Connecting Laptop to Samsung 6 Series

by Bav_Singh Aug 6, 2009 11:00PM PDT

I just bought a Samsung 6 series and blu-ray bd-p1620. i understand that both the tv and blu-ray can connect to a laptop wirelessly but am struggling to figure out how to do this?

Any help would be appreciated,

Also i would like to connect the tv itself to the internet to get the yahoo widget features etc. For this do i have to have a samsung wireless usb router or will any do?

Don't you mean "to the internet"?

I'm finding folk that want to do things but are not clear what they really wantted to do. I read where you want the yahoo widget so let's skip the laptop since it's not where the widget or the internet is for now.

http://www.techradar.com/reviews/audio-visual/televisions/plasma-and-lcd-tvs/samsung-le40b651-593001/review shows it does have the capability so think over how you connect the internet to the TV rather than your laptop.

Yes, about any router will do. What do you have now?

LinkStick

Bav_Singh,

The network adapter you'll need is the LinkStick, part WIS09ABGN to connect wirelessly to the internet. I don't believe other adapters, such as the Belkin, will work.
