The connectivity capabilities of the TV and Blu-ray player aren't meant to transfer content, but to connect each device to the internet. Your WiFi Blu-ray player will still be connected to your TV via HDMI, it's just that the Blu-ray player will be able to stream Netflix, for example. When a TV like the UN55B8500 is connected to the internet over WiFi, it can do things like get weather forecasts, or stream Amazon on-demand video from Yahoo! TV widgets.

LG BD550 Network Blu-ray Disc PlayerDoes not support the LG AN-WF100 WiFi adapter, that works only on LG t.v's. The BD-550 is wired Ethernet only and does not support the WiFi adapter.

If your Blu-ray is attached to your network via ethernet, then this will allow you to connect it via wifi. If your Blu-ray player is already wireless, then this is redundant and not necessary.

Yes, this unit has wireless wifi capability, BUT you have to buy the USB dongle. My experience is that performance is inconsistent, and too often I would get a message saying my internet connection was too slow, after multiple long pauses for rebuffering. This was particularly a problem with streaming Netflix. Now I only use the unit for the audio for my home theatre system, because the Blu-Ray player won't play Blu-Rays and can't be updated, and the issues with the wifi reception.

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.

The BDP-S370 (ethernet, but no WiFi capability) can "pull" .wtv files through the player menu via DLNA, but they can't be "pushed" to it (on computer, right clicking file and selecting "play to". Yet the BDP-S390 can receive the "pushed" .wtv files via the "play to" selection noted, but it can't "pull" them via the player menu. Ironic that the step-up model that has WiFi can't do something the lower model can. Sony support is completely useless in this regard.

I connect wirelessly to my Samsung smart tv but as you know samsung has the (ready-share). The subwoofer is wireless and can be put anywhere there is an outlet. But the sound bar gets plugged into your tv through hdmi. Or you can connect wirelessly through Bluetooth . Hope that helps

I can't speak for this Blu Ray specifically but found from other forums that this Rosewill wireless adapter ($25) instead of $50 for the Samsung one supposedly works with the samsung tv's and blu rays http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166025It does work for my Samsung 40" flatscreen.

My understanding is that all of the 'smart' TVs put out by Samsung are wifi ready -- but you'd have to check the specs of the model because they produce so many variations with small features included / excluded on what seems an arbitrary basis. Note, the model of TV in this post is NOT a Smart TV.

I'd buy the Samsung BD-P4600 Blu-Ray player, read up on web-site's about what to buy, Samsung,I have one and love it!, especially that since I also have a Samung 5084 50 inch Plasma TV also, HA!, so far everything I loaded into it has played without a problem, I have a Harmony 550 remote and down loaded codes from thier site and I'm having no problems so far. Haven't used the netflex yet but I can't see a problem there, but I think you got to have to right router (wireless or hard-wired) to use anything your going to use, maybe your just thinking to hard about this crap, buy it and read about what you have bougth and learn how to use it. I have a ONKYO TX-SR605S receiver with HDMI that I run this thru, and I never would even think about buying a F'*ING SONY, I'm sorry I forgot they own half of the ""USA"" !, "OH CRAP", sorry again, Rolacoy, I'm a happy person with Samsung so far, just "read" what the hell is in the box, and I see you know how to use the internet,surf the web and you'll find just about anything you might want to know about this S!!T, hoped this had a clue to what you need, like the old saying, It's better some time's to be going without being asked.

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'm sorry but no. The only WiFi adapter that will work with any TV, Blu-Ray Player, printer, (any non-computer) is the proprietary adapter from the company that makes that device. In this case you would need the Samsung adapter. Samsung doesn't tell us how to make an adapter that will work with their equipment unfortunately.

Ok I just remembered that my tv came with a Bluetooth wireless attachment , the instructions tell you how to use it. It's a small black thing with Samsung written on it. I want to add a picture but can't see how. This tv does everything, including REAL internet.

No, you cannot in the way you probably mean. You could watch movies on Netflix or other apps on the smart tv but not from a blu ray disc and you wouldn't need this player. Relatively rare and expensive products can transmit hdmi signals wirelessly, but it cannot be done over standard WiFi. There is far too much data after it has been decompressed by the blu ray player.Why do you want to do this? A low profile active hdmi cable may be the best solution for you. This is one of the smaller players out there so maybe you can find a spot near the tv and use a small hdmi cable.

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.

Not if Samsung Blu-Ray already offers internet connection unless you need a channel that is on Roku but not Samsung. Go to Roku.com to see channels. Most devices have Netflix, HBOGo, etc.

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...
