Adding Wireless Functionality To The BDP-S470: Do I need Sony's wireless fob/adaptor to make this wireless or can I use any adaptor?

You could always pick up an ethernet to wireless bridge. I'm not sure you would save any money and it would probably be more difficult to hook-up. However, that's an option. I have a wired router hooked up to my entertainment center and it works great.

Hi,Wifi and Bluetooth are standard in my config. I would recommend that you contact the seller for the config you are looking for. Hope this helps.

I think it can be con neglected to an existing wired system. Not sure about wireless. Do not buy this model. Very buggy. If you buy, get newer version

I went with "TP-LINK HA100 NFC-Enabled Bluetooth 4.1 Audio Adapter/Music Streaming Receiver" because I have an pile of usb power inputs and a drawer full of power adapters. I'm sure logitech will have a usb power supply in their next version of this. This is likely why they have no image of the back where the inputs are as most similar devices do. BTW, We just use a "3.5mm male to male cable" in the car that doesn't have bluetooth and pass one end around depending on who's playing the music.

This unit uses an ethernet port or a wifi adapter-of course the adapter must be a Sony adapter! No bluetooth as far as I know.

I'm trying to do the exact same thing. I have a Sony BDP N460, a blu ray player with an ethernet port but no wireless. First let me suggest what I'm currently using. The Netgear XAV101 PowerLine AV (look for the product that includes two units) which sends internet through your existing power wires. You connect an ethernet cable from your router to one of these devices plugged in to an outlet. Then take the second device and plug it in where you want internet access. Ideally you can get about 150 Mbps (when I connected to the next room). But where I need to go is across the house and the speed is at best 47 Mbps. The bottom line however is that it totally works. I can stream Netflix content (in HD) no problem. The quality is noticeable reduced, but definitely watchable, and for content you're not going to watch on blu ray disc anyways, might not be an issue. Now for the question at hand, I just received this item you are asking about. I was hoping it would grab internet wirelessly from my wireless N router. I'm thinking that yes another one may be required. For just under twice as much there is this product http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00126R3P6/ which includes two wireless bridges. This may be what we're looking for. I can't understand why there isn't simply a single device that will connect wirelessly to my wireless router and give internet access to a network device. But maybe it's possible if the tech said so. I hope so otherwise I'm spending more money and I want to stick with Netgear because my experience and the general consensus is that their devices are more reliable than others. And I just noticed the post is a year old. Well maybe this will help someone.

As long as you can plug the receiver into your home network using an ethernet cable, and your home network includes WiFi (as I assume it does) to connect to your portable devices, then there is no need for a wireless network adapter.

It should work. It is powered via usb, very simple just plug into the sony usb connection and the other connector into sony Ethernet connection (you must first do very simple programming via your pc, your must set it for your home wireless network). I'm not sure if your sony has usb connection in the back, it would be very handy and will not be visible.

It doesn't have wireless functionality. You can buy a USB wireless adapter, however.

Don't think so. Manual says it comes on 'select models' of the 55 series, and that if it didn't come built-in it can be added via USB or ExpressCard Bluetooth module, but I can't find it in my Network connections options.

The A5000 does not have IR, so this infrared remote won't work, you can use a WiFi remote or connect it to your smart phone with the Sony PlayMemories App installed.

According to one review, that person couldn't get this wireless adapter to work with a Linksys, so they purchased a different router. I'm not positive if it is pertinent, but I believe Linksys has some type of OneButton setup feature for wireless adapter configuration called SecureEasySetup. I've never used that feature, but I once had to turn it off to get an adapter to work with it. You might try that. Turn off the SecureEasySetup option in the router options and see it that works. It's just a guess on my part, but I do have some experience with the Linksys router family. Also, be sure to Dhcp feature in your router so the Sony adapter can get an address automatically.

This USB WLAN adapter is not compatable with your BDP-S360 nor KLV32W400. Your Sony Blu-ray player or Bravia television must be WLAN ready for use.If you wish to wirelessly connect your BDP-S360 a gaming adapter would be required such as the WET610N Cisco Linksys - Dual-Band Wireless-N Ethernet Bridge. With Internet connectivity you will have access to BD-Live and automatic updates. Please note this USB adapter will not add internet services to your device that are not presently listed.

The XBR9 does not have a built-in WiFi adapter unlike the LG BD390. Your TV should be connected to your router either with an ethernet cable or through a wireless bridge. Sony officially supports Linksys by Cisco WET610N Wireless-N Ethernet Bridge with Dual-Band. See http://esupport.sony.com/referencebook/en/xbr9/pages/gettingstarted/networksetup.html

It doesn't use bluetooth. It's Sony's proprietary stuff similar to wifi. You must use Sony software.

Dear RevRick, Thanks for your inquiry. The STRDH750 has bluetooth, but it not wi-fi ready. The next model up in the Sony line, the STRDN850, is wi-fi ready. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo
