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.

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.

Hi Steve:The firmware for my LG tv only allows to connect with Wireless routers and not with my LG blu-ray deviceThe only way to connect this blu ray it is by using an HDMI port, there is no way to connect wireless TV vs blu ray devices. The only way should be by changing the sofftware fimware from my TV, Which only depends on theLG manufacturer.RegardsSMM

RJ45 would be the cable that most routers use. I'm not familiar with blu ray devices but if it has jack that is listed as RJ45 then this should work.

Yes, this unit has wireless wifi capability, BUT you have to buy the USB dongle. My experience is that performance is inconsistent, and too often I would get a message saying my internet connection was too slow, after multiple long pauses for rebuffering. This was particularly a problem with streaming Netflix. Now I only use the unit for the audio for my home theatre system, because the Blu-Ray player won't play Blu-Rays and can't be updated, and the issues with the wifi reception.

You will need an Ethernet cable to connect to your router. This will make you system connected to your wireless network.

Not positive, but I beleive it must connect via 802.11 wireless and not bluetoooth

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.

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.

It will work, but it will also drag down the connection speed of attached devices since they will only be able to operate at 'G' speeds. You'll want to find one of the newer modules that support 802.11n if you don't want to affect other devices on the same wifi network (media streamers, Apple TVs, netflix, etc).

Yes Wifi is all backwards compatible with older networks like your 802.11g router.

As far as the cord is concerned, yes. LAN(local area network) refers to what is on the user(your) side of your router. Ethernet is more general term. Yes, you can use this cable to connect your Blu ray player that connects to the internet by wire, to your router.

Though there are various types of smart Sony Blu-ray players on the market, first check if the Blu-ray is internet ready or have a usb port for wifi. If the player does have one or the other, D-link would be great for it. The reason would be, the D-link is a wireless wifi adapter. It would let you connect to your network, instead connecting with cables. I loved this thing, but daughter and husband needed it for their old computer with no wifi on board. Hopes this helps.Thank you, for asking.November

It doesn't have built in wifi, but if your blue-ray player or roku or xbox has internet capability, you should be set.
