I have a dvd player that has internet capabilities and my college lets people hook xboxes up so it automatically goes past the password sign-in, but how can i hook it up to the dvd player? The university offers wii, PS3, xbox360 but does one of these work for an LG blu ray did player?

Answer
your DVD player needs a wireless network adapter (little USB adapter usually ~$50).

Difference between wifi ready dvd player and just network dvd player?

EZ

I see a few dvd players that are listed as "wifi ready" but wife adapter is not included, you have to buy one to connect to the wireless network. While the "network players" have ethernet port, so you can connect to wireless too if you buy an adapter.

So is there any difference at all? "Wife ready" vs "Ethernet port" dvd player?

Answer
WiFi ready more than likely means that there is an adapter available from the manufacturer, although it will be premium price compared to commodity adapters for computers.

You can use a Wireless-Ethernet bridge, such as a Netgear WNCE-2001, on any network ready Blu-Ray player with an Ethernet jack, although if you want to use online streaming, you should hard wire to your router if at all possible.
