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.

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.

    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.

  • Samsung Blu-Ray player, Airport Extreme network, and streaming Netflix

    I am very frustrated. Can you help? My husband just purchased a Samsung Blu-Ray BD-P3600 player and TV. I have read all of the forums on trying to connect this to an Airport Extreme network. After several days of trying different options, I still can not get the Blu-Ray player to connect to my network and be able to stream Netflix. The only way that I have gotten close is through the wireless connection devise and putting in the IP address etc. When doing a network test, if checks the MAC Address and the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, DNS Server. It then pauses for a long time and tells me that the Gateway Ping won't work. It says, "Your network cannot operate properly." I have not had any trouble connecting any computers or printers to the network. Why can I not get this to work? Please tell me what I am doing wrong. I know just enough to be dangerous. Thank you!

    Hi - I found this on CNET but not a techie so not sure if this will work - I have Airport Extreme & just bought 2 Samsung Blu-Ray BD-P3600 players to use w/NetFlix and have called Samsung tech support 3 times w/no luck - the last time the technician said that Apple/Samsung WIFI not compatible - I have a 13 character pswd so that my roommate who has a PC can connect - we don't have any problems with any other connections to Airport Extreme -
    Post today from CNET discussion on same topic:

    found this about setting up a psp with airport should help:
    "Apple does not mandate that your WEP password is the correct length. In the real world of WEP (non Apple devices) they actually require that your WEP key is a specified length dependent on the bit level of encryption. If you are using HEX or ASCII encoding these passwords can get as high as 26 to 40 characters long. Yea, thats a long pass code! Your Mac sitting in your house doesn't care about all that mumbo jumbo. You can put any old password in the AirPort Admin utility and it will take it.
    I learned over at Gaming-Age that I could get away with a 13 character WEP Key. You should, however, stick with 128 bit WEP as this is better protection, and works well with the PSP (I run my AirPort Express in 802.11b/g Compatible Mode). Once you set your WEP key and update your AirPort you can setup your PSP. Now just setup your PSP for Wi-Fi Infrastructure mode"
    and this:
    The trick is that to use the hexadecimal key with an Apple AirPort Card, you must enter a dollar-sign before the hex number, like

  • 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 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.

  • Keyboard for Samsung Blu Ray Player

    I purchased a Samsung Blu Ray Player (Model: BD-F5900) from Best Buy as a Christmas gift for my daughter and I also purchased Logitech MK270 Wireless Keyboard/Mouse to use with it for accessing the internet, but when she tried to use it, it asked her to enter the operating system of the Blu Ray Player.  Can anyone tell me if you can use this keyboard with the player and if yes, how?
    If not, would someone please recommend a compatible keyboard?
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    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?

  • My samsung Blu Ray player won't work on my LG tv

    For some reason when I hook up my samsung Blu Ray player to my LG tv with the HDMI cable it will not work. I've tried it on other brands and it works fine. Any ideas?

    Hello mdeis909,
    If your Samsung Blu-Ray Player works with other brands and TVs, it could mean that the HDMI port on your LG television is no longer working. If your LG TV has another HDMI port readily available, I'd suggest trying it to see if the issue is limited to one specific port.
    I hope this helps,

  • 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 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.

  • 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.
