I notice there is a LAN input/output. Can I connect my internet ready blu ray player to it to receive wired internet like Hulu, Netflix, etc.?

Sorry - don't have a bluray player so I cannot test it for you. Maybe someone else can help?

The answer is NO. The RJ-45 connector is input only, and used in the Access Point (AP) mode to connect the device to your router.

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

No you will need to connect the LG BD300's ethernet jack into an ethernet cable that is connected to your network - it will not stream directly through the cable. (There is no cable connection on the player.) For best quality you would connect your TV to the player with an HDMI cable. They supply a component cable (red/blue/green) for older TVs but the quality will not be as good.You also need to have at least 1.5 Mbps Internet service for minimal Netflix streaming. For better quality have 4 - 6 Mbps download bandwidth available. Their 'near HD' quality streams require at least 4.5 Mbps.

Yes, you can plug in the Buffalo into your WiFi BluRay Player and it will work fine as long as your BluRay Player is powered on. At leasst that's how mine operates.

Stanley D.,It will play Blu-Ray discs, DVD discs, and even CD-Audio discs. You don't need it to be connected to the Internet to run. However, you may want to connect it once to make sure you have the latest updates installed on the player. But you don't have to. --Mr. S

Kent and Janean: sorry I did not understand the question. I do not have an answer since my bluray player has always been hardwired ethernet cable. Quick search does not identify a wifi connection that will work with Sony other than what Sony sells. Amazon shows it at $64.95.

I'm trying to do the exact same thing. I have a Sony BDP N460, a blu ray player with an ethernet port but no wireless. First let me suggest what I'm currently using. The Netgear XAV101 PowerLine AV (look for the product that includes two units) which sends internet through your existing power wires. You connect an ethernet cable from your router to one of these devices plugged in to an outlet. Then take the second device and plug it in where you want internet access. Ideally you can get about 150 Mbps (when I connected to the next room). But where I need to go is across the house and the speed is at best 47 Mbps. The bottom line however is that it totally works. I can stream Netflix content (in HD) no problem. The quality is noticeable reduced, but definitely watchable, and for content you're not going to watch on blu ray disc anyways, might not be an issue. Now for the question at hand, I just received this item you are asking about. I was hoping it would grab internet wirelessly from my wireless N router. I'm thinking that yes another one may be required. For just under twice as much there is this product http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00126R3P6/ which includes two wireless bridges. This may be what we're looking for. I can't understand why there isn't simply a single device that will connect wirelessly to my wireless router and give internet access to a network device. But maybe it's possible if the tech said so. I hope so otherwise I'm spending more money and I want to stick with Netgear because my experience and the general consensus is that their devices are more reliable than others. And I just noticed the post is a year old. Well maybe this will help someone.

Thanks, A. Haught ,for the clarification! I shall connect the wireless dongle to the BluRay player. Although I purchased the BD-85K BluRay player at panasonic.com on Black Friday, I just received the unit a few days ago as it was on back order.

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.

If your blue ray player has wifi capability, your tv will. If you plan on hooking any wifi device to almost ANY HDTV, you don't need to pay the extra for a smart tv. I have a Samsung using the usb Roku, and an LG using my PS3. Neither are smart TVs and I can get my netflix, amazon prime, hulu, etc. Technically the TV doesn't have wifi. You're just using the other devices wifi abilities.

Hello Timonthy p Demco, thank you for your message. In regards to your question, this particular model number of Blu-ray disc player does have an Ethernet jack that would allow you to plug a LAN cable. For more information, check this link: https://docs.sony.com/release/BDPS1200_BX120_S3200_BX320_S5200_BX520.pdf-Oscar.

wifi lets you connect to online streaming services like netflix, hulu, or amazon prime. however, i would not recommend that you use this player. it shows a disconcerting tendency to lock up. a cheaper solution, and possibly a less frustrating one, would be to buy a blu-ray that has no connectivity to play your disks, and an amazon fire stick to stream your online media...

I just received the one I ordered and I had ordered it because you could also watch Netflix, etc., but I didn't notice that it wasn't a wi-fi like my Wii is. I have a wireless router for my Wii but its back in the room with my computer and the blu ray player is in the living room. I can't have a long cable laying all over to trip over. Ha. Unless I can get it to work with an ethernet adapter or something I will just use it as a player. I'm a little disappointed that I didn't notice you had to connect an ethernet cord. Not very convenient. Well I could buy an ethernet bridge for $99 but then I may as well have gotten the BD 390 with the wi-fi on it because its gonna cost about as much.

simply yes, hook up directly from your cable modem to your blu-ray player. I use this cable from one of the ports of my d-link wireless to my blu-ray player and if you're signed up with Netflix streaming then lot's of watching movies for you...good luck!!

There is a website devoted to BD-Live, i.e. connecting a Blu-Ray player to the internet:http://www.rayinblu.com/blu-ray-wirelessIt includes a list of compatible hardware to make the conversion from ethernet to wireless.

Not natively. I suppose you could hook it up to a wireless bridge but that's just a pain. If you want a wireless Blu-ray player then I would suggest finding a different one.

are you talking about using your wifi for your blu-ray and your tv.i don't see why not.i run 2 roku and a computer off of my wifi.the tv channel wifi and the blu-ray should come through on different channels.
