I have the same problem. I contacted Sony customer service and they were no help, however they are sending me the lastest firmware update on disc to see if that fixes anything. Have you found any resolutions yet?

Go to the SONY website and download the firmware update ... router/Internet connection problems gone in a heartbeat!

I bought a sony blu ray player with netflix capability, but apparently I need to buy a usb wireless LAN adapter to be able to connect the player to the net and pick up netflix. Will this adapter work for that?

I talked to Sony Support people and the problem is not the Blu-Ray. The player is working just fine, but since it is connected to a Home Theater, the receiver needs to be updated in order to play 3D movies. So, If some of you have a similar problem, Don't panic!!!, check the Blu-Ray firmware as well as the home theater.

I don't think this is the one per Sony's parts website below: http://store.sony.com/blu-ray-disc-player-with-super-wi-fi-zid27-BDPS3100/cat-27-catid-EOL-Blu-ray-DVD-Internet-Players;pgid=pnpuUTRUw61SRpb1xl08j8ub0000tzYM__qN?_t=pfm%3Dsearch%26SearchTerm%3DBDP-S3100Remote part# RMT-B119AThis is the part# to punch in the Amazon search box.

Works well with my Sony Blu Ray player so I don't see why not. Stream is consistent with no buffering. 802.11n

I have this same issue with an earlier model (BDP-S350). For me the problem began when my blu-ray player automatically updated its firmware last spring. Even blu-ray disks that played fine earlier stopped playing, although many of the new disks that I've tried work fine. Sony appears to be oblivious to this issue not providing any meaningful customer support. There are several possible solutions posted on the SONY website and on various discussion forums for other models (e.g, turn off the Internet access, clear the USB jump drive memory, unplug the unit from the AC power for a minute or two). None of them worked in my case. I finally gave up and bought a new Panasonic player; out of principle I persisted in trying to 'fix' my Sony blu-ray player for quite a while and eventually decided to pay a few buck to buy my way out of the aggravation). Bye, bye Sony products, hello Panasonic (They also burned me years ago for discontinuing support [e.g., driver updates] for one of their expensive Vaio computers.).

Netflix, Xfinity, amazon prime all work fine for me. Probably the other people have network issues and not the devices fault. I also play tons of different video types using my local network. (using Es File Explorer)

There is also an area where you can manually set black levels which may help. Your problem seems a little different than mine. I have the TV, Pioneer Receiver, and PS3 as the Blu-Ray player. I haven't had a problem since I switched it to standard mode.

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

Update....I connected the blueray player via ethernet cable to the router. I downloaded the newest firmware via cd-r on my computer and placed it in the player and Behold!!!! after going to menu and going to the network menu for updates, it well ,, updated...which took some 20 or so minutes. I then had to reintroduce the player to the samsung wireless Lan which the player accommodated. I am now up and running netflix, pandora, also utube and blockbuster were added to the configuration. Don't try to waste any more valuable time trying to figure out gateway ping and simply disconnect the Lan and hook the player via ethernet cable or you will never get anywhere.

I just purchased the Samsung BD-P3600 blu-ray players and I'm having the same problem as posted by C. Wagnon; anyone out there has a solution! If I can't use the wifi connection, I'll be returning the darn player!

Not sure what your error is, just got mine today and did an update. netflix was fine. I got netflix to work on my old ps3, wii and now this. Setup is awkward where you have to get info from your blu-ray player and look onto the computer, back and forth, but I got it done and it works fine. The PS3 layout is way better, you can search for movie, here all you get is what is in your queue.

Works fine from PS3. My guess would be that Netflix is a competitor to the Vudu provider who does most of the internet connectivity "channels" on this set, hence the exclusion. This actually works fine for me so far, since I have yet to get the audio return channel working from any of the internet "channels".

I haven't found the browser function to work all that well on any of my Sony Blu Ray players. Probably due to lack of Flash support
