well you need a router, if your router is on the same room you can just connect it using an ethernet cable however if the router is in another location you have 2 options wireless bridge (most of them are expensive ( about $90 for a wireless G adapter + they are hard to set up)

I have this is a better solution does not need to set-up and is really fast and reliable you need this kit

http://www.amazon.com/Actiontec-Mega...3729656&sr=8-1

it use your home powerlines. you connect one to the router and the other one to the blu-ray player. just make sure you connect them directly to the outlet (they don't work well if you connect it to a powerstrip) they are capable of transferring data at 85 Mbps.

the good thing is that once you have one connected to the router you can add others for like $40 I have one for my LG one on the other room for the 360.

I agree with max. I use the powerline adapter and it works great. I wasn't sure I would be able to trust the wireless gaming adapter.
You could always buy both, try both and return the one that works the poorest.
Streaming Netflix is awesome and worth the effort
