blu-ray player is, that'll do. You don't always have to use a PC with the router setup.

Just scored one from Tiger Direct... one of "just several" they said they had left... so thanks again... if you don't mind, would you post your choice of BlueRay Player that included the wireless capability. I don't understand why people would pay so much more for those "add-on" Internet Apps... when for less, you can get a wireless Blue Ray with as much capability... I don't do Facebook or Pandora, etc, but if I did, why would I want to on my TV?????????????

The WiFi radio is really good. It almost always detects my router. However it will drop connection from time to time. Lately I've had to turn the TV off and on to get it to connect again only to have it drop the connection 10 minutes later. If the connection recovery was there, it would be great. In my case, I'm glad I've got a WiFi enabled Blu-ray player which works perfectly.

Sorry but not Wifi compatible as far as I can see you may try with a USB wifi stick but our would have to do a firmware update to get this feature it is a very basic blu-ray hope this helps you

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?

I have and do; in fact, it's been the best Blu Ray player I've used for a computer. I have a Mac and use a downloadable player. Try Different software; if that doesn't work, it might be a faulty unit.

I was just about to post the same question. I really don't want to run an ethernet line over to the player. I've looked at wireless access points but they're not much cheaper than a full blown router. I'm starting to think I'll end up with another wireless router (with 4 or more ports) to use as a bridge to my existing wireless lan. I just really don't want to spend upwards of $100 just to get bdlive.

are you talking about using your wifi for your blu-ray and your tv.i don't see why not.i run 2 roku and a computer off of my wifi.the tv channel wifi and the blu-ray should come through on different channels.

I ended up buying a Linksys powerline Etherenet adapter kit that uses the existing electrical plug wiring in your house. It works great, and the Sony Blu-ray just did a firmware update tonight with no problems! A great solution when your entertainment center and computer are at opposite ends of the house.

I'm trying to do the exact same thing. I have a Sony BDP N460, a blu ray player with an ethernet port but no wireless. First let me suggest what I'm currently using. The Netgear XAV101 PowerLine AV (look for the product that includes two units) which sends internet through your existing power wires. You connect an ethernet cable from your router to one of these devices plugged in to an outlet. Then take the second device and plug it in where you want internet access. Ideally you can get about 150 Mbps (when I connected to the next room). But where I need to go is across the house and the speed is at best 47 Mbps. The bottom line however is that it totally works. I can stream Netflix content (in HD) no problem. The quality is noticeable reduced, but definitely watchable, and for content you're not going to watch on blu ray disc anyways, might not be an issue. Now for the question at hand, I just received this item you are asking about. I was hoping it would grab internet wirelessly from my wireless N router. I'm thinking that yes another one may be required. For just under twice as much there is this product http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00126R3P6/ which includes two wireless bridges. This may be what we're looking for. I can't understand why there isn't simply a single device that will connect wirelessly to my wireless router and give internet access to a network device. But maybe it's possible if the tech said so. I hope so otherwise I'm spending more money and I want to stick with Netgear because my experience and the general consensus is that their devices are more reliable than others. And I just noticed the post is a year old. Well maybe this will help someone.

As far as the cord is concerned, yes. LAN(local area network) refers to what is on the user(your) side of your router. Ethernet is more general term. Yes, you can use this cable to connect your Blu ray player that connects to the internet by wire, to your 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...

i have only used a 3d blu ray player for my 3d efforts... however i can still get wifi outside and could potentially use this on the patio where mine is installed at. thus if you do find an answer to this i would like to know. i currently have a netgear hub with 4 2tb drives that store my music and movies its on my home network so its available on almost any device that see's my network that would be a good opportunity for me to upgrade laptops and get 3d via that as well... have fours sets of glasses and they all work great so i can only imagine if what your asking works. thanks E
