Need Help: Netflix and new Samsung TV

Feb 11, 2009 11:54AM PST

I just bought a Samsung ln52a850 tv, a Samsung 2500 blue ray and Samsung infolink wireless LAN adapter. How do I set up Netflix instant streaming? Can I do it wireless? Thanks.

Wireless adapter not an option
Feb 12, 2009 3:50AM PST

I also just purchased the Samsung BD-P2500 and from everything I have read and found, a wireless adapter is not an option, it must be an RJ45 connection.

That said, there are a variety of options.

- Run a Cat 5 connection to your entertainment center
- Run Ethernet over Power
- Purchase a wireless Ethernet bridge. (http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-WET54G-Wireless-G-Ethernet-Bridge/dp/B00008WMBT)

Good Luck

InfoLink wireless adapter
Feb 12, 2009 4:43AM PST

Gail.Piazza,

The InfoLink adapter is specifically for connecting the InfoLink services (News, Stocks, Weather), and is intended to connect only to a wireless router for those services.

There are cases where people have been successful with adapters to wirelessly connect the Blu-Ray to the internet, but we don't provide support for that functionality "officially".

Hope that helps!
