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 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

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!

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?

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.

Insignia blu-ray player NS-BRDVD3 sound issues

I'm having issues with sound levels when using the Insignia player. Sometimes the sound fades and I can turn the volume all the way up on my tv and still not be able to hear it real well. This is sporadic but only happens when I am using the blu-ray player, both watching a dvd or watching netflix.
Has anyone else had this problem? I have it hooked to a Vizio LCD with HDMI cable.

I have experienced the same problem with Netflix streaming. It looks like the current "fix" for this problem is to connect with component cables and not a HDMI cable. A firmware solution is aparently in the offing from information I've gleaned from the Inginia forums. Not entirely satisfying, but it has worked so far for me.

Surround Sound Not Working Correctly Since Connecting New Blu-Ray Player

I recently purchased a Sony VIZIO VBR200W Blu-Ray Player to go with my VIZIO VL420M LCD HDTV, and am having some audio issues. I have a RCA RT2770 Home Theater System, which is connected to the TV through the audio in/out composite (RCA) audio cables (audio in is to the RCA system, audio out is to the TV). The Blu-Ray Player and the XBox 360 are connected directly to the TV using HDMI cables. The problem is the sound coming out of the speaker system is a bit distorted when using the Blu-Ray player. I've also noticed quite a bit of feedback coming from both the TV speakers and the surround speakers when the TV screen is bright (loading menu's of movies, Netflix Instant Queue, etc.). I never had any issues with the sound from the 360, which has been hooked up this way since day one. Any suggestions on how to get the sound to be clearer?
OK, now I'm starting to worry that the feedback I got earlier caused some kind of picture quality issues in the TV itself! Before I make a fool of myself for asking stupid questions, is this even a possability? Help!!!

dumb question - but does your rca home theater have an optical input on the back of it? it will look like a trapazoid cover with sometimes the words "audio in"

Trying to connect Sony Blu Ray player to MI424WR router wired through in-wall connection, help!

Maybe someone can help me. My house has some pre-wired cat5e plugs in the walls. I have my MI424WR router upstairs and my Sony blu ray player downstairs. I first connected the router and blu ray player to the wall with cat5e cables, no luck. I then tried using a cat5e crossover cable from the router to the wall, no luck. The Sony blu ray player has everything set to auto, but do I need to configure something? Can someone help me figure out what is not working? Thank you.

Shouldn't the wiring in the wall act like a hub with the router plugged into one wall jack?
No. cat5 wiring doesn't work that way. Unlike phone wiring where all the wires are connected together, cat5 wiring connects point-to-point between two Ethernet devices. You need a continuous cat5 path from the blu-ray player to the router. The patch panel merely provides a termination point for each cable.
The easiest thing to do to get this working is to take a cat5 patch cord and use it as a jumper from the jack going to the blu-ray player and the jack going to the Actiontec router. That will give you a continuous connection between the two devices.
Longer term, if you want to add devices in other rooms that have a cat5 cable, you will need to add a switch as viafax999 suggested.

http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=30&Tpk=ethernet%20switch&Order=PRICE
You will need to connect the jack going to the Actiontec router as well as the jack going to each room where you want an Ethernet connection to the switch. The number of rooms you want active will determine how many ports you need on the switch.

I am having trouble connecting my Blu ray player to airport extreme

Hello,
I am having trouble connecting my magnavox blu ray player (Model #:MBP512OF/F7E) to my Apple Airport Extreme.
I have tried setting my network security to none, making sure the radio settings were set to 802.11a-802.11b/g. I double and triple checked my security passcode.
What else can I try?

I got it! i just took the player downstairs to the network and pluged it in for the update

Connecting WIRED Blue ray player to network

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.

Problems connecting a Satellite Pro 4600 to home wireless network

Hi,
My desktop pc has an Athlon 64x2 4200+ processor and 2 GB of RAM, with XP2 Pro. I have a Linksys WRT54GS Broadband Router and am connected with Virgin Media.
My daughter has given me an old laptop, a Satellite Pro 4600 with a Celeron 747MHz Processor, 384MB of RAM and XP2 Pro it has an Intel Pro/100 VE Network adaptor. I have fitted a Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adaptor with SRX (Model No WPC45GX), so that I can use it around the house. However when I try to connect to the home network, although it "finds" a list of networks, I am unable to connect, and get an error message - "Windows is unable to connect to the selected network (my home network). The network may no longer be in range. Please refresh the list of available
networks, and try again."
I have tried connecting with the laptop in the same room as the router, but get the same message. In Device Manager, under Network adaptors, both are shown, and both are working correctly, but in the taskbar there is a red cross shown on both icons, one says that a network cable is unpluged,but I don't have a network cable fitted.
The other tells me that the wireless is not connected.
I presume that the adaptor is working as it can "see" wireless networks, plus I have used Lynksys support to check that all the settings on both Router and Adaptor are correct.
My wife has a new laptop and is able to connect to the home network without any problem.
Please can anyone offer any advice or assistance.

Hm,
for some reason you should disable your wired (cable) network connection and use the client from the PCMCIA wireless network card. Maybe its just the problem that your system cannot separate between both network connections and gets some error. You should also go to the Linksys website and download the latest driver and client for the card, so you can make sure that software is up-to-date.
Another good idea would be to visit www.microsoft.com and check the support center for any "Knowledgebase documents" which could probably solve the problem.
Since your machine is really old and no-one uses PCMCIA cards anymore, you will maybe wait some long time for an answer in this forum. Maybe you should check the linksys site for some support section. Perhaps they could help you..

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.
