Dave. Thanks for your input. It was thorough and cogent. I will follow your advice. I do have a stand alone Motorola modem supplied by ATT. i will still need the connection to my computer. Do I get a splitter so that I can have an output to both the computer and the wi-fi roouter?

I just purchased a BD390 and since it is in the room with the rest of the A/V equipment, I'd like to connect it wirelessly to the Westell 327W router that came with my Verizon DSL. I followed the on-screen setup instructions, and can see that the player senses the router (calling it by name and registering a strong signal) but all attempts to actually connect have failed. And neither the "Push Button" and "Manual" methods as instructed on-screen seem to relate to anything doable or enterable on the router. Anybody have ideas about what I need to do? I can always run a 50-foot ethenet cable through the attic, but what a hassle. Thanks!

The router should be all you need, but you might be happier with a wired connection between the DSL and the BD-390, but you would still need a router.

The previous reply addresses connecting the BD390 to your network. Your title specifically talks about communicating with your computer which suggests that you might like to play media (home movies perhaps) stored on your computer using the BD390. This may be possible using software included with the player which you would need to install on a Windows XP/Vista computer.

Yes, the Dell D630 laptop comes with Wifi built in as well as an Ethernet port. Although, I don't see why you'd ever need to use Ethernet.

I'm almost certain you will need the slingbox 500 to get 1080. I decided not to go 500 because if you're really watching it out over a mobile device you can not always be certain you will get enough continuous bandwidth. I have google fiber 1gb/sec and I would find it hard to spot the difference in definition on a small screen.

That may be a question the manufacturer should answer. I use this on my WD TV HD box so that I do not have to plug a cable from my router to the WD box. The wireless speed is a bit slower than a wired connection so I still use a wired connection in the living room. It is convenient to plug in the wireless Airlink and I can take it into another room or upstairs and use the WD box on another tv to use Netflix, YouTube, etc. I would suggest you check with your manufacturer for an answer or contact Airlink for help too. My personal guess would be that if you have a USB on your unit, then the Airlink should work but this is my opinion only. That may be a question the manufacturer should answer.

Hello Terrie,Your Dell must have built-in Bluetooth transmitter in order to communicate properly with external Bluetooth devices such as p311. There is a good chance you will need to purchase an external Bluetooth transmitter, a.k.a. Bluetooth dongle. It is fortunately, rather inexpensive. The process of setting up a Bluetooth headphones with a Windows-based PC can be a little time-consuming since the process is very different than one-button pairing with a smart phone. Once you make your Dell truly Bluetooth-enabled, then P311 can work just fine with it. Please feel free to contact us at arctic.us@arctic.ac if you have any question.

I was going to buy the 570, but it looks like it is being replaced by the 580. Besides the obvious 3D, which I have no use for, are there any differences in wireless capability. Neve have bought LG before, but looks the best make available.

I think it depends on 2 things. 1. If you intend to use parental controls, then I would say go with another router such as the N900 as it should be easier to set up 2. If you are not going to be connecting many wireless devices to it you can also go with a different router. I have over 25 devices connected to mine between PCs, tablets, TVs, chromecasts, phones etc. and with this number of devices I think it makes sense to have a router that is faster. If you only intend to connect a few devices to it, then the N900 would be fine.

The only way you will be able to utilize the AV500 is in a hardwired manner. It does not rebroadcast WiFi signals. You would need a repeater for that purpose, providing the smart TV has Internal WiFi, which some do. Most have an Ethernet plug to attach your signal. The AV500 extends wired signals through your AC lines in the house. Kind of like stringing a really long CAT5/6 Ethernet cable through your house between your router to your TV. If you want to extend the range of your WiFi, use a TP-Link TL-WA854RE Range Extender (repeater) or one of it's brethren. There are several models depending on the data rate (speed) you desire. Funny, I just got one in the mail today. No kidding. So, no. It will not extend your WiFi. If I may make a suggestion, take a look at NewEggFlash today at a product called an Edimax CV-7438nDM Wireless Bridge Adaptor. It's an inexpensive little toy that you might find useful in the near future. Get one quick; it's only $20 w/free shipping. I ordered one today too. Recommendation: Plug your AV500's directly into the outlets and away from other things. They are allergic to power strips and they tend to get pretty warm from dealing with the AC electricity, ok. If for some reason they don't work, try a different outlet. They prefer being on the same wired circuit. I hope I helped.

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately I have already returned the DIR 655. Secure Spot....Hmmmm. Not quite sure what that is. Unfortunate that when I contacted D-Link about the problem that they did not mention this. Seems odd that the router would work with all of the computers on the wireless network, but would not work with the BD 390. Oh well, guess I will purchase another router and try again.Thanks again

Yes in a way!! I have a basic package from my ISP. Only 6 MG. When I use the N900 I use it on a dual band setting. Putting out both 2.4GHZ and the 5GHZ. Some of the newer devices samsung Gal II for example can pick up the 5GHZ signal and my laptop can get about 4 bars in Win8.1. I didn't expect that speed. But it is only when I am up close about 0 to 20 feet away. But if I go outside in the yard then I loose bars on the Laptop but the Samsung Gal III comes in as soon as I hit the driveway, about 40 feet away. So it really depends on the newnest of the devices you use. As far as the Game consoles it adequate but that is not the fault of the N900 but the basic speed package I have. Trust me when I say this, the N900 is a great choice for a medium size household with slow speed. I can not attest to high speed broadband yet.

No you will need to connect the LG BD300's ethernet jack into an ethernet cable that is connected to your network - it will not stream directly through the cable. (There is no cable connection on the player.) For best quality you would connect your TV to the player with an HDMI cable. They supply a component cable (red/blue/green) for older TVs but the quality will not be as good.You also need to have at least 1.5 Mbps Internet service for minimal Netflix streaming. For better quality have 4 - 6 Mbps download bandwidth available. Their 'near HD' quality streams require at least 4.5 Mbps.

As best as I can tell you would need an add-on device, there is no Ethernet connection. Only HDMI (2) and a USB . No WiFi. PS: Unless small size is important where you will need to use it, I'd strongly advise a 21-23 inch. It is very surprising, how small an 19 inch HD display is.Rule of thumb to get a set that is about the same viewing size, up and down is add 20 to 30 %. I would say the 19 inch is comparable 13 to 15 in 4x3 display (old style) I was disappointed by the size, but it was my lack of research at fault for that. There seems to a price premium for the 19 in and smaller HDTV now so the larger size may be cheaper. As best as I can tell you would need an add-on device, there is no Ethernet connection.

I gifted the bd 390 to my brother and he couldn't set it up either with his belkin router. So tried the static IP but that didn't work either. I then moved the bd390 into the dmz (with static IP) n it worked. So just keep in mind that there might be different ways of doing this. Funny thing is that even without these settings it was connecting to services like YouTube, it was only the Netflix app that wouldn't connect.e

Hi K. Ness, I just bought the S10 3t 2 days ago in Seattle Fry's for $499. Since then I upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium (a must if you want to truly enjoy the multi-touch features) and now looking to upgrade to 2G RAM (less of a must as the netbook is performing really well already but I'm used to laptops and using MS Office so I want the extra speed). Regarding the GPS and WiMax that's the bit I'm struggling with at the moment. I keep reading various take on wether it is included or not. Same with Bluetooth. None seems to be working for me despite finding all the drivers on the web (drivers which are meant to be for the S10-3T which is the unit I have in my hands - btw typing this reply with it at the moment). There's also a slot for a 3G Sim Card which I have inserted but no luck there either. Probably because this is such a new product there's still no support page on Lenovo support website. So to summarise this is a great netbook/tablet PC (nice capacitive touch screen, large keyboard, decent performance) but I would have liked to see more out of the box support and documentation. Does it have GPS, WiMax, Bluetooth, 3G support ? I'm frustrated to say "I don't know" despite having the device in my own hands. So Lenovo I suggest you formally and clearly document what's in and what's not. One last thing the speakers are pretty poor compare to the iPhone's which has less physical space. But overall still a great piece of technology for the price as you get the best of both world (a netbook and a slate) and I highly recommend it.

I'm also looking forward to 9600. I think it's so far the best Led TV that is "affordable". OLED is at least a year or two from now.How is the smart TV? Do I need dual cores? I have an Apple TV and I just use it to watch Netflix. I don't think I'll use LG's smart TV any more than Netflix, either.
