My Samsung TV wont work?

Does a samsung TV need the Samsung wireless adapter to work? or can i use a different one?

• We just bought the blue ray player to go with our tv and bot are Samsung. We want to use our wireless internet to access pandora and netflix so will any other Wireless LAN Adapter work for the tv? or do i need to use the samsung wireless one?

• Answer:

  Some Samsung BluRay players come with the Samsung wireless adapter. The only USB wireless adapter that will work for ones that do not is the one from Samsung. But the ethernet port works for any network. So you could use a wireless bridge, or some routers (not many) can be configured as a wireless client. I am using an old Linksys WET11 wireless bridge for my Samsung BluRay player, and a Zyxel P-330W wireless router which can natively be set in "wireless client bridge" mode to connect both my desktop PC and an LG BluRay player. Linksys routers do not do that natively, but can using 3rd party firmware like dd-wrt (I have never used it) http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index If your TV has networking besides your BluRay player, the Zyxel P-330W would be a relatively inexpensive way to connect them both to your wireless network.
