ToTo raises an excellent point that I didn't even consider - sharing your Internet connection from your laptop with your BR player. It may be what you need.
You could get your BR player on your network by either using an Ethernet WIFI adapter or by using an Powerline Ethernet adapter/bridge.
With Powerline Ethernet you usually get two adapters. One adapter plugs into an A/C outlet near your player, and you connect the player's ethernet to the adapter. The other plugs into an A/C outlet near your WIFI router, and you plug another Ethernet cable into the second adapter from your router. Then the magic should happen - your BR player should appear on your network. I've used such adapters and they've performed well for me. I think they work well and are cheaper and easier to setup than WIFI adapters. but that's your other option.

How do Blu-ray players stream Netflix?
I have been waiting for my old DVD player to die before getting a blu-ray player. It isn't dead yet, but is certainly getting close. I have heard that many blu-ray players are capable of streaming videos from sites like Netflix, but I'm not sure what the details about it are:
1. Do I need a separate internet account from what I use on the computers in my house?
2. Does it operate by Wi-Fi or do I need to plug it directly into the internet line/modem?
3. Do blu-ray players come with different levels of processor/memory? I'd want one that will stream without hangups.
4. Is 3D capability worth getting? I would only rent or stream movies, so no permanent collection of 3D films.
5. I'm looking at also getting a new TV, as my old one is one of the early model HDTVs and is heavy and getting old. Any recommendations for a TV and Blu-ray that work well together? I'm trying to stay below $500, but will look up to $1,000 if it makes a big difference in quality.
Answer
1. No it uses the same
2. That depends on the bluray player itself. Some have wifi built it and some require you buy an additional dongle.
3. They pretty much stream the same
4. Yes it is, but the TV AND bluray both need to have that capability
5. Not really, just dont get one that is too cheap. You get what you pay for
