Connecting a blu-ray to a wireless rcvr

I have tried repeatedly to connect a blu-ray player that has netflix and other apps to the wireless receiver.  I have been able to get it to work briefly in the past, but now I can't get a connection.  This receiver shows full signal strength and plays TV programming and dvr recordings fine.  My blu-ray keeps showing no IP address found.

Are you connecting the blu ray player to the wireless STB for an internet source? My blu ray player has built-in wifi, so the player and the STB are both connected to the TV as separate input sources.

    Hi dionnena,
    Do you have a Linksys device in your network as well? This is a Linksys forum and sorry but we cannot help you about your Dlink router.

  • Connecting Samsung Blue Ray Player to wireless network

    I have  a Linksys network with two wireless desktops, a laptop and a ROKU player connected to a WRT54G router. I was told to purchase a WAP54G Access Point to connect my Samsung  Player to the internet.  I setup the software on the WAP54G. When connecting the WAP54G to the Samsung player it could not connect to the internet. I also noticed that the laptop would loose it's connection to the internet when the WAP54G was on?  As soon as I disconnected the WAP54G the laptop connection returned to normal.  Since I am new at this any advice is greatly appreciated.
    Solved!

    With regard to initial configuration of the WAP54G read this.
    As for the rest of the configuration it depends on how you are connecting the WAP54G to the player. Read my comments above.

  • 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!

  • I have internet service on iMac but cannot get connection for Blu ray with airport express.

    Why am I not getting internet connection for blu ray on tv with airport express?

    Which exact model of the AirPort Express do you have?
    Did the Blu Ray player connect wirelessly to the Express before or has it never been able to connect to it at all?

  • How do I connect a Blu-Ray player w only Ethernet?

    Hi- I use an airport extreme base with n-only operation with a few computers and appleTV around our home (great speed!). I just added a blu-ray player with an ethernet port and would like to figure out how to connect it to the wireless network. I'm guessing there's a 802.11n repeater or some sort of wireless hub I can buy that can be configured to extend the network to ethernet, but have no idea. I'm assuming this is what folks with printers have done for years... would appreciate any advice. thanks!
    (would love to configure my AppleTV to share it's network connection, but that's beyond my capability.... :))

    One option would be to use the new 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station's (AXn) ProxySTA feature to create a wireless-to-wire bridge to connect the Blu-Ray player to.
    To activate ProxySTA, you must set up the Express to join a wireless network and then enable the Allow Ethernet Clients setting; both settings are located in the Wireless tab of AirPort Utility. The feature should work with any wireless network: a, b, g, or n; and 5GHz or 2.4GHz. (Note that the Express, which ships with firmware 7.3, must also be updated to firmware 7.3.1 for this feature to appear.)

  • 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?

  • Connecting Insignia Blue Ray Player to Home Wireless Network

    OK, I am having problems connecting my Insignia Blue Ray Player to my home wireless network. Under network settings I was able to connect to the network, but it can't seem to acquire an IP address. All the other devices connected to the network are working. I'm not very proficient at this obviously, but does anyone have any thoughts?

    If there is a configuration option on the BD player, set it to auto.

  • Connecting wireless blu ray with my wireless internet

    I'm exited to get Panasonic wi-fi built in blu ray dvd player, I'd like to use it mainly for Netflix, Pandora and maybe Youtube videos. I wasn't able to connect to internet. I'm stuck half way, Panasonic tech support gave me 3 port codes and suggested that verizon need to transfer them but when I connect verizon to have them transfer those codes they ask for a whopping $40 bucks, I prefer not to be charged for services they should provide without nickle and dime...long story short is there a solution to this before I return the blueray dvd player. P.S. the dvd player comes with wireless adapter and my wireless internet router supports the WEP authentication and it's Westell Versa Link Model 32700. Hope to get a solution, thanks

    If you visit this page, you can download the firmware for your Westell: http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/HighSpeed/Troubleshooting/Network/FirmwareUpgrade/123451.ht...
    Be sure to check the sticker at the bottom of your Westell *BEFORE* you install the firmware as you may otherwise render the router unusable. Once you've downloaded the correct firmware file, visit http://192.168.1.1/ and log in using one of the following Usernames and Passwords:
    admin/password
    admin/password1
    admin/admin
    admin/admin1
    Your Verizon Username and Password
    admin/Modem Serial Number
    From there, choose Advanced, click Yes past the Prompt, click Firmware Upgrade and then click on the box prompting you to upload a firmware file from your PC. Choose the downloaded file and press Upgrade. Give it a few minutes and Do not reboot the Westell! It will reboot itself and come back online if the upgrade was successful.

  • Connecting Samsung Blu Ray BD-D6700 to wireless network

    I got the Samsung BD-D6700 Blu Ray for Xmas and have not been able to set it up wirelessly, it doesn't see my network. Tried contacting Samsung support but they seem to think it is my Fios Router. Has anybody else had this issue and if so how did you fix?

    I had that problem, and it was the wireless broadcast channel in the router. 1,6&11 are the only ones to chose from. Login to your router by opening a webpage and going to 192.168.1.1
    This page will help if you dont know your router password ( http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/fiosinternet/networking/troubleshooting/questionsone/123899 )
    The channel can be found at the first column called "change wireless settings"
    As long as your wireless isnt broke on your samsung then this should help it find the actiontec

  • 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.

  • How to connect to blu-ray player

    How do I get my iphone to be recognized by my Sony blu-ray player? I have it cnnected by a USB port. The blu-ray player says it does not recognize USB device, or that it is not supported. Any help would be appreciated.

    I've never heard of a Blu-Ray player that offers this functionality in conjunction with an iPhone.
    Your best option would be to buy an AppleTV and connect that to your big screen TV. Then you can wirelessly stream audio, video and photos to your TV, and also mirror the iPhone screen on your TV allowing you to play games etc. on your iPhone but displayed on your TV. The AppleTV also does lots of other things too.

  • Connecting Samsung Blu-Ray to internet

    I am trying to connect to internet/netflix and I have no clue how to do it.  My internet is in another room so running a cable isnt an option.
    I have a Samsung Blu-Ray BD-P1500
    I bought a wireless N broadband router Linksys WRT160N
    I am at a loss of what I need to do. In searching "how to" on google I found ideas like I need an "ethernet bridge"  then read that I dont because I have a wireless adapter already in the samsung.  I tried to follow the user manual that didnt work.  I tried putting in the IP address from our spare computer, that didnt work.  Any suggestions?  I am a novice so basic info would be helpfull.
      Thank you,

    The BD-P1600 doesn't have built-in wireless.  You will need to buy the samsung wireless dongle ($80) at Best Buy.  You will also need a router which it sounds like you already have.  Once your network is setup, search for a wireless network on the Blu-ray player and it should find your network (this is assuming you have the samsung dongle plugged in).  Once to connect to it, you should be in business.

  • Connecting WIRED Blue ray player to network

    I only have coax running to my TV... does the Motorola NIM100 NIM 100 Cable Modem work in such a manner that I could plug the blue ray Ethernet connection into it & the coax going to the TV Basically acting as a splitter. Thanks
