It is actually pretty simple but you need a wireless router in your network to start with.Pick up a cheap second wireless router/access point. During setup set the access point to "client mode" or "bridge". Use you current routers IP as the gateway settings in the access point and in the HD-DVD player settings. power up the HD player and it should have access.A bit simplified, but the secret is to get the IP address of everything set correctly.PS You also DO NOT want a USB version as you can not use USB on the player, it must be ethernet.

If you have a wireless router, pretty much any company sells a companion to it for problems just like yours. You can get either an ethernet one or a USB one. I don't know if Amazon allows links, but if you have a wireless router, this is something similar to what you would need to get:http://games.dlink.com/products/?pid=383There are cheaper ones out there, but this is close to what you would need to get since there is only an ethernet connection on the player, no USB. I hope this helps!

If you have a newer model DIRECTV receiver, this device will allow you to connect it to your WiFi network. Once connected, you will be able to access many features of DIRECTV. This link takes you to the list of available features available with this device and successful connection to the internet via WIFi: http://www.directv.com/technology/connected_customer

You connect to it using WiFi. It is built in so you do not need another wifi connection. Hope that helps

What exactly is needed to connect the laptop to my HDTV wirelessly? I need to understand additional equipment and financial requirements before I buy my next laptop.I have WiFi on a 22" 1080p Vizio and a Dlink brand router to Comcast. Would appreciate some good advise on true wireless as I am disabled. Thanks.Jim

I have not been able to get mine connected to the internet over my Wireless network. I get an error that says "Contact Sony Directly". Otherwise, I would think it would be in the Apps.

It should connect to the wi-fi u currently have in your home, I had no problem hooking mine up. Try to reset your wi-fi then try again. If you can't get it contact the seller, they are great to deal with.

You need to have a wireless access point on your network and have it configured correctly. The actual internet service you have doesn't have anything to do with the connectivity of this television. Check the TV's wifi specs and purchase a wireless access point (sometimes referred to as a router with a wireless radio) that is capable of transmitting a signal that is compatible with the TV's wireless card. If you are unsure how to do any of this, I'd recommend hiring someone to set it up for you.

Ok this is how we used the cables. We had purchased a new TV (Sears), a sony blu ray w/built in WiFi (Amazon), and a 4 way HDMI switch w/wireless remote (Walmart) that were all connected to each other with the cables. Since we have a wireless router in the house for internet, we didn't have to do anything with the router or computer. This basically turns your TV into a big screen tablet. Hope this helps.

Looks like you have to hook up to the internet via an ethernet cable. I'm going to hold out for a wireless unit.

Have it. Def only internet is wireless. I don't think you'll see wireless HDMI anytime soon, Mary, sorry....hadn't heard about that, and haven't heard of wireless HDMI, period.. If someone tries to sell you a TV with wireless HDMI, maybe stay away. unless I missed a very important memo, anyone else feel free to correct me!... That said, The wireless I think if or she was talking about the internet capabilities. You can hook it up with a cable or it does have a very fast internal wireless router too. I use the wireless and its easy, very quick, depending on your internet speed, and super convenient, so I have more room for cables on my internet router. I have Att u-verse and so I asked them for I wireless router mainly because our computer and printer are upstairs, but both can use WiFi so I was going to plug everything in down stairs where the router is, but when I found out the TV had the fastest to date 802.11 WiFi, I just went to network options on my tv's guide, and just type in your password for your internet, just like you would for a computer, and good to go. It also will update firmware and programs on the TV automatically, which is good if they are fixing an existing issue or whatever. But no. There is no wireless HDMI in the near to further future... Sorry. TV is crazy awesome though!

Sorry we do not have the capability to hook up our E5400 5.1 to the internet. Otherwise we a certainly enjoying our unit. We had some initial problems in hooking up the unit using the HDMI cord and the audio cord to the unit.

Hi Diana. Use a standard ethernet cable connected to your modem or router. Then at the other of the cable end attach this device. Connect the mini USB end to your tablet turn off the tablet's WiFi. The table should then detect the ethernet network and be able to connect to the Internet. Thanks, Joel

Hi,I used a cable to connect to the tv, had a problem with Windows 8.1 and it was quicker to use the cable. I do not have ipads. Someday, when I get time, I will try the wireless option again, but for now, online order of hdmi cable was quicker. I used a 30'. Sorry I could not be of more assistance. I did read where 8.1 would work, and during the attempt at install, they recognized each other, and my patience ran out about that time.

You will need to buy a dongle or something similar to connect to your wifi. I haven't bothered, but I think you only get access to a limited number of sites on the internet.

. You can also connect an AP to the network wirelessly via the uplink capability, in which case you only need one cable to get power to the AP. The AP can then connect to the network/internet wirelessly through another UNIFI AP (the second AP is connected
