best dvd players with built in wifi image
Wayne
As I begin the process of buying a Blueray player, I'm confused over those that have wifi. I guess I don't know why a player needs an internet connection. Could someone fill me in on this?
Answer
1. the biggest reason why it would need an internet connection is if you bought it in hopes of streaming netflix/youtube/pandora radio etc. most people want a wireless connection because they do not want to deal with wires and running them etc, i would still recommend going wired especially if you are watching hd video since a wireless connection usually wont have the speeds necessary for hd video.
2. you can download apps to your smartphone ipod touch etc, so that you can use them as a remote, or to pass files from one source to another, example would be, if you wanted to look at the pictures in your phone on your tv you can do that through your bluray player.
3. this was the original reason why bluray players wanted/needed an internet connection, firmware updates, with bluray discs the way they are manufactured changes, they constantly improve the way its done to give you better performance, and with that you need to update the firmware so that it can continue to read all the new bluray movies out there. it just makes it easier being able to download the firmware directly to the machine vs having to download it to your pc and then burning it to a disc etc.
wifi isnt that necessary. but if you ever plan on going wifi then i would advise buying it with it built in versus buying the adaptor which costs more than the 2 combined. and usually 30-40 more. plus most retail stores have deals from the manufacture that will give away a free adaptor.

How do you hook up a Blu Ray DVD player that doesn't have build in wifi to the internet?

I just bought a Blu Ray Home Theater System that streams Netflix, Youtube, etc. But it doesn't have built in Wifi.
I have a wireless router from Comcast, but it's way behind the computer. Do I need to buy something else?

Answer
You just need a wireless adapter. Your bluray player should have a Ethernet slot. Plug that into wireless adapter. Not sure the actual name for the device. Just ask at best buy or an electronics store. If you could run Ethernet cable to router than that's easier because you wouldnt have to buy the adapter but buying that might be cheaper than buying a long enough ethernet cable.
