Need Help: Netflix and new Samsung TV

by Gail.Piazza - 2/11/09 7:54 PM

I just bought a Samsung ln52a850 tv, a Samsung 2500 blue ray and Samsung infolink wireless LAN adapter. How do I set up Netflix instant streaming? Can I do it wireless? Thanks.

Wireless adapter not an option

I also just purchased the Samsung BD-P2500 and from everything I have read and found, a wireless adapter is not an option, it must be an RJ45 connection.

That said, there are a variety of options.

- Run a Cat 5 connection to your entertainment center
- Run Ethernet over Power
- Purchase a wireless Ethernet bridge. (http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-WET54G-Wireless-G-Ethernet-Bridge/dp/B00008WMBT)

Good Luck

InfoLink wireless adapter

Gail.Piazza,

The InfoLink adapter is specifically for connecting the InfoLink services (News, Stocks, Weather), and is intended to connect only to a wireless router for those services.

There are cases where people have been successful with adapters to wirelessly connect the Blu-Ray to the internet, but we don't provide support for that functionality "officially".

Hope that helps!

Ethernet over Power

To follow up my last reply.

I did some more research, and I decided on the NetGear Ethernet Extender.

Works like a charm. Just plug it in, and it works!

I've been watching the Office at HD quality all weekend!

Considering the expense and time involved in running new Cat5 to the room, this is a great solution!
