Can I use a USB wireless adapter? Does the USB port support a wireless adapter or do I need a router and ethernet cable?

Good question. If you go to Panasonic's website you can look up the model and click on the support tab. There you can download and view the user manual. You'll see on page 7 a list of USB devices this player is and is not compatible with. My guess is that it will support a USB wireless adapter, but check the list to make sure. If not, it will definately support a wireless access point and ethernet cable. One thing I'll throw out there too is that if you do get a WAP that has more than one output, you could also connect a DirecTV DVR, IPTV or receiver. I have the D-Link DAP1522 connected to my Panasonic DMP-BD35 Blu-ray player (for BD-Live and firmware updates) and DirecTV DVR (for VOD downloads) and still have two ethernet jacks left for the future. With the Panasonic DMP-BD60 you can also access YouTube, Picassa, and will be able to soon access Amazon VOD.

I'm not aware that it does include a USB-to-ethernet adapter. It includes a mini-USB OTG cable though. The "RJ45 Ethernet Adapter" mentioned on some web pages may refer to the onboard RJ45 plug, for wired LAN connectivity. However, I found the wifi to work very well between 2 rooms, over a distance of less than 10m.

Typically, you use the USB port to connect the router to the Internet and then other devices connect via WiFi to access the Internet and the USB shared storage. As for the scenario you described, I doubt it will work...

I am going to say neither, because it is designed to only connect your network via wired or wireless. The unit has USB port to allow you to take normal usb devices such as drives and scanner and share them over your network. It isn't made to accept incoming wireless signal from a computer and grant access to the network.

There are no Ethernet ports. There are no cables nor adapters that come inside box other than AC charger. If you want access to Ethernet, you'll have to purchase an adapter as you've mentioned above either USB2.0 or USB3.0...

Sorry cannot help you. I strictly use it to connect my Dell notebook, which does not have an Ethernet port, to my router.

There is an Ethernet connection socket on the back. It isn't wireless (it's a desktop unit). Having said that, I bought/installed a USB wireless network adapter on the 2 units bought due to difficulties in running cable.

As far as I know the only connections it supports are WiFi and ethernet. The USB is for file sharing.

I think the ethernet cuts out when you plug in the usb, so don't think they both work together.

You can use a USB or an internal wireless adapter. For example, TP-LINK TL-WN881ND Wireless N300 PCI Express Adapter, 2.4GHz 300Mbps, Include Low-profile Bracket or Medialink Wireless-N USB Adapter - 802.11n, 2.4 ghz - Compatible with Windows 8 / Windows 7 / Windows Vista / Windows XP (150 Mbps)

Unless you connect by USB you should not need drivers. Just use a network cord to connect directly to the modem, or to a router in between.

If you already have a wireless network in your house, then you can use his adapter instead of running an ethernet cable from your router to a piece of equipment. You can attach this adapter to a TV, Blu-ray player or any other piece of electronics that has both an ethernet port and a USB port. When it is attached it will allow that piece of equipment to join your wireless network.

No. This is an ethernet to USB device, and not at all wireless. Ethernet will use a standard CAT5 cable.

it has an Ethernet port but if you want to do wireless you need to buy an adapter

It sounds like you need NETGEAR WG111 Wireless USB 3.0 Adapter (54 Mbps) not 2.0

Out of the box it has a wired LAN port. However, it does not have any wireless capability. That can easily be overcome with a very inexpensive wireless PCI card or USB adapter - most of which are essentially plug and play now for easy setup and use.
