Does it work with a non-US based IP address? I have a wifi enabled BlueRay player that will not allow me to access Netflix because of the IP

Not sure with Netflix and non US ip, but you have Showbox and XBMC for many more actual Movies and TV Shows for free and not ip dependent. Furthermore you can watch live TV channels, US, CANADA and rest of the world. If Netflix is needed and there is an issue with the IP, you could install an app which switches the IP adress of the box to the US, e.g. HideNinja VPN. Just Google on the play store. But this solution definitely works. Some people use it to stream channels from their home countries.

As far as I know you should be able to stream Netflix with this player, it works on a Philips blue ray player with no problem.

The wireless never worked on mine so I couldn't get Netflix. I returned it.

It takes a little knowledge, but I am sure that you can set this up. You can always cal Netgear help for extra assistance. You will want to download Netgear Genie from their website and that program will solve many issues. I am happy with this product. It rarely goes down. I suggest that you reset it once a week (turn it off for fifteen seconds, then turn it on again) and keep up on the software updates. I keep Netflix on the faster Wifi. You have the option of 2 separate Wifi frequencies.

We never set the network up to be protected. Is this something that would be set by default? We've never entered the MAC address for any of the other computers, playstations, etc and they all work fine.For the 2nd one - add the code for your DNS server - are you suggesting to add the code to the player and if so how?One other problem I have gotten 3 Blu Ray disc from Netflix and none of them have worked but the ones that I have purchased work fine!! I updated the player via an iso image from a disc. Any ideas??Thanks!

It should work fine. The US doesn't really like to make items specifically for the US use only. They will make more money if its compatible all over the world. Just like C. Coons is saying as long as you can power the device it should work no problem. If you're using this product as a wifi extender then all you need is the home wifi name and password for it. It's relatively simple to set up as well as long as you don't get crazy and start changing the Zyxel's standard configurations. I set mine up as universal/repeater and it works great.

I would assume if you have a netflix account and an internet connection you could watch netflix in any country on any device (laptop, NetGear NEO, blueray player, etc)

I don't see the word Ethernet anywhere in the instruction manual. It does say it plays on a Home Network DLNA. I haven't tried the wireless Netflix yet. I hope it works with my wi-fi when I push the Netflix button.

No it's not (unless some knows how to reprogram it) - we tried one of our UK DVDs on it - no go. Fortunately we have a separate a Philips all-zone player. Bought this one only for the Netflix wi-fi connxtion, for which it works fine

Works fine from what I can tell. I use Netflix frequently. Better than my old router.

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.

I don't use Netflix; but I believe Netflix works on everything. I use Dish's Hopper, though, and it is fine.

Just want to post to say I have been having the same problem, all of the other Panasonic apps work dine but Netflix did not. I changed my DNS to 8.8.8.8 as suggested above and it started working right away. How did you figure this out?

ok, i fixed the issue, I had to change the DNS to 8.8.8.8, automatic DNS did not work. After that Netflix, funny thing is that Hulu worked with or without this setting.

Depends on what you are using it for - if you get the cable to tether the projector to your laptop to watch a DVD - no problem. If for Canada and you are using WIFI and have Netflix, you need to download and pay for a montly subscription to Unblock-US.com to give your ROKU an IP address in the US, Canada has different streaming restrictions for services like Netflix.

Hi Karl - I had the same experience but attributed it to my wireless router being on another floor. The stream rate was not enough to enjoy Netflix. When I connected the TV via the ethernet cable the problem disappeared. It could be an issue with the wireless router having insufficient connectivity at times. My other HDTV is not smart and connects thru a bluRay player with WIFI and sometimes its data rate is not good enough. Not a definitive answer I know but I hope this helps.

Great question...I just did a firmware update hoping that Netflix streaming would show up...no luck. Seems like it could work if they wanted to.
