NETFLIX STREAMING VIDEO: Does the Samsung connect wirelessly or does it require a cable to my Linksys?

You could hook it up to a wireless adapter as well and have it talk to your wireless router. The Samsung is not picky as to what hangs off the ethernet port as long as it can obtain an IP address and get on the internet.

I don't believe so. Does Netflix and YouTube but needs an Ethernet cable- it's not got wireless.

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

Don't feel bad, it is indeed confusing. This model will allow you to hook up to Netflix, Hulu, etc. without having to purchase any sort of wireless adapter.

Quick Question: I have a wireless router, currently use the Netflix Roku box as wireless, router is another room..Netflix connection all works fine..does this mean this Samsung 2500 blu ray player is NOT wireless for Netflix?? Thanks-

No. It will connect to any blue tooth device, radio, and play dvds, but no streaming movies or Netflix. Honestly tho, I suggest getting a different system. this one sucks. I returned it after only having it a week. its not worth the money or frustration.

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).

Yes. I have a Sony Blu-ray with wifi connected and am using the Blu-ray for connecting to Netflix.

Okay... Put simply, WiFi is what you use to wirelessly connect to the internet, or wirelessly connect your computers and printers at home. Do you have a smart TV? Is it WiFi capable? You probably already have the Netflix app on it. There are also smart TV apps that allow you to connect to your PC. This Ethernet to wifi adapter makes it possible for a non wifi Ethernet device connect to your wifi.I hope this helps!

Yes, I am able to stream Netflix. Bear in mind that each situation is different (interference, your pipe, and distance). I do recommend optimizing using the fast-lane tech they have. It greatly reduces interference, thus increasing BW needed for streaming. I used 5gHz device (my S3) to AC1200, then 2.4gHz Ac1200 to router. This works much better than all 2.4gHz overlay. You need to get into NetGenie to make the designation, and your portable device has to support 5gHz. Hope this helps.

Didn't want to pay the extra $100 for the BD390 built-in wifi feature. Bought the BD370 and used an old Linksys wireless router (WRT54G version 2) as an access point. Flashed the Linksys router with Tomato (also could have used DD-WRT) so I could configure it as an access point. This talks to my primary wireless router 60 feet away and runs at 11 mbps. Netflix streaming seems to work fine; picture quality seems like SD (definitely not HD).

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. That may be a question the manufacturer should answer.

@Debbie, The HDMI cable transmits the Audio/Video to your TV. The "Wireless" portion of the BluRay player allows you to connect to your WiFi router in your home to access the internet. This will allow you to stream Netflix or Pandora. Thanks, Mediabridge Customer Support 856-216-8222 Tue-Sat 9am to 6pm Eastern support@mediabridgeproducts.com

Yes can use the ethernet cable port to the blue ray player ethernet port (assuming it has one) to stream Netflix fast.

I don't understand. You can setup the Wii for wireless already. I get my Netflix thru my Wii console using my wireless network.

I personally use a Ethernet cable instead. You would have to get a Samsung wireless adapter. You can't just use any kind...

You need a wifi "stick" which goes into the USB port on the side and is (was?) sold separately. I did not buy the official Samsung LinkStick WiFi adapter, but got a Rosewill RNX-N1 which was cheaper (but no longer sold). I see Samsung sells the WIS12ABGNX Network adapter for far less now ($35) on Amazon. I would try that. Do note: if at all possible, a wired connection is preferred, much better for streaming movies from places like VuDu.
