Can i use the apple tv3 to connect a blu-ray player to the internet through the ethernet port?

I Have a blu-ray player which can access teh internet but only through a wired connection. Unfortunately, do to some renovating a can't really pass a wire from my router to the player. I was thinking of getting the express base station and hooking up an ethernet cable and getting it to connect that wy. However, for just an extra 10$ i can get teh apple tv and started to wonder if it would do the same.
Anybody know if i connect an an ethernet cable between my blu-ray player and apple tv3 if it will be able to connect to the internet?
Thanks for you help!

Your blu-ray play can't play to your AppleTV, neither using a wired connection or wi-fi.
AppleTV only support compressed format.  Therefore, your AppleTV require your content to be within your iTunes library and on the supported format; http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html
There are however wireless devices on which you can plug an HDMI cable.  I don't know the price of such wireless devices but you'll find them on the net.

  • Can I use the Ethernet Port for a computer when it is also used as a wireless network with an Airport Extreme as the access point for the wireless network

    Can I use the Ethernet Port  of the A1264 Airport Express to connect to the Ethernet port of a computer that does not have wireless capability when the Airport Express is also used on a wireless network with an Airport Extreme 5th generation as the access point for the network?
    I have AE 5th gen
    looking to buy (from ebay) the AEX A1264
    Various computers, printers and hubs for the network
    Is this possible to do?

    Bob, Thanks for the info. I have read different articles that said yes, but I wanted to make sure before I commit to buy. I have an older A1084 which I could not use the Ethernet port. I know at one point I was able to when I was on 10.4. Now that I am on an Intel processor and 10.8 I am going to have to upgrade some of my Apple wireless hardware.
    Thanks Again.

  • Can I use the ethernet port ....

    Can I use the ethernet port on the ATV to connect my blue ray p[layer to the internet using the ATV as a wireless card??
    If so how??

    I might be next in line on the airport extreme! Right now wireless is working better since the latest upgrade to iTunes, but hardwire is the way to go. Only problem is that ISP connections is in my office and my Home Media is downstairs. I was thinking of setting the Airport Extreme as a repeater in order to access ISP and then used the ports in the back for iTunes and ATV.

  • I can not use the Ethernet Port to connect another device.  My Airport Express allowed me to do this.

    I want to use the Ethernet Port for my Apply TV for another device (Direct TV box), but it doesn't work.  I have Airport Express with an Ethernet port and I was able to plug my Direct TV box to download.

    It's not designed to extend a network, and plugging in ethernet disables wi-fi in any case.

  • Can I use the Airport Express to connect to a Linksys Wireless Network and then use the Ethernet port on the Airport for a wired connection to a device for internet access?  Would I be able to then also use that Ethernet pt to a Ntwk Hub for more wired c

    Thanks for the help.  Looked but not clear on what I am trying to do as being possible.  Can I use an Airport Express to connect wireless to a Linksys Wireless Router, such that I can then use the Ethernet ports on the Airport to either connected to a PC wired, or even use a hub off the Airport Express to allow multiple wired connections to it? 
    I am not looking to have the Airport Express extend my wireless network, just connect to it and provide me wired connections in a different location from where my Linksys Route is located.  Would prefer to replace Linksys with all Apple, but just not possible financially yet.  Thanks for the help.

    If the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is an 802.11n model, then yes, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, the AX would join the wireless network provided by the Linksys router and its Ethernet port would be enabled for either a single wired device or for an Ethernet hub or switch for multiple devices.

    Can I use non-apple notebook to connect AirPort Extreme?

    He might be trying to do so to promote his products or may be there was some misunderstanding.
    Airport Extreme will work as a wireless router supporting upto 50 systems including Mac computers, PCs, iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, Apple TV and virtually all 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi wireless devices — all at the same time.

  • How can i use the parallel port

    I was wondering how to adress my PC´s
    parallel port. I did'nt find a suitable

    Do I have to read/write somehow directly

    If so, how can this be done ?
    Thanks for any help,

    Use VISA to read/write to the parallel port just like you would read/write
    to the serial port. I would staty away from the inport/outport stuff. I believe
    there's some articles in the KnowledgeBase if you get stuck.

  • Connecting a blu-ray player wirelessly

    Hello,
    I am trying to connect a blu-ray player wirelessly and it is asking for my WEP/WPA2 authentication. I know the password for my wireless network, what else do I need and where can I find it?
    Thanks!

    Sorry, I forgot details! The blu-ray player is a Magnavox model number MBP5120F/F7 and it seems like a lot of people have issues connecting with this one ****!
    Also, I am not overly proficient in computer lingo...sorry!

  • HT204370 If I buy a movie on iTunes and burn it to a DVD can I get to to play in a DVD/Blu-ray player?  I haven't had much luck trying to do so.

    If I buy a movie on iTunes and burn it to a DVD can I get to to play in a DVD/Blu-ray player?  I haven't had much luck trying to do so.

    No you cannot.
    You can only make a backup dvd of your movies, fo use in itunes on yur computer.  You cannot burn a video product to dvd to watch on a dvd player, just as you cannot copy a dvd that you purchase.

  • Connecting my blu ray player to FiOS router/modem for Netflix streaming

    With the proper connections, my Blu ray player can stream films from Netflix.  How do I go about connecting my Blu ray player to the FiOS equipment?  Has Verizon provided me with both a wireless router and modem?  Is the Verizon wireless router already connected to a modem with a LAN cable?

  • Can I use the WAN port on my AirPortExpress to extend my WiFi from my Time Capsule?

    OK folks, here's what I want to do.  I have a Time Capsule not only supplying WiFi, but also connected to the ethernet in my home.  What I want to do is use the ethernet to connect my AirPort Express and extend the WiFi signal.  I've tried various settings configurations and the closest I get is a duplicate network.  This causes problems for Home Sharing of iTunes accounts to my 2 Apple TV's, one that is connected to ethernet and the other WiFi.  Plus, it seems to confuse our iPhones and another WiFi computer from time to time.
    So can this even be done, is there another option I'm missing? We are trying to use this in a room for the AirPlay feature and the original WiFi signal drops pretty regularly, so moving it closer to the TC is a last resort.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Hi - if what you want to do is have the Express produce a wireless network with a new name then you need to configure it in the following way - it should be set to connect via ethernet in bridge mode and set to "create a wireless network" with a new name and password of your choice - if you need specific steps let me know.

  • Can I activate the ethernet ports (routing) of Time Capsule "joining" an existing non-Apple wireless network ?

    Hello,
    I have a DSL modem that is also a WIFI router as my main WIFI network from room A. In room B, I have a TC wirelessly joining the existing WIFI network (not creating a new one). That works fine, I have one SSID, and I can wirelessly access the TC disks and backup my Mac on my TC.
    Now, I would like to connect a wired device (with on WIFI) to the ethernet port of my TC. Unfortunately, the ethernet ports of the TC don't seem to be "activated" as they do not have internet on them.
    More precisely, I'd like to connect a GE Cordless Skype Phone Model# 31591 (http://www.gephones.com/products/skype/dect-6-0-expandable-digital-cordless-phon e-with-skypetm.html) that connects to a router via Ethernet. I'm aware that I could simply connect it to the DLS router, but that's not what I want... Is there any way to activate the ethernet ports of the TC while in "join" mode ? Or do I really have to buy a Airport Express to create my main network and then extend it ?!?

    Thanks, the reason why I asked again, is because you told me to start another thread with the specifics of the device I want to connect, so I did
    Not a big deal, and it is easy to become confused.....but to be clear about this  
    Your question.....
    is there a way I can connect my Bluray player to the TC ?
    My Answer.....
    Please start a new post for that. Tell us the make and model number of the player and whether you plan to connect using wireless or Ethernet.
    so I tried to creat the main WIFI network with a first-generation Airport Express M9470LL/A (802.11b/g, no "draft N" or "n" support) and the TC wouldn't extend it either, is it too old/not supported
    Unfortunately, the "extend" setup will only work with "n" devices.  The older Express does not have a setting to "Allow this network to be extended", so the Time Capsule cannot pick up the signal.
    I'm not sure what else to suggest other than what I already have.  I'm assuming that you do not want to buy another new Airport Express.

  • How can we use the SDXC PORT ?

    Hi,
    Im intending to buy a Macbook pro 15" and i wonder how can i use the SDXC to boot my future macbook.
    I heard there is out there some cards to make it boot faster. I am not talking here about sd camera cards.
    And do you think i made the right choice by choosing the 15" 2.2 ghz i7 ?
    Thank you

    There's only one way to make your "mac faster and use it every day"—replace the internal disk drive with an SSD, or replace the internal SSD with a bigger and faster SSD.
    Disk I/O has alwas been the main bottleneck of all computers. So you either make it occur faster or you reduce de times it needs to occur.
    In the "faster" section, the issues I have with SSDs are several:
    Their price still needs to go down way more. The cost per MB of SSD-based storage is still vastly greater than that of HDDs. Yes, if you compute in extreme environments like karting down Baja or skydiving off the Himalayas, a ruggedized SSD is great, but most of us mortals live in the safe confines of a homey office.
    The size of SSDs has to expand much more. Yes, they are inching up to the 500GB size, but HDDs are at 1TB and promise to break that barrier before the year is out.
    If you purchase your SSD preinstalled in your Mac, you will be paying a big premium, compared to marketplace SSDs, even those from the same maker but not Apple-branded. This also applies to RAM.
    If you put in a non-Apple-branded SSD, Lion will not enable TRIM support by default and you will have to go "under the hood" to enable it. Without TRIM, you will not get the full performance and durability benefit of an SSD.
    Might be me, but I prefer to stick with HDDs for now, just making sure they are of 7200RPM spindle speed.
    In the "reduce" section, must point out that Lion is a 64-bit beast. Meaning that all data structures are twice the size of previous 32-bit cats. Regardless of "minimum" specs, 4GB RAM is the new practical minimum and 8GB makes the fat cat much happier. But buying RAM from Apple is not a financially wise decision; an 8GB upgrade from reputable vendors can be had for around $40, in stark comparison to the $200 premium charged by the Apple store. For the same $200 or a bit less, you can get a 16GB upgrade instead, not officially sanctioned but that works just fine with the latest model Macs. In this case, I don't think the OP will need as much, but it is something to take under consideration. The extra RAM will drastically reduce the disk-based paging that the memory management carries out, thereby minimizing that bottleneck.
