I am having trouble connecting my wi fi to the player. Is there something else I need to buy to get it to connect to wi fi?

I had the same problem. Unfortunately there is something else you have to buy from Toshiba to actually experience the entire functionality of the player. I was very disappointed! Here is what you have to buy from Toshiba: Shipped Product Code Product Description Unit Cost Total 1 WLM-12NB1 TOSHIBA USB WI-FI ADAPTER FOR BLU RAY PLAYERS BDX2300 AND BDX2400 $59.99 $59.99 Mfg part #: WLM-12NB1

Totally forgot it had that capability Sonya..I also need to connect my Roku to my TV and figure out the wifi situation. Let me try working on that soon. I'll post a review as soon as I can. If you do yours first let me know. :) Thanks! Good luck! -Frank

I'm about ready to give up as well. I just got this player, I updated the firmeware, and now I can't even get into the stupid Media player!!!!! I'm almost ready to take this back to best buy and get a different one. Do you have to restart the computer after the update? I'm going to try that and see if that doesn't work.

This particular device is advertised as a wifi player, but you can only connect to the internet if your player is directly connected to the modem with an ethernet cable. This device is wired not wireless. Something I wish I knew before I bought it.

The player is connected directly to my TV via HDMI cable. I am going to try another TV to see if it works.

Hey! What works best is to just manually set your IP. I went through all of the restarts, scoured the Internet. Pick your IP....192.168.1.xxx. Your gateway and primary dns are 192.168.1.1. Im pretty good at getting tech gear running and this player just didn't play nice with the wireless!

i read a response on the samsung site that said there have been issues when people are uploading firmware via wifi and their wireless network drops the signal - sounds like the best thing to do is download the firmware from your pc to a USB stick and insert that directly into the blue-ray player. I've ordered system but not installed yet.

It provided the network port for you to connect to your NAS server or play the net radio.The player itself has no wifi function.

Beats me. I could not get this player to work for me. I would have sent back except cost more than worth. Sorry I can't help you

You will need to buy a dongle or something similar to connect to your wifi. I haven't bothered, but I think you only get access to a limited number of sites on the internet.

Unfortunately Panasonic does not make this very clear on the BluRay box. The player, depending on model is "wireless ready" but requires the LAN adapter to connect to your wi-fi as it does not have the required circuitry internally to receive and process the wi-fi signal. My Blu Ray was network ready - if I used an ethernet cable, but required the adapter for wifi. I guess it is way to sell an accessory. This is a throwback to early laptops that required a wifi usb adapter to connect.

I tried a netgear adapter first and never could get it to connect. I don't know if it was me or the device. When I tried to use the yamaha adapter I couldn't get it to connect either. I wound up using my free visit from the geeks to get mine working. It works well now.

How did you do this?? I have an extra wireless router sitting around and would hate to have to pay another 80 dollars for a wireless adapter for the bluray player...

use a mini usb jack, like you would a set of headphones. If your player has bluetooth no cord is necessary.

You will have to do it through a computer. The player is not wi-fi equipped. It has a usb cable that connects to a computer.

You don't! This player is meant to hook to an ethernet wire run out of a router. "Wires all over the house" If you want a WIFI get a blu ray player with built in wireless. By the time you get the one wifi adapter that will work with this player you will find it would have been cheaper to get a wireless blu ray. Of course you also need a broadband internet connection to stream video. You can stream video over a cellular connection but expect problems.
