Samsung BD-P1600 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player: Can this unit use my existing Wi-Fi to stream movies and music??

There has been a ton of info online about this question. Bottom line, you'll need to pay about $80 to Samsung for a wireless antenna which plugs into this Samsung Blu ray player.

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

You don't! This player is meant to hook to an ethernet wire run out of a router. "Wires all over the house" If you want a WIFI get a blu ray player with built in wireless. By the time you get the one wifi adapter that will work with this player you will find it would have been cheaper to get a wireless blu ray. Of course you also need a broadband internet connection to stream video. You can stream video over a cellular connection but expect problems.

If your blue ray player has wifi capability, your tv will. If you plan on hooking any wifi device to almost ANY HDTV, you don't need to pay the extra for a smart tv. I have a Samsung using the usb Roku, and an LG using my PS3. Neither are smart TVs and I can get my netflix, amazon prime, hulu, etc. Technically the TV doesn't have wifi. You're just using the other devices wifi abilities.

Yes I believe soThe unit has a L/R rca jacks so if your blu-ray player has rca outputs it should be possible

Most likely Wifi from your DVD player would only function for DVD player app's and functions, and not for the receiver functions. This YWA-10BL is spotty on being a good product buyer beware!

Dave I am using mine with a non-smart TV and since everything goes through the Blu ray player this should not be the case . By the way this is an excellent unit and I have no problems watching any of my streaming services.

i read a response on the samsung site that said there have been issues when people are uploading firmware via wifi and their wireless network drops the signal - sounds like the best thing to do is download the firmware from your pc to a USB stick and insert that directly into the blue-ray player. I've ordered system but not installed yet.

Thanks Richard! I'll try the reboot first. I almost bought a Roku but needed a dvd player so just got that. So I can hook up the Roku and still have the blu ray player while using the Roku for streaming?I appreciate your advice!

Hi Action101, Sony BDPS580 Blu-ray Player has wi-fi capability and can stream videos from Netflix Youtube. Etc. -Vincent

I guess if you dont have a DLNA TV you can use the blu-ray player as receiver (connected to the tv).That would be why I would be looking for a DLNA enabled blu-ray player

Not if Samsung Blu-Ray already offers internet connection unless you need a channel that is on Roku but not Samsung. Go to Roku.com to see channels. Most devices have Netflix, HBOGo, etc.

Thanks for the answer in regard to the number of speakers. My blu-ray has Wi-Fi and that's why I asked about disabling Wi-Fi in the receiver. Thanks again.

if you inquiring if it is a "smart tv" (with built-in internet connectivity), no, it is notwhat I do is set up my apps such as Netflix, Vudu, Amazon Instant Video, et al on my blu ray player (which does have Wi-Fi)

Thanks R. Oxhorn and Noaxtogrind. You asked and answered my question. Just got the Samsung BD5700 for a gift and hope Samsung does update the Blu-ray to access Amazon's streaming.

I don't think so. The Blu-Ray Player has smart capablilty itsel. I hooked up the Blu-Ray Player to my non- smart TV.

There is an ethernet port on the back that connects to the router. That should work. Personally, I already have a Roku box so I just needed it for Blu-ray. I am very pleased with the unit.
