My TV doesn't have its own ethernet port so its connected to the net via my Bluray player which is. Will this device work via the Bluray player?

If your Blu-ray is attached to your network via ethernet, then this will allow you to connect it via wifi. If your Blu-ray player is already wireless, then this is redundant and not necessary.

The previous answer was perfect. I would only add that, if the available wireless connection uses the 2.4GHz band, the 5GHz band provided by the Belkin device probably would improve the connection quality.

The two I have (Netgear and Roku) both demand hdmi cables to connect the player to the TV--the only signal output is an hdmi connection.

You'll plug it into the HDMI Out on the device you want to transmit to the TV/monitor. In other words, if your bluray is plugged into your receiver then the HDMI out is from the receiver. If it's not go direct from the bluray. You'll lose the other items that use you AVA receiver though so if you have a ppv option on you cable or satelite box you lose this option. Got it?

No it will not work. It only has 1 HDMI output. You may be able to buy an adapter cable that converts an HDMI CABLE to standard component cables, but not sure if that even exists, nor would the quality of Bluray show through standard cables. Your best bet would be to buy a standard DVD player with or without WI-FI depending on what you want to do. Also just throwing it out there, there DVD players that wireless connectivity, and/or ones with an Ethernet plug.Good luck!

Alright, thanks for answering! I think I'll have to get a hdmi to vga converter to at least have the picture in HD then buy a bluray player later on.

Help this is a old post, but you mention you are using a powerline adapter to run internet from router to tv area. I have a powerline adapter connected to my blue ray player and now I realize that I need to connect my direct tv reciever to the internet as well to get the on demand features and I do not know how to share the powerline adapter so that they both can get the internet, what hub are you using and does this mena that the powerline adapter is connected to the hub and the ethernet cable from the direct tv reciever and blue ray player are plugged into the hub thanks for the help

It depends on whether the coaxial port on your tv is input or output. If the coaxial for your tv is for sound output, then yes. If the coaxial plug for the back of your tv is input, then no, this device will not work. My sound bar is fed by my bluray's coaxial cable, which goes through this device, and then to my sound bar with an optical cable. In summary, if your TV's coaxial port in your TV is for 'output' then yes, this device will work. My TV has no output ports, so that's why I run mine from my blu-ray. Hope this helps.

this player is internet ready, you just have to have internet access via a wireless router in your home and know the name and password of the signal emitted by your router (SSID name and PASSWORD). The initial on screen configuration on the bluray will guide you through the setup process.Hope help you.

Yes. I have an Xbox 360 bluray player cable cord and an Ethernet cable going to it.

This device did not work properly with a bluray player and a TV plugged into it. It kept switching to the other device even though the other device was selected. I do not use it any longer.

I believe there is an amazon instant video app now available for SmartHub. So. You would connect the blu ray player to your network, download updates, install amazon instant video app, then you can watch amazon tv through the bluray's "Smart" features.*Based on Charlie's response, perhaps the streaming app was never released for the blu ray player.. As he suggested though you may want to look into adding a Roku - I bought a refurb roku 2 xs for 48 bucks shipped and it's great. Roku 3 is not worth it if you're mainly looking to stream content*

I use the optical connection from my TV. So two other inputs are available, RCA type right and left and a minijack. So if your bluray can adapt to either of these two inputs, the answer is yes.

How did you do this?? I have an extra wireless router sitting around and would hate to have to pay another 80 dollars for a wireless adapter for the bluray player...

This is not a smart tv, so it would need a bluray player connected to the internet, an external computer plugged into the tv or some game console (xbox, play station)

I tried it but it didn't work. I bought a cable which connected the router to the TV perfectly.

If you need to attach both the Receiver AND a BluRay DVD player to your wired network, and you only have a single Ethernet cable where your receiver and BluRay are located, you may need to purchase an Ethernet switch. Netgear's GS-105 is a good example (about $30 on Amazon). One Ethernet cable in, then up to 4 Ethernet cables out to various devices. A switch requires its own electric power to function. Everything you need comes in the box with the switch. Wired components find their addresses automatically when you connect them to the switch.

No. It is meant for a computer. It does not include any software for your bluray player. Why not get an Apple TV, Google Chromecast, Ruko, or Amazon Fire TV. They are designed for exactly what you need and some are cheaper than the Asus you are looking at. Heck for the price of the Asus adapter you could buy a WiFi enabled bluray player.
