Will an HDMI 1.4 cable allow this player to share an internet connection with a smart tv or a tv connected via an ethernet cable?

Mine is HDMI connected to my WiFi and works just fine. The only issue is the clunky way you navigate without owning a Samsung TV / Mouse.

Dear Customer, Thank you for your interest with Bluerigger cables! When one HDMI device is connected to the Internet, the Ethernet channel allows other devices to utilize it for their own network connections instead of wiring an Ethernet cable to each. All HDMI devices, cables and distribution equipment (such as an HDMI switch or splitter) that are attempting to use the HDMI Ethernet channel must support the feature. For more information about HDMI with Ethernet channel, please visit http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/hdmi_1_4/hec.aspx":http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/hdmi_1_4/hec.aspx Kind Regards, Bluerigger LLC service@bluerigger.com

No. Smart TV's are wired into the internet and have the capability to play media from it in addition to standard TV capabilities via antenna or satellite/cable

I'm not sure, but perhaps you should the use best internet connection possible. I am wireless but use the best HDMI cable I could find. Make sure the connection has the highest signal possible or go to a direct ethernet solution. Hope this helps.

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.

hi, if the tv specifies ethernet--yes it will work fine. I use 5e cable (and one 6 somewhere) they work fine.

Brian L. Peterson, Yes, there is an Ethernet port along with Wi-Fi included in the player itself. Netflix and Vudu are supported Apps on the BD-H6500. Thanks for your interest in Samsung Blu-Ray players. --Mr. S

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 have an HDMI cable if I want to see the pictures on the TV. I don't have a smart TV. The wifi is so simple to use that if your TV is wifi capable it most likely will work.

Yes you can. I use it to wirelessly connect a tv/bd player but anything with an ethernet connection can be connected.

If the laptop connects to the internet in any room why wouldn't the ethernet cable run from the laptop to the player? Seems like it should work.

Hi, John. If your TV has an ethernet or Wi-Fi capability, it should be able to connect to the internet.

Honestly...this product is not going to do anything for your TV. You need something like the "Mini MK802 Android 4.0 Google TV Box HD IPTV Player PC Allwinner A10 1G DDR3" if your goal is to make your TV a "smart" TV. I have not bought one, but it is on my to buy list as my TV has a USB port, but does not have an ethernet port. This will allow me to get the Android Netflix app etc. Amazon won't let me include a link but you can buy that device here at Amazon.com

The connectivity capabilities of the TV and Blu-ray player aren't meant to transfer content, but to connect each device to the internet. Your WiFi Blu-ray player will still be connected to your TV via HDMI, it's just that the Blu-ray player will be able to stream Netflix, for example. When a TV like the UN55B8500 is connected to the internet over WiFi, it can do things like get weather forecasts, or stream Amazon on-demand video from Yahoo! TV widgets.

No, you cannot in the way you probably mean. You could watch movies on Netflix or other apps on the smart tv but not from a blu ray disc and you wouldn't need this player. Relatively rare and expensive products can transmit hdmi signals wirelessly, but it cannot be done over standard WiFi. There is far too much data after it has been decompressed by the blu ray player.Why do you want to do this? A low profile active hdmi cable may be the best solution for you. This is one of the smaller players out there so maybe you can find a spot near the tv and use a small hdmi cable.

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.
