Samsung Blu-Ray and Sasmung TV connect only occasionally

by freddy_mt - 12/31/10 11:45 AM

I have a Samsung LED TV with Samsung's wireless dongle. I also have a Samsung Blu-Ray with Samsung's wireless dongle. They both have identical problems that are hinted at in the forums, and I believe i have also tried every fix listed for connection problem including purchasing a new router (was using Linksys, now 'N" DLink):

I can connect both devices to the wireless...occasionally. I usually have to wait at least five minutes after turning either device on to try to connect to the wireless. And then it MIGHT connect. If I try before 5 mins, it will not connect for the at least the next few days. I have seven wireless devices connected to my wireless with zero issues.

Any thoughts from the forums? Many thanks for taking the time to read this.

Then nothing will help but a wifi or powerline bridge. But go ahead and read another fix at http://forums.cnet.com/7723-7589_102-511883.html?tag=threadListing;forum-threads

The nice thing is they didn't dig in their heels by stating it all works with seven devices.

I've been fighting this issue for 8 months. I'm not digging in my heels. I'm being drug down the road by the horse. I've tried every new post that comes up as a solution. Wish I could say it's a distance issue, but remember those seven devices? Same distance. (about 25 feet).

thanks for the reply.
Freddy

But did you follow the same ideas? I read you write about seven devices and then your post stopped and didn't write if you tried the Cnet Networking Forum ideas.

Again, I can't explain why some will not try it because they have working devices. I know this is hard stuff but I'll help where I can.
