Sony Blu Ray Player connect issue

Just added a Sony BDP S350 Blu Ray player to my network via a WGA54G.  It appears I can connect to BD Live sites but not Sony's firmware update server.  I can connect  to that server when I go wired directly through the DSL modem.  I have also tried to connect through the router and a cat line but no luck.   I use DHCP and WEP 64 bit.  Everything else is default....
Any thoughts?

mle724,
You need to use the same wireless security encryption on the router and adapter (either WPA2 or WEP, but not both).  If you make these changes it should work.
EDIT:  Looking at the spec for the WGA54G I see that it only supports WEP, therefore the only option would be for you to change the security on the router to WEP.
You also need to use the same passphrase (or keys) for the router and adapter.
Check page 28 (troubleshooting) of your WGA54G manual and under #1 it will show:
Make sure that the SSID is the same as the SSID of the access point.
On the WEP Encryption screen, make sure that all of the WEP settings are the same as the WEP settings of the access point.

  • Tricks to connect my iPod Classic to a Sony Blu-ray player?

    I'm trying to get my iPod Classic to play through my Sony Blu ray player. Unfortunatley, I think they're just not compatible. But there's always hope!
    You guys are smart if anybody has any ideas let me hear 'em.
    Here's a list of what I've tried so far, unsuccessfully; I connect my iPod to the A/V input, but it did not generate the sound that I wanted.
    I connected to the Blu ray's usb port this improves the sound but I have no control over what music is played and all of the music folders and files have weird labels on them so I don't know what any of the folders or song files contain.

    I had the same problem with Sony BluRay BDP-S3100 and iPod Nano (6th gen.).
    I had a nice online "chat session" with Apple, and they said a couple of things.
    One was that a USB connection is not the "best" connection for audio files,  I thought
    that was an interesting factoid.   :-)   The BluRay player said the "USB device" was
    "not supported."  It just can't "see" the iPod.
    But the Apple chat tech said I should try hooking the iPad directly
    to the TV via a headphone jack -- didn't have one -- BUT...my stereo system DOES
    have a headphone jack, so he said to get a cable that has two male plugs -- one is
    the 3.5mm headphone plug, and the other is the mini (for iPod) plug.  Voila!  Apple
    sells that kind of cable, but I'm sure one could be found at Radio Shack etc.
    I hope this helps you!  I don't have a cable yet so I can't say if this solves the problem
    for me or anyone else, but it's where I'm going to start.

  • 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.

    You could connect a FireWire Blu-Ray drive and use non-Apple player software.

  • Blue ray player connection to web help

    Just wondering if any iMac people have recently successfully connected their blue ray player to the internet? Apple tells me that I have to purchase "Apple TV" device. The Sony player (BDP-N460) I purchased said I only need to buy an additional 'Linksys-Cisco WET610N' wireless bridge and a LAN cable for it to work. Which is correct, or maybe both are, but which one is the more cost/efficient one? Thanks in advance!
    iMac Intel Duo,20",2.16Ghz,1GB,Airport Express

    I too have the same BD player and have just connected the WET610n bridge to my Airport Extreme -- it's just a question of configuring this-or-that. Only that Linksys put the manual on a Mac-incompatible CD.
    You can find the product manual on this page which describes the unit, and then go to the downloads page, select Version 1.0 from the drop-down menu, and then a link to Mac-compatible setup wizard will display. Download it if you like.
    There's an easier way. Make sure your player is plugged into your TV and turn the TV on. (In my case, I was configuring the bridge with a Sony Bravia HDTV. I assume a Mac would be no different.) Press the MENU key on the BD player remote and navigate to the leftmost menu item, a small suitcase. Scroll down to select Network Settings, then Network Connection Diagnostics. When it tells you the obvious that you're not connected, backtrack to Internet Settings.
    Assuming you've plugged the Ethernet cable and bridge together, and connected the bridge to a power outlet, you can select Wireless Bridge Setup. Since your network is out there waiting to be found, select Scan, and then select your network. An onscreen keypad will open for you to enter your security key, after which you'll experience a minute or two as the bridge gets programmed and a connection is made to your network.
    Return to the suitcase menu and select Network Update to see if new system software is available for the BD player itself. If there is, it will download and warn you NOT to turn the power off.
    You should now be able to download content off the net.

  • My Sony Blu-ray player keeps restarting while playing a DVD.

    While playing a DVD in my Sony Blu-ray BD/DVD player it keeps shutting off, then automatically restarting itself and goes back to the home menu. It is a BDV-2100 Series. Any suggestions? I've turned off the Sleep settings. Unplugged for 1 minute and turned back on. I haven't found any helpful suggestions for this in the COmmunity Support questions. Is this a common problem with this series of Blu-ray?

  • Blu-Ray player installation issue: missing VBScript

    Hi folks!
    After downloading bluray driver as recommended by Toshiba notifier, i have trouble installing it.
    After I have run installation, I receive 2 windows with following notifications:
    1, First: Cant find script engine VBScript for script ..... TC3052100B.temp\preinstBDV.vbs
    (where TC3052100B.temp referds to the bluray driver itself if i undersand correctly)
    2. and after the above window is closed, the following appears:
    Cant find script engine VBScript for script ..... TC3052100B.temp\BDPlayerSetup_Patch.vbs
    I already deleted the old driver and don't have any restore point....
    All rest of the operations run smoothly...
    But how to handle this situation????
    And i want my disk drive to function...
    Thanks so much in advance,
    Kaspars

    > After downloading bluray driver as recommended by Toshiba notifier, i have trouble installing it.
    Toshiba notifier? You mean Toshiba Tempro software
    I have no idea what notebook model you have and if your notebook was equipped with an Toshiba Bluray drive but I guess you get this error appears because your notebook isnt blu-ray capable and the Toshiba Blu-ray player isnt preinstalled.
    The point why you got this notification is simple: there are different notebooks with different hardware configurations. But the Toshiba tempro does not recognize if your notebook needs this software. Tempro shows you the drivers/tools/utilities which were released for the whole notebook series and were uploaded to the Toshiba driver page.

    Hi Vesta
    I am working on a more detailed answer to your DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc looping question. I have threads scattered about here and elsewhere. Several seeming to be success stories. I am just checking to make sure that they still work since it has been a while since I looked at them.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2518188
    What is the duration of your Timeline and how many times did you want the Timeline content to loop in the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc playback?
    There are 3rd party software that have been used successfully to take the Premiere Elements DVD burn to folder VIDEO_TS and add commands for the looping. But then you must find a 3rd party software for burning the VIDEO_TS edited for looping to a DVD disc. ImgBurn has been suggested, but I just want to make sure it does first hand. That pgcedit software and infoEdit.

    ifoEdit: http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=421
    If you had a Windows Live Movie Maker/Windows DVD Maker workflow, looping would be available in Windows DVD Maker.
    http://lehsys.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-to-loop-video-using-windows-live.html
    But, I do not know if that is all that advisable with your present project goals and the video editing advantages of Premiere Elements. Did you say that you have Windows 7 or 8 64 bit? Windows 8 no longer comes with the Windows DVD Maker.
    Definitely the easiest way out is through the player controls. I checked out your Sony BDP-5470.
    http://store.sony.com/p/BDP-S470/en/p/BDPS470#specifications
    Under Function, did you try
    "Repeat (All/1 title): Yes (All/1 title/1 chapter/1 track". Not sure what that is all about, but worth a look at.
    Did you call Sony sales to see if you could get the definitive answer on looping playback with your Sony player?

  • How to setup Screen Mirroring on my New Sony Blu-Ray player

    Just purchased and incredible 4K Blu-Ray DVD player that offers Screen Mirroring.
    How do I set it up on my Mac ?

    Apple does not support Blu-Ray.  You will have to investigate third party software that will allow you to use the Blu-Ray hardware.
    Ciao.

  • Sony Blu-Ray BDP-S570 won't connect to iMac

    Hello everyone,
    I'm trying to connect my new sony blu-ray player to my iMac wirelessly. My iMac is set up as an airport base station, and I have no problems connecting my iPhone to it to use the internet.
    Internet sharing is turned on, and i'm using a 40-bit WEP password. Every time I try to connect my blu-ray player, it connects to the network, but cannot connect to the internet. Anyone else have this issue? Any ideas? I'm pretty frustrated.
    Thanks!

    Hi there I'm having a similar problem with the s570 - it finds the livebox network ok but I enter the WPA password
    The AirPort Extreme can use the following WPA security settings:
    WPA2 Personal
    WPA/WPA2 Personal
    Which of these are you trying to use?
    Is there something in the instruction sheet or setup page of the Blu-Ray player that specifies exactly what type of security settings are compatible with the device?

  • Can't connect wireless blu ray player

    I've been using verizon DSL for about 5 years now.  I have a Versalink 327W that was provided by Verizon.  I've been pretty happy with the service, experiencing only a few glitches that were easily fixed.  But I haven't been pushing it hard.  I have a couple of desktops both wired to the Versalink by ethernet.  The versalink provides internet access to the two computers, and file and printer sharing as well.
    Now I have a problem.  I recently bought a Sony Blu Ray player  (model BDP-BX57) with built in wireless.  No matter what I do, wireless connection fails.  I've ruled out SSID and WEP key problems.  The Blu Ray sees the Versalink with its SSID, and can't connect even if I set the Versalink to open.  For what it's worth, if I plug the blu ray into the versalink with ethernet, that works, and I can access the internet.
    That solution won't work for me in use.  I need wireless.
    Reading various entries in this forum and other places, I see that some people need to update the firmware in their Versalink.  Do I need to do this?  Is it going to help?  Am I just going to have to upgrade my router/modem or my DSL service later on?
    Also, looking at the steps needed to update the firmware, it looks error prone to me.  What's my fall back if things go wrong due to either my error or Verizon's?  I don't want to be without service for a long time while Verizon gets me a new router/modem.
    Thanks in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    This problem has been solved.
    The solution turned out to be to upgrade the firmware inside the "Residential Gateway"  (aka router/modem)  provided by Verizon.  The gateway is a Westell 327W  of the A90 vintage.  The firmware it contained didn't work for wireless connections.
    After finding a Verizon site that provides firmware for downloading, and satisfying myself that this site was on the up and up, I finally ventured to download and install the new firmware.  if you are interested in downloads from Verizon, start at download.verizon.net and navigate your way to the download you are loking for.  There may be a link from My Verizon to this download area, but I sure couldn't find it. 
    The firmware is now at rev 4.04.03.00.  And the gateway now supports wireless connections.
    Thanks for all your responses, and a special thanks to some contributors to old discussions in dslreports where the solution was outlined.
    The next problem to deal with is going to be slow speed.  I'll start a new topic. 

  • BDX1100 Blu Ray player won't connect to 50HM66 DLP TV via HDMI

    Hi all.  I have been trying to connect my Toshiba BDX1100 Blu Ray player to my Toshiba 50HM66 DLP TV through the HDMI.  I have tried both HDMI 1 & 2 ports.  I have tried 3 different cables.  The Blu Ray player connects through HDMI on another TV so I don't think its the problem.  I've been through all the settings on each device and can't find anything to make it work.  I've searched and searched and read all I could find and nothing has worked, so I figured I would post here hoping to find an expert or someone experiencing similar problems.  I appreciate any feedback or advice.

  • 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.

  • 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.
