Any owners of this find that streaming from Netflix when HARDWIRED is relatively slow compared to wifi of PS3?

Are you hardwired through a switch or direct to the router? If you are using a network switch make sure the power supply is putting out the full voltage to power the switch. If you are using a non powered switch then that maybe your issue. I have my entire entertainment center networked through a switch and a hard line direct to a cable modem. My Panasonic streams with no issues at all. I actually tested it against my Xbox and they both worked perfect.

I have somewhat the same set up as you David but I have two walls inbetween my router and BD390 as it sits about 53ft in distance in the lower living room. The w-ifi works good for us as I use the Netgear WNDR3700 model. Once in a great while as we load the HD portion of the Netflix on it will not download all "bars" but then as it begins to play it does stop to reconfigure

Yes it does. I had no problem connecting it to my wired lan and access the AllShare (pc program) shares from my desktop at home. The downsides are that I could not update the firmware via web so I had to do it manually using a usb pen drive. Also I couldn't make Netflix to work on this device even thought it was so easy to do on the smart tv of the same vendor. If you are interested in using it for Netflix I would recommend you to stay away from this model (and maybe you should try a gaming console like the PS3 which let you play Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, HULU, Crunchyroll, etc or another blu ray player model).

I have our roku3 in an up stairs bedroom and it streams faster than the wifi blue ray player that we have down stairs closer to our router. I suppose it depends on the strength of your wifi signal but ours works just fine at quite a distance

I just bought one of these last week and the picture looks good from any angle. I am very pleased with the picture quality also, as well as it's wi-fi conections. My wife streams Netflix movies on it at least once a day.I hope this has been of some help for you.

Yes; it also reduces video quality for slower connections. Thus if I'm watching Netflix and my connection gets jammed rather than stopping to buffer the quality drops down to not interrupt the viewing.For reference I use Time Warner Lite - the cheapest slowest package available ($19.99 / month) which claims download speeds up "up to 1 mbps" and I am streaming in full HD a lot of the time with virtually no wait. I just loaded an episode of Psych, took 45 seconds and its full HD.

Why is it i have troble streaming Netflix to my Sony Blue Ray DVD every FRIDAY and SATURDAY night? Daytime and Week nights, NO PROBLEM? Are NETFLIX Servers overloaded? What is the real problem because I don't think its my connection or device. I know it's not my connection because I'm entering this as I'm watching my frequently stoping Netflix movie and my connection is FINE. It has taken about 3 hours to watch an 1 1/2 hr movie. :( Does anyone else have this PROBLEM?

When I try to watch l watch California network stations I have the same problem Netflix is under attack from Comcast, Verizon.....exedra for unpaid for internet resources (bandwidth). They are claiming that Netflix traffic through their fiber-optic lines is overloading their fiber lines and data has to be diverted. Their study says one thing and Netflix is looking for an unbiased study. It's all about the money. If your Sony BDPS5200 3D has connection problems, remove the power supply plug from the unit; wait 30 seconds and plug back in. This will resolve any internal problems.

Even if you use WiFi, the streaming is fast and reliable. I've had it for a long time now and never experienced any lag. It's just the menu that's very slow. It's fine if you know what you want to watch, but it's like being on dial up again if you are just browsing.

I also own one and while I'm pretty happy with the T.V., I've noticed all the apps including netflix are sort of slow. Sometimes my only option has been to turn on and off the T.V. again and the apps will work better. I believe Vizio put a cheap processer in the unit with not a whole lot of memory. So unfortunately I don't think there is a way to fix it unless Vizio comes out with some software update to help it.

I don't use Netflix, but according to my research Netflix is still trying to bring 4K streaming to life. The reason is because 4K streaming takes double the bandwidth. Most consumers use only about half the bandwidth required for 4K streaming. I use 4K discs, such as Men In Black (4K version) to watch in 4K. Also, I have a Sony receiver that upscales to 4K (actually near 4K). I stream through it. I use Amazon Instant Video. According to some of the techno geeks, you have to check with your ISP to see if they have you connected up to a 15Mbps (minimum) service. Higher is better. Low streaming speeds will interfere with your 4K streaming; thus, you'll never achieve 4K delivery. Many ISP companies are trying to catch up to the demand. Therefore, check with your ISP to verify your connection speed. If it's too slow, you'll have to upgrade your service. Any 4K signal that goes into the HDMI port of your Sony TV will display as 4K. You have to make sure it's a 4K signal.

I know you can do a direct connection to the computer because I work from home and that's how I have it wired. I've never tried to play Netflix off of it because I use the xbox/ps3 for that. But I have no problems with the direct connection with the ethernet cord to the computer.

I have my ps3 connected via ethernet so i can race and watch netflix and others i havnt tried playing on the computer it self but the game plays great on the tv via ethernet tried the netflix on the computer and it drags or picture stops while the person is still talking but that might be from the internet speed being used im only at 12mpb so if your at say 20 or 40 mpb that may work out better but i can watch full youtube movies and full youtube band concerts and works fine for that , dont know if that helps you or not

I have found that Netflix playback problems/buffering are related to network loading. It's *not* the player. I have very fast broadband so I may be seeing fewer buffering issues than other folks, but during the day, when fewer people are using Comcast because they are at work, this player streams Netflix at full HD pretty much 100% of the time for me.

I just returned my unit and got a replacement and the new unit works fine, no problems connecting to netflix. Also, my original unit didn't process the firmware upgrades because the new unit now has blockbuster and you tube on it. So it you have the chance, you might want to take it back for an exchange.
