I just bought anew Samsung DVD Blu-Ray to hook up to my TV for streaming Netflix, but does not have WiFi capabilities. Would this USB WiFi work?

I would say that it would not work properly. The Linksys AE1200 is designed for a computer USB port so you can use the software to make it function properly. Otherwise I'm not positively sure.

No. This will only work with a Windows OS computer. If your DVD Blu-Ray has an ethernet connection capability, we recommend that you look for an 'Ethernet Bridge' device.

Not sure. But you would be better off buying an outlet wireless adapter that will provide a better connection. The Samsung often drops is signal. Or buy a Samsung blue ray/dvd player. It provides a great wireless connection for you television. Hope this helps.

I'm using mine on a PC, and although the product description now says "SamSung WIS12ABGNX" (I don't recall if it did when I bought it), there may be more to using it on a TV mere hardware compatibility. There can be driver issues.A quick google finds this site talking about using non-samsung adapters on samsung tvs. http://wiki.samygo.tv/index.php5/Using_NoN-Samsung_USB_WiFi_dongles_with_TVSo it's probably a crap shoot on whether its plug-and-play.Do you feel lucky?

Yes. I have a Sony Blu-ray with wifi connected and am using the Blu-ray for connecting to Netflix.

No, not without a separate device with WiFi. This TV is not a "Smart TV". You need something like Roku to be able to access Netflix on this TV.

Ive had some issues with connecting this model to the internet, and i think other people have as well, "I'm not exactly sure if it even is WIFI capable." It only has a network cable port in the back. though i believe i did get the network cable to work. but when i downloaded Netflix, and went to go use Netflix it didn't work, so i just use my Ps3, Xbox, or blue-ray player, to stream stuff. sorry i cant answer your question, but i figured i would post you my the problems i have had. good luck.

No, no Netflix. But it can pull data from a USB flash drive or connected external drive in addition to the hard drive installed in the unit. It also has wireless capabilities if you buy a compatible wifi USB device. Great product, a little noisy, but very satisfied.

I'm going to have to go with a safe answer and say no. I'm not 100% sure that I am correct on this, but I don't think it will work. You will probably have to use Samsung's own adapter that they have. It is called a LinkStick. Most usb wireless adapters are going to require a driver to make it work, and you don't have a way to do that with your tv. I would do a search for Linkstick in the Amazon search and look at the ones that come up. If you look at the reviews for them there have been a lot of people posting what models each one seems to work with.

i read a response on the samsung site that said there have been issues when people are uploading firmware via wifi and their wireless network drops the signal - sounds like the best thing to do is download the firmware from your pc to a USB stick and insert that directly into the blue-ray player. I've ordered system but not installed yet.

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.

You don't! This player is meant to hook to an ethernet wire run out of a router. "Wires all over the house" If you want a WIFI get a blu ray player with built in wireless. By the time you get the one wifi adapter that will work with this player you will find it would have been cheaper to get a wireless blu ray. Of course you also need a broadband internet connection to stream video. You can stream video over a cellular connection but expect problems.

I don't know. I have been able to use it on anything with USB plug. If it has an app that you need to type or uses mouse I am sure it would work. Mine works also on DVD/Blue ray player with Netflix app. Good luck

Regular Lan adaptor won't work. You have to buy one from Samsung, and it costs more that the blu Ray player. Like Sony stuff...it's propriatory!

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!

Yes, but because it doesn't have wi fi built in, you will either need to run an ethernet cable to it from where the router is, but if you have a wireless router, use can use a wi fi extender that allows you to plug an ethernet cable into it to the blu ray player or use a powerline ethernet adapter to connect an ethernet cable to the blu ray (that will run the Internet to other areas of your house using the power grid & power outlets in your home). The last is the best method I found, as the wif fi extender would drop signal sometimes, but the powerline adapter doesn't & gives me a better connection.

a samsung wifi adapter designed for their old blu-ray players.Samsung's Wi-Fi adapter (WIS09ABGN), that you can get in amazon for 30 bucks. personally I'd prefer a lan cable that suplies me a more stable conection

M, sorry, but I'm not going to be much help with this question. I stream off Netflix and Hulu. Also watch DVDs via a blu-ray player hooked to the TV via HDMI. There are 2 USB ports on the TV, however.
