You won’t be disappointed by Samsung, and even with a 100 MBps Linksys wireless router, you’ll still be able to stream from NetFlix with little issue.
Thanks. My Linksys E2500 is rated up to 300Mbps so I shouldn’t have a problem.
Well, that dog didn’t hunt. I found the Samsung BlueRay player at Wal-Mart for less money than at Sears. It said on the box a USB Wireless Router (not included) would be needed. I have a Linksys USB router and the guy in the store said if it didn’t work I could get one of theirs. I hooked up the Samsung and my wireless router wasn’t recognized. Also, the on-screen setup kept searching for a Samsung Wireless Router. I went back to Wal-Mart and told him what happened. He said any of their newer routers would work so I bought a Linksys. Took it home and the Samsung wouldn’t recognize it as well. I go to the manual and it says I must us a Samsung USB Wireless Router. I called Sears and they don’t carry them in stock. Neither does Wal-Mart.
I returned both the Samsung and the Linksys router and got my money back. I told them that if they don’t start carrying the Samsung router they’re going to be getting most of these BlueRay players back (unless the buyers don’t care about online access). There was also a Sony BlueRay player but it also required a separate router. I passed on it. I’d gone through enough for one day.
