Is there any small device that would allow me to use WIFI with this TV (other that a gaming system or BluRay).

I have had nothing but excellent service from this tv for 3 years now. Chromecast is awesome, but you want an android or iPhone for all the apps. It is $35. For $50, you can get the Rovio LT and not need the cellphone apps. The chromecast is tiny, size of a flashdrive you plug into your HDMI port.

Apple tv or google Chromecast should do the trick. When i owned this tv i found it to be poorly constructed and had 2 circuit boards blow out within one year. The replacement tv of the same model i got from amazon died shortly after the warranty expired after one year of light usage. If you dont already own this tv i would look elsewhere and save yourself a headache.

You can add the Samsung linkstick USB adapter for wifi, but I've seen it for $50 to $80.Today with the latest firmware 1032 I tried my cheap $15 tenda W522U USB wifi adapter I have for my rasbery pi and it worked. The tenda W522U adapter is a 2.4/5Ghz adapter but only runs on the 2.4Ghz with this blu ray player, I guess they don't have the 5Ghz drivers in the firmware. But it does connect on wireless A/B/G and N so it steams my ripped DVDs from my NAS good.

I use a widi connection, you only need a device if your TV is not widi compatible. I believe I have a dlink widi device for my TV.NETGEAR Push2TV Wireless Display

Via ethernet cable. I believe the Panasonic wifi adapter will work with this tv as well, but it didn't come standard with this model. If your internet doesn't connect right away, go into the tv menu, then network settings. Test it out, should work, then do a firmware update. Then go into vierracast and get the apps you want.

You should as I do. The setup is pretty simple. Instructions are provided. You're device will need to be truly equipped with wi-fi capabilities. If it's a device that enables smart apps on your tv, those usually still require an ethernet connection to a modem or a device like this. But this will at least provide a remote hard wire access point in those situations.

I will have to check on that. I don't believe my tv has any widgets. Looks like the LAN port is just for firmware updates. Thanks for the reply.

Its only a 5 or 6 inch long wi fi speaker for your phone. Not big enough for a TV

Yes. Access anything you want thru WIFI as well. Games and music without WIFI.

It really depends upon your budget & desires. We went with an Ontkyo wifi receiver with enough hdmi slots for our gaming system, etc. That way, the phones & laptops don't need to be "plugged in" to add to system occasionally & still work well.

It can use WiFi, but my device broke pretty quick and I didn't like it when it worked. Pretty buggy. I switch to latest Google TV box from Sony, much better, IMHO.

If your asking if this can stream the picture from your tablet to your TV through wifi, probably not, I don't know of any Tablet with WiDi. They are, however, building Miracast support into tablets and phones now. So, the newer Netgear boxes that support miracast could handle that.

You cannot.You will need to add a Netflix capable device [Xbox360, BlueRay DVD player--i.e. from LG BD 590 or 570, etc]. You can wireless stream to the device and have the device cabled to the TV via one of the 3 HDMI ports. Works great [I use the LG BD590, but the 570 has the same capability:Netflix, Vudu, etc]. There are cheaper alternatives.

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?

Yes, a small dongle that plugs into a USB input on the smart tv. Includes a cable to extend it if better reception is required.

You will need to check if your TV supports Wifi Adapters. If so then you will be able to use this adapter. But remember to check first with Sony. I suggest you go to Sony Web page and ask on the support section.

Yes it should work with any TV that has an HDMI port, however... I didn't think it worked that well, and I generally like Netgear stuff and thought these guys know wireless it should be a no-brainer, but... meh. I recently bought (from Amazon) a Blue Ray DVD player (Samsung BD-F5900 3D Wi-Fi) for $98, because I wanted to upgrade my DVD. I didn't even realize it had Wi-Fi (so why are you taking advice from me?). Wi-Fi in this unit works very well and there is one less remote. Also this unit (and not the Netgear device) can be controlled via a Logitech universal programmable remote, which is in itself a wonderful device (when you turn it on you can hear angels sing).

Look for the USB port on the side of your TV and plug into it. This help you connect your TV to your WiFi network and get Internet-based programs such as YouTube.
