Is this the type of cable I need to hook up a DVD player to my router for streaming... say... Netflix?

Depends on the connections of your DVD player and your router. What brand/model DVD player do you have?

Yes. I own this cable and use it from my router to my blu ray player, PlayStation etc. What's great about this specific cable is when I roll it up when it's not in use, it doesn't get all ugly and tangled like my old one.

Thats all I did with this cable. Just plug it into your comp, or dvd player and it should work like a charm.

No. This cable is for DisplayPort, not HDMI. If the DVD player also has a DisplayPort output (not likely) then you could.

The two I have (Netgear and Roku) both demand hdmi cables to connect the player to the TV--the only signal output is an hdmi connection.

Nope, just bought one. My tv is avi hdtv so have to get the adapter cable. Would be hard for phillips to supply a 30 dollar plus cable with ever dvd player for every type of set up. so only rca type composite cables are supplied.

I'm not sure what you're asking. But the cable is used to transfer anything you having playing (such as Netflix) on your tablet to your TV.

No. These have nothing to do with your router or Ethernet. These just happen to be using Ethernet wire, because it is cheap and effective, to run HDMI signals from point a to b. It starts with HDMI and ends with HDMI. There is no internet involved.

No. It is an AV cable for a dual screen portable DVD player. It connects the primary screen (meaning the one that acutally has the components to play the DVD) to the secondary screen; allowing for video and sound.

You would likely use sn HDMI cable which you have to purchase separately to use a wifi enabled player. The TV has two HDMI; one VGA; one cable; yellow/white/red composite; and red/white inputs. I have streamed Netflix and DVD using the VGA and audio through the headphone jack cable with a laptop that does not have an HDMI jack.

I used a powerline adapter to run internet from my router to the TV area. One small box plugs into an outlet at the router and another at the TV. They then use the electrical lines to carry the internet signal. The speed is 11 MBps which is fine for HD streaming with Netflix. (Actually I have a 4 port hub behind the TV because my Direct TV receiver, XBox 360, and Sony TV, and soon Blu Ray player all use the internet).

No it didn't work. We wound up having to hook it up by wire to our wireless router in order to get Internet access for Netflix.

you don't need this wireless adapter. if you have a dvd player you probably already have wireless connection tothe tv. you only need this if you want to stream movies from netflix, etc directly to your tv.

Run an ethernet cable to a router that hooks up to the internet. The computer hooks to the internet the same way, so the two install the same way. We Stream Netflix.

I don't believe so. Does Netflix and YouTube but needs an Ethernet cable- it's not got wireless.

What type of media streamer? I don't believe this cable will do what you want it to do.

Works well with my Sony Blu Ray player so I don't see why not. Stream is consistent with no buffering. 802.11n

I ordered it for my Philips dual DVD player system (DVD, Dolby Digital, MP3) & it works great. I love the length of the cord - plenty of slack. I compared the model/serial numbers & it looked like it would match so I ordered it. Hope your DVD player is compatible for this cord.
