Not clear on all the connection options... does WIFI connecting to the router for internet access ALSO mean I can browse media on my server PC?

Not clear on your question, but you CAN access your PC media files using "VIERA connection" once you have set up internet access.

Nope. It has built-in WiFi and will connect directly to your router. Works well.

May also be able to use a network cable to plug into your router. I would just plug it it in to the network to see what happens. How do you currently have it connected? Or is this going to be new?

You will need connectivity to internet either via Ethernet or WiFi. This device is a router and must have a connection to the internet in order to provide access for connected devices.

Yeah this should allow you to connect to wirelessly to the internet, I still haven't had any issues doing that. Works as intended.

yes the ugoo7b should see your Nas as a media serverjust add a new source on the your video files or audio files and we should have an option to see any network devices on your network

You need to have a wifi router of some kind if you want to connect to anything. However, there is a USB port. You might try hooking up a USB hub or something, and run a conventional wired network instead. I have not tried that. I generally hang this off a television (literally) and hook up a mouse to the USB port. Then I can watch things like Youtube and Netflix with it.

What *I* had to do was go into Homegroups, click on ALL NETWORKS, and THEN the player showed up (as "Unknown device) - I set it to ALLOW. After that, streaming worked. Once you do that, you should see another media server listed with your PC name that DOESN'T prompt you for a password. Let me know how it goes.

No. If you want to use a wireless router you have to attach a USB wireless adapter to a USB port on the pc like the media link wireless or panda wireless adapter.

That only means that it is wifi capable. You still have to connect to a wireless network to access the internet.

Nope, just link it to your router, I had no problems with this unit, I am still using it today, no problems.

I'm sorry, I can't help you ... I purchased mine to be able to have WiFi access when I rearranged the furniture in my room and couldn't have direct access to my internet cable. I haven't had any problems with it.

If you were able to post your question, then you get internet. But if you want to buy this router, then you will need to have an internet provider to install the wire that connects to this router's WAN port (Wide Area Network, aka the internet).

You can use an Ethernet cable to connect this device to an Ethernet port on your router. By plugging the USB connector on this device into a USB port on your computer you can achieve a wired connection to your network. This device does not provide WiFi capabilities.

You can connect to the Internet if you have a wireless router. Go to settings and follow prompts. You'll need to enter your IP address. Thus it should stream movies. I don't use it. I can stream movies on my Smart TV, so I just use the BD-F5100 for playing Blue Ray DVDs.

Yes. This is a basic switch, so connecting it to your router can serve as a useful extension of wired ports off your router. I disagree with the previous answer that indicated this unit is a router. It is not. It is a switch. Your router logs into your ISP, provides firewall, implements DHCP, and possibly your wireless service (etc). This device is not capable of doing any of that.

Yes. If you are at all tech savvy, you can hook this up to your home network and then open the port on your router so that you can access this drive from the internet. I haven't done this yet myself but I do know it is possible. Search the web or some forums for ways to access your home network remotely.
