Hook an internet ready blu-ray wirelessly to network

I have a Panasonic SC-BT200 Blu-Ray player that is internet ready (wired) but I was wondering if a wireless adapter could be inserted to connect it to my network. I am having a hard time deciphering which one is compatible if so.

NO. Your product has no wireless capabilties. You would need a wireless ethernet bridge.

CAN I BUY A PANASONIC SKYPE READY BLU RAY PLAYER A...

CAN I BUY A PANASONIC SKYPE READY BLU RAY PLAYER AND USE LOGITECH SKYPE CAMERA TOGETHER? ARE THEY COMPATIBLE? OR DO PANASONIC PLAYERS ONLY WORK WITH PANASONIC WEB CAMERAS ON SKYPE?

Following 2 yrs of thread here and just having been given a new Panasonic BD110 3d Blu Ray with a Skype button on its remote, DNLA, built in WiFi, ethernet, BBC i-Player, YouTube etc. I set it up and went thru BluRays, DVD's, HDMI, sound etc. I was impressed, so I bought a decent webcam and plugged it in - nothing happened. Read the manual, did everything spot on, nothing! Pana's web site, Skype, Bing, Google, customer "support", confusion all round.
It seems Panasonic don't now sell either of their own cameras (discontinued? binned? still supported? forgotten? hoping we'll forget) - but the Blu Ray/Skype models are still for sale. If this concept had been made to work, it would have been world beating!! Otherwise a recall and refund or upgrade offer should be made. There's been no apology or explanation that I can find.
This is a scandal from such a reputedly "high end" manufacturer that makes stuff for hospitals even!! And it has published DNLA and other approvals that clearly are not true.
I'll be in touch with Panasonic again and try escalating the issue, though it seems Japan knows about it and are keeping quiet in the hope the problem will fizzle out. We should individually contact the technical press and their web sites and also raise Caine under a Trade Descriptions breach. Making a warranty claim is fully justified too.
We don't know how many they sold and how many want that feature but I'll bet many thousands were made. So if a big enough bunch of us complain we should be able to make life uncomfortable for the idiots who failed us, their own employees, some important business partners, the Standards folks, and the poor souls who have to speak to us on the phone or across the Argos & Curry's counters.

What is the process for connecting ethernet. Have ethernet cable connected to stereo received for internet radio and Blue Ray. However Network System Preferences indicates ethernet not connected and has red dot to left. Note Airport wireless is working.

What is the process for connecting airport extreme ethernet? I have ethernet cables connected to stereo receiver for internet radio and another to blue ray player. The system preference network indicates "ethernet not connected" with red dot to left of this message. The airport wireless works and has green dot to left of it. The stereo receiver and blue ray player do not respond and give message not connect to internet. Thank you. / cfpirate

It worked for me finally. I took out the DNS numbers in airport admin utility, and restarted the airport express. I do not remember putting the DNS numbers in, I wonder from where the airport express got those numbers.
After restarting, it worked.
Thanks!

Best way to watch Netflix? Ipad 3 or direct connect to Panny ready blu-ray?

I am researching the best way to stream Netflix? Here is what I have;
Brand new iPad 3
Pioneer VSX-1120 which has both HDMI inputs and a iPad USB/rca input.
Panasonic DMP-BDT1-- Blu-Ray with Netflix ready, (has ability to connect to Internet via Ethernet or wirless adapter)
Panasonic TC-P58VT25 full 3d HDTV with HDMI and Ethernet inputs.
Westell 7500 wireless router
What are your suggestions?
Download Netflix on iPad and connect to Pioneer receiver This would stream wireless from the router to iPad Then wired from iPad to receiver???
Just connect the Blu-Ray player or TV to the Router with Ethernet? No wireless involved.
Help...???

I would go Ethernet (assuming it is not a problem running the cable), and allow your Blu-Ray player do the work. That way your WiFi bandwidth for in hone computer-to-computer Data transfers is not affected, and any such in home transfers do not affect your Netflix viewing. Also if you have any WiFi interference it will not affect your Netflix viewing.
This would leave your iPad free to play with during the movie :-)
I would use the iPad to browse and select Netflix movies putting them in your "Instant Queue", so you can easily start watching form the Blu-Ray player. Chances are the Blu-Ray player's user interface is not very user friendly :-)
You can still download Netflix to your iPad, and watch movies directly on your iPad when you do not want to sit in front of your TV (such as when you are away from home, or someone else is using the TV).
This is more or less the setup I use, only I have an internet capable TV with Netflex built in. I had the option of Ethernet or WiFi, and went Ethernet, for all the reasons above, especally since browsing Netflix via the TV interface is a pain, but selecting a movie already in my Netflix Instant Queue was easy. And I still watch a movie on my iOS device, if that is more convent.
If the Blu-Ray Netflx experence is not as good as using the iPad, or if there is extra expensive equipment to buy, or getting Ethernet to the TV location is a problem, them adjust your setup accordingly.

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

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.

Can I use an airport express to hook up to a blue ray dvd player to assist in getting netflix streamed over the internet?

Can I use an airport express to extent my airport extreme to another room and connect a Blueray DVD Player to stream Netflix directly from the player to the airport express?

Are there any tricks for the set up for a sony blueray player to an airport express which mst be networked thru a airport extreme?

Connecting a TV to the internet -- TV internet apps or blu ray

We are buying a new HDTV -- probably the Samsung LED/LCD. Don't need 3D. There are multiple models and to get one that has the Samsung internet apps, it is $200 more. Should I be getting the TV with internet apps -- where it is all pretty and loaded in or should I get my internet to TV options via a Blu Ray player. And what do I need to get in a Blu Ray player for this. I think I need WiFi capabilites. The other Blu Ray quesiton is someone told me that only certain units let you stream HD content--so what does that mean.

Just purchased Sony Ex7oo hdtv and Blu ray wireless dvd player. A Wi FI DVD player can easily be setup to your wireless network ; and then you can download directly to TV. Otherwise you need to buy a usb receiver for about $80 for your TV to do this.

Samsung blu ray hook-up

I guess i'm like a couple of people who are not getting the picture quality at home that we experience in the stores. I would like to know the best way to hook up my Samsung blu ray player to my Samsung hd tv? Just use the HDMI cable? I also have the audio/video cables hooked up. Are the 2 cancelling themselves out? It's also hooked into my surround sound system. the sound quality is awesome but for some reason i'm just not getting the picture quality I wanted. any suggestions? Am I missing something?

Use just the HDMI cable. Take the Red/White/Yellow off.
Connect the HDMI to your receiver, and then the recevier to the TV.
If you have no HDMI connection at the receiver, connect the HDMI to your tv, and a toslink/digital cable from your Blu Ray to the receiver.

I have the older rounded airport and want to connect it to a Sony Blu-Ray via a LAN cable. Is that possible?

I have the older rounded airport and would like to connect it to a Sony blu-ray player via a LAN. Any thoughts?

I assume that your Sony Blu-ray player is network-ready and has an Ethernet port ... correct? If so, there shouldn't be any reason why it couldn't be connected to the LAN (opposing arrows) port on the 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) to gain network/Internet access.

Using Airport Extreme with a Airport Time Capsule to update Blu-Ray player

I was wondering if it were possible to hook up a blu-ray player to a second Airport Extreme to update the player? I have a Time Capsule in my home office and a blu-ray on the other end of the house. The blu-ray needs updates. I am wondering if I can use an Airport Extreme as an "extension" wireless unit hooked up to my blu-ray player to have it connected to the net?
Thank you!
John

Welcome to the discussions, John!
You have a few options to do what you want.
Perhaps you were thinking of the AirPort Express when you mentioned AirPort Extreme. The AirPort Express can be configured to "extend" the main wireless network created by the Time Capsule and the ethernet port will be "live" so that you could connect to your BluRay player via ethernet.
An AirPort Extreme would work as well, but you may not need the other extra ethernet ports on the Extreme and extra expense for features that you may not use.
I take it that running an ethernet cable to the BluRay player is not feasible in your current situation.
You may not have thought about the next option, which would make use of a pair ethernet powerline adapters. One device plugs into an AC socket at the head end and another plugs into AC at the BluRay end. The adapters use the wiring in your home to transmit the ethernet signal. You would run a short ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on your AirPort Extreme to the adapter and do the same at the BluRay end.
This type of connection will almost always provide a faster signal than wireless, so you may want to check these out as an option. Best Buy will have several to choose from.

Do I really need Blu-Ray?

We recently came into this century by replacing our old 27" CRT with a nice new Samsung 42" plasma (PN42C450). We upgraded our cable to HD and have the set mounted on the wall and are very happy with our update, We also have an old VCR (have several older family tapes) and an older Toshiba DVD player.
I have played several DVD's with our player connected thru component connection. Admittedly they do look nicer on the new set than the old one. I understand that the upconversion offered in the newer DVD players will make them look even better. I know our set is 720P, but am also aware that it will display 1080i (I know because I have seen it do it in the store).
I notice that many of the newer Blu-Ray players also offer wifi connection built-in. We do have a wireless N network in the house. The connection sounds intriguing to me, but if it is only for netflix and streaming movies it would be of limited use to us. Blockbuster is just around he corner, and of course the cable company offers PPV movies on demand. On the other hand, if it would allow it to connect to our computers for reviewing photos, etc, then it might have a good use.
Back to my original question, do I really need a Blu-Ray? We do not own any blu-ray disks, and certainly don't need 3D. Will the current lot of DVD upconverting machines allow me to display in 1080i? I have been looking also at the Samsung model 6500 as a possible purchase (because of attractive pricing) and notice that it will also upconvert my DVD's and has built in wifi.
Looking for opinions from those of you with more knowledge than I. Thanks.

Blu-ray is definitely worth the upgrade. A few points to consider:
Blu-ray will upscale your DVD's to 720p or 1080i. If you ever get a 1080p TV, it will upscale to that also.
Supports HDMI which provide you better sound and picture quality.
Plays your current DVD's
Most Blu-ray discs are region free so can easily import from UK, Japan, etc.
Many new release Blu-rays also include a DVD copy of the movie for only a couple of bucks more.
Many Blu-ray players are network connected, and like you mentioned offer streaming from Netflix, as well as Hulu, Vudu, and some even have Apps for Facebook, Twitter, and can connect to your home media network for music, video and picture streaming.
Companies push firmware updates to Blu-ray players to keep up with technology...i.e I've had support for 3D pushed to 2 of mine.
One other note; you mentioned 1080i a couple of times. 720p is generally going to provide you with a better picture quality than 1080i will. My advice would be to not switch to 1080i regardless of whether you move to Bluray or not.
I personally have 4 Blu-ray players in my household and wouldn't have it any other way.

Insignia ns-brhtib blu-ray won't eject

Just hooked up my new blu ray player to my tv everything works except that the tray to put the dvd in wont eject. Didn't know if anyone knew something I didn't. i've tried several times with both the remote and on the acutal unit.

It sounds like the disc drive is defective or off track. I would just take the player back and exchange it, if you're still w/in 30 days from the date of purchase and have your original receipt.
Nothing I post is an official statment of Best Buy or Geek Squad, it is only a helpful opinion!

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,

How do I setup a secure wireless AirPort network that allows internet shari

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to setup internet sharing over a wireless Airport network between my flatmate's iMac and my G4 Powerbook. We both have Norton Confidential installed, which includes a Firewall feature, which may be making this more difficult.
I thought I understood the basics of setting up secure Airport network, and the basics of Internet sharing. But with all the variations I've tried, I've only ever managed to create a secure network that won't share internet, or a network that shares internet but doesn't seem to be password protected. I never seem to get all three, and I can't figure out why.
From startup/login on both machines, what are the steps I need to follow?
Many thanks,
Andrew

You enable wireless security on the base station, by using the AirPort Utility. You basically have four choices: None, WEP, WPA, or WPA2. (Note: These are in order of least to most security.)
Here are the basic steps:
AirPort Extreme Base Station Setup (AEBSn) - Wireless Encryption
Setup the AEBSn
Either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to one of the LAN ports of the AEBSn, and then, using the AirPort Utility in Manual Mode, check these settings:
AirPort - Wireless
o Wireless Security: <None | WEP (Transitional Security Network) | <b>WPA/WPA2 Personal | WPA2 Personal>
o Wireless Password: <enter your desired password>
o Verify Password: <reenter your desired password>

After updating to Firefox 24, Windows 7 64-bit breaks on reboot. The network icon in the taskbar not ready (blue circle stopped).

After updating Firefox 24, Windows 7 breaks after reboot. The network icon in the taskbar is not ready (blue circle over wifi network icon). But I can't do much. I can not open the network and sharing center (never opens). Even the task manager will hang when I click to show processes from all users. I have to do a system restore to have a functioning network again. I never even launched Firefox.

Thank you for your response. I agree that the steps you list should have a working Firefox 24, but it did not work. I don't know what other information to gather to help assist in diagnosing the cause. If I restored to a good state and then (re)installed Firefox 24 and reboot, I have a problem.
Thank you.
