If your TV has Ethernet connection socket, then this device can help you connect the TV to internet. The device is able to harness WiFi signal and output it through Ethernet port. Then you can connect your TV through Ethernet cable.

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.

Yea, this is really a buzz kill that none of the Sony Internet ready TVs seem to either have WiFI N built-in nor does Sony sell a proprietary WiFi USB dongle as an option like Samsung. The Linksys bridge is a lame way to get WiFi given the poor quality of Linksys and having to connect it to a bridge kind of ruins the while reason for having a wall mount TV. The Sony's do seem to have the best picture and the Yahoo Gadgets is very cool if not a real game changer (the App Store for TVs) but Sony seems to have really dropped the ball by not having a better WiFi N option for their TVs.

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.

Yes and no. Yes you can connet your router to your TV but this will not give you access to the internet, you need a computer to do that. The only internet acces you will have is if your TV has built in Apps such as NetFlix ect. You can run your computer through your TV by using a Switch in combination with your router. Unless you are knowlegable in computers, I wouln't suggest you try it because it does take some technical expertise to accomplish. Sorry I coudn't be more helpful.

Yes... you can connect the TV to the internet wirelessly. Hope you did not mean to ask if you can connect other devices to the TV to access internet through the TV, if yes the answer is no you cannot.

It would connect your tv to wifi, though your tv might not have the software two interact with the network. Check and see if your tv software can be upgraded to surf the internet, if not your wasting your time and money.

Regular Lan adaptor won't work. You have to buy one from Samsung, and it costs more that the blu Ray player. Like Sony stuff...it's propriatory!

I managed to connect with wifi-n. The problem is the TV is very slow and it's preferable to add a third party streamer.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. Are you wanting to plug in your TV via ethernet cable running from your wireless router... if so yes it will work. I'm not sure if its going to work from your wifi extender BUT in theory yes it will. I have a gaming adapter behind my TV and I run Ethernet from it (the adapter) to the TV and it works BEAUTIFULLY. Also you MIGHT need to set up your extender as a media center. If you cannot do that, a $30ish dollar gaming adapter works wonderfully!

The only way you will be able to utilize the AV500 is in a hardwired manner. It does not rebroadcast WiFi signals. You would need a repeater for that purpose, providing the smart TV has Internal WiFi, which some do. Most have an Ethernet plug to attach your signal. The AV500 extends wired signals through your AC lines in the house. Kind of like stringing a really long CAT5/6 Ethernet cable through your house between your router to your TV. If you want to extend the range of your WiFi, use a TP-Link TL-WA854RE Range Extender (repeater) or one of it's brethren. There are several models depending on the data rate (speed) you desire. Funny, I just got one in the mail today. No kidding. So, no. It will not extend your WiFi. If I may make a suggestion, take a look at NewEggFlash today at a product called an Edimax CV-7438nDM Wireless Bridge Adaptor. It's an inexpensive little toy that you might find useful in the near future. Get one quick; it's only $20 w/free shipping. I ordered one today too. Recommendation: Plug your AV500's directly into the outlets and away from other things. They are allergic to power strips and they tend to get pretty warm from dealing with the AC electricity, ok. If for some reason they don't work, try a different outlet. They prefer being on the same wired circuit. I hope I helped.

According to the website http://www.sony.lv/product/tv-117-46-lcd/kdl-46ex520/features#tab, it works on your TV:FeaturesKDL-46EX520Ready for wireless connection to the Internet - Wireless LAN-Ready so you can add a UWA-BR100 USB Wi-Fi® adaptor from Sony and connect to your Internet router without cables

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 bought a sony blu ray player with netflix capability, but apparently I need to buy a usb wireless LAN adapter to be able to connect the player to the net and pick up netflix. Will this adapter work for that?

If I remember correctly you need to use the Ethernet port on the back of the TV and connect to your router directly. Not many people have this close to their TV though.... then sign up for amazon. The few movies I watched were decent. If it was wireless it would be easier.....

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.

You can purchase a wireless bridge that can extend your internet access. I would personally really recommend you run ethernet directly to the unit to ensure best performance. Lmk if I can help you further!
