This is the one I am currently using: Netgear WNCE2001 Universal WiFi Internet Adapter. It works great. You will need to hook it up to a computer and enter your network settings. It takes you to a "webpage" to configure it as soon as you plug it in as it is plug'nplay. Once the settings are entered you can use on any device with an ethernet or usb connection. I use it on my Panasonic Blu-ray player (ethernet), TV (w/ ethernet), XBox360 and various computers when needed. It works great!! No Wires!!

Try the Netgear WNDA3100v2. I use the Panny adapter but bought the Netgear because it is the only one that works with my DishNetwork VIP612 receiver. Out of curiosity, I tried it on my Panny Bluray and it worked. Signal is slightly stronger with the Panny adapter but have no problem getting Netflix HD even though my router is downstairs and on the opposite side of a very large house.

Without knowing what system and OS you are using most gadgets today are plug and play. Just plug the usb dongle in the usb port and let the software drivers load then just use it.

No, this unit doesn't need one, it's built-in. And if your tablet (mine is a Nook 9" HD+) has Bluetooth capability, it also needs no dongle.

I would avoid, it uses a proprietary chip set so it needs drivers. I would use another generic dongle I think there is one from Mono. I can check my order history and let you know.

You can add the Samsung linkstick USB adapter for wifi, but I've seen it for $50 to $80.Today with the latest firmware 1032 I tried my cheap $15 tenda W522U USB wifi adapter I have for my rasbery pi and it worked. The tenda W522U adapter is a 2.4/5Ghz adapter but only runs on the 2.4Ghz with this blu ray player, I guess they don't have the 5Ghz drivers in the firmware. But it does connect on wireless A/B/G and N so it steams my ripped DVDs from my NAS good.

Via ethernet cable. I believe the Panasonic wifi adapter will work with this tv as well, but it didn't come standard with this model. If your internet doesn't connect right away, go into the tv menu, then network settings. Test it out, should work, then do a firmware update. Then go into vierracast and get the apps you want.

I just bought the Wifi Controller for Windows directly from Amazon and it does come WITH the USB transceiver for the PC. Buy it directly from Amazon if you want the transceiver with it.

Your computer needs a wireless adapter to connect to the WiFi network. If it does not have a built in adapter, then a USB dongle is a way to get WiFi on the computer. Note however, that the dongle will need specific drivers to be installed. Games consoles, smart TVs and similar devices may not have access to the required drivers, and it may not be possible to install such drivers. The same is true for a non-wireless router. Even if it has a USB socket, you will not be able to install drivers for a dongle if you did try and use one.

It works, but needs the dongle to work. Shouldn't be a problem unless you want it to work with more then one device at a time.

Pretty much any dongle should work. But make sure you get one of good quality, so that the sound you receive won't suffer.

EASILY -Just plug one of these into any USB port (front or back): Etekcity Wireless N WiFi Dongle / Network Adapter, Dual 6dBi Antenna, 4-feet Mini USB Cable (2.4GHz, 300Mbps)Done deal. Works FANTASTIC.- Ron

Yes. I have a bluetooth in my desktop system and it works with that too. No dongle needed.

I don't use a dongle, but if you have a bluetooth version 3.0 dongle, that should work.

No. You're talking about advanced networking drivers that need installation on a computer to work. You might be able to get an advanced firewall like a Sonicwall with a USB port for 3g modems, but I'm not familiar with your model of USB dongle, so YMMV.

This is the Panasonic wireless adapter- Panasonic DMP-BD77, SC-BTT190 and SC-BTT195 Wireless Lan Adapter (DY-WL5)

This is a bluetooth device, no dongle is needed unless your device does not have bluetooth.
