Sony made their Blu-ray DVD players Wi-Fi compatible, PROVIDED you buy this hugely overpriced network adapter. It's a shame - they made it proprietary, so nobody can use a regular Wi-Fi adapter (costing less than half) - a greedy bad-move from Sony. The result is that very few people buy the device - the adapter costs more than the Blu-ray player! Very sad indeed, greedy and poor marketing from Sony. Save your money and buy Samsung, LG, etc.

No issues with the performace, but the price Sony sells these for is stupid. I have always been a big Sony supporter, but the way they handled their "wifi ready" TV's is misleading.

Works great on my blu-ray player. Easy to setup. For some reason I couldn't get it working directly from my Bravio television.

The product opened a wide range of services that I did not know about when I registered. I had purchased the product to specifically enjoy Netflix. When I registered the product and connected to the network there were additional chioces offered. Connecting the adapter is a snap. Step by step guides to registering your product and connecting to your wifi were provided. The adapter is working fine and no problems have been experienced.

Product came quickly and nicely packaged in a prompt time limit. On the package was contact information for customer service and any questions you may have.

Product arrived as ordered.
Product works just as stated.
Setting it up with a router with a security function
Unless you are able to enter a code specific to your router and computer it will not work. So you may have to purchase/upgrade your router.
Adds a whole new dimension to watching DVD's well worth it.

The setup was a cinch. Just plug in the adapter to the USB extension cable which is plugged into the back of the Sony blu-ray player (in this case, it was a BDP-S370), enter your router's network password and that's it!

Watched streaming HD movie portions from Netflix to test it, like "Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes" and the beginning action scene (chimps being chased and captured) was smooth in every way, with the video quality set to highest in Netflix. Signal strength is about 3 out of 5 but this is with an older model wireless G Linksys router (WRT-54G2 to be exact) on cable internet of about 7-8Mbps maximum download speed.

A bit pricey considering it's for a discontinued blu-ray players but at least it makes watching streaming movies comfortable, from in front of your TV on your couch, not stuck on an office chair in front of your computer!

Highly recommended for those who don't want to buy a Wi-Fi capable TV or don't have the budget for one now.

Works great! Easy install, just follow the menu set up on the TV... if you aren't sure, you can check out the how to on YouTube.

It works so much better than being hard wired in. Very glad I bought it !! I would recommend it to anyone else !

This was exactly as described and it works great. It is used daily and I am very pleased with it.
