http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3805/~/list-of-compatible-devices-for-the-wd-tv-live-hd-media-player-and-wd-tv-live is a list of compatible devices. I personally use an AirLink101 AWLL6075 Wireless N Mini USB Adapter though it isn't specifically supported, it works. The Airlink101 AWLL5077 Golden 150Mbps Wireless Mini USB Adapter is similar and is on the official list.

The model I bought is wired usb, but I bet they have a wireless version "somewhere".

yes, this is how I am using it too. I have two wired computers on the WD switch which then connects to a wired port on the wireless router. All work fine.

The WD TV Live is now available at Best Buy! I ordered one on Sunday and picked it up at the store yesterday. The good news is that you can put a USB N dongle on this and you've got a wireless networked player! I used a cheap AirLink 101 AWLL6070 150Mbps 802.11n Wireless LAN USB 2.0 Adapter, which cost me $15. This is fantastic news for all of us who wanted WD to have built-in wireless.

Why don't they just say you need THEIR usb wireless adapter? I tried one I already owned and another one I paid for through my internet provider. This blows!

Just plug in the USB. And as long as you have a wireless network. You're good to go. N, G, B are wireless network types. They are the most common right now.

Um, folks, as someone who WD SENT a free WD Live Plus unit to (because I help out a lot on their forums) I myself am thinking of getting a Popbox. Problem is that the Live Plus has a TON of issues and they aren't planning on resolving them anytime soon (read: maybe sometime next year). I have three Live units (counting the Plus they sent me) and while they do work well *enough* they also have many issues, so unless you do the research (get on the WD forums and start reading, guys -- after you've read about ten thousand messages like I have (and I am the highest poster there) you'll start to know something) I would NOT recommend the Plus right now. On the opposite side, it does Netflix *extremely* well (assuming you discount some of the issues like no component out playing properly, freezing requiring power plug pulling, etc). Truly, if all you want is a Netflix box I'd recommend it highly.

I'm using the Plugable 2.0 version that the manufacturer suggested above, and it's working like a charm for me, for what it's worth. Might save a couple of bucks since the Pi can't use USB 3.0, and get the same outcome otherwise.

The D-Link DWA-125 150Mbps Wireless USB Adapter. I got a refurb and it was about $11.

These are the latest version that WD makes :) I would suggest that you call Western Digital's support line... They are both very helpful and completely knowledgeable about their products...

Update: This thread got me wired just now...Wireless is in the works. [ndiswrapper isn't so friendly to this one for some reason - perhaps I nabbed the wrong wireless driver..]http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7409939

It got to be LG brand. The USB wireless drive has its firmware built-in and its compatible with some certain models LG brand only. I've got LG LED-TV model LE5400 and had tried with some different USB wireless brands like Linksys and Netgear which I have around the house (and borrowing from a friend =), but they were not recognized with my TV. That gave me no other choices but to get LG AN-WF100 wireless, and it works. Its a bit of a pain to pay for a 50 bucks wireless adaptor too expensive comparing to other brands.

I have connected a USB drive and a mouse with this adapter. Not sure what kind of Doble you have in mind?

My subjective experience says yes. I gave the WD TV a try to compare it to the multiple WD TV Lives my family has solely for the purpose of playing content from directly attached USB drives. My experience thus far has been completely hassle free which is a vast improvement over the WD TV Live. I was worried when I attached the second USB drive to the WD TV and it didn't appear to be scanning for the content on the drive; I went to Videos just to see what was there and the content was already displayed (note that this drive had already been connected to a WD TV Live previously but it seemed to simply 'work' when I plugged it into the WD TV).

yes, I recently went to Win8 and it works much better than the built-in wifi. click on the network icon in the lower right and you should see both wifi adaptors if you have 2.
