Yes you can. It will work very well. You need to configure it with your wireless router. It will be connected to usb on your tv for power and the other cable to Ethernet connection on your tv. No drivers needed, tv "thinks" it is connected to a wired network. I used it with my Panasonic tv. It works like a charm.

If your Samsung TV has built-in WiFi and is internet ready. Why, would you need this? you should be able to pick your WiFi signal thought your wireless router and connect your TV to it. The Edup Ep-ms8512 is a wireless adapter that has two uses. One, use it as WiFi booster to get better signal to a computer or laptop. Two, use as a wireless adapter when a laptop or computer desktop does not have a wireless card inside. I don't think it can be used to make a TV wireless because it's not supported for that. Hope this help.

It would probably depend on how strong the signal is from the public network. I have had this NetGear universal wifi adapter for a few years now and it has worked with everything that I've plugged it into. Still working. Recently hooked it up to my Blu-ray player that has built in wifi but was getting a weak signal...improved signal reception a lot.

I don't see what the wi-fi adaptor has to do with your choice of cd/dvd player. The Sony TV MUST have a Sony wiFi adaptor though, other brands do not seem to work. The Sony wifi adaptor has a pretty crappy antenna, and needs to be pretty close to your wifi router to get a good signal. I would guess you have your BluRay connected to a central receiver/amplifier with physical cable?

The TV has WIFI compatability and should allow you to browse, however I have not used this feature. According to my conversation with Sony customer support the TV is equipped with the browser feature.

Yes, it does not enable wifi to your tv. It just connect to the ethernet port of your tv. The only Requirement is you have ethernet port on your tv. It is not a wifi dongle or adapter

The XBR9 does not have a built-in WiFi adapter unlike the LG BD390. Your TV should be connected to your router either with an ethernet cable or through a wireless bridge. Sony officially supports Linksys by Cisco WET610N Wireless-N Ethernet Bridge with Dual-Band. See http://esupport.sony.com/referencebook/en/xbr9/pages/gettingstarted/networksetup.html

Mine worked fine. Then it updated the firmware and after that it keeps saying cannot connect to the internet. My DHCP is already on..so don't know what else to fix. Will try to shut down and restart everything. Let me see if that works. Annoying. I heard complaints about network on Sony and decided to buy this. May be time to get Sony!

sure...if you hook up a PS3 or 4, Amazon Fire TV, or Fire TV stick. Last i checked, it was not available directly with the TV's internet connectivity. I have not tried even used the TV's integrated internet since 2010 or so.

I don't know. I just checked sony's instructions online on how to connect my device to Wi-Fi and it specifically said to use this adapter. My others at home were not recognized when I tried to use them. If suggest checking Sony's website before buying.

Kent and Janean: sorry I did not understand the question. I do not have an answer since my bluray player has always been hardwired ethernet cable. Quick search does not identify a wifi connection that will work with Sony other than what Sony sells. Amazon shows it at $64.95.

Sorry - I have no idea! Once you hook the Netgear player to your tv it should guide you through the steps to access your wireless internet service.

Most likely you will have to buy Sony's own Wifi Adapter:Sony USB Wi-Fi AdapterAt least that is true for Sony BDP-BX37 1080p Upscaling Blu-ray Disc DVD Player w/HDMI, LAN & USB from what all the reviews are saying.Sorry for the bad news. Hope you have a happy New Year!

I have used it as an extender. I am not sure that you can hook it up to get wifi

Leigh, we also have the problem with "no internet access." So far, I haven't found any real solution except for unplugging and replugging the adapter. The tech guy from Medialink couldn't figure out the problem either.

You only need this adapter if you want your tv to be the device that communicates with your internet network and be able to connect to the internt. If you have a device such as a blue ray or other component that connects to the internet you should be able to send the internet video feed from your device to your tv through and hdmi cord. With that said, I like being able to connect to the internet without having to worry about having any other device on (one less thing to go wrong and worry about). The wireless adapter is fast and allows me to stream movies no problem.
