Sony BDP-BX1 - getting it on-line

[GerryMS]

Bear with me . . . I am attempting to get my Blu-Ray DVD player on-line to download updated firmware from Sony.

As stated in the BDP-BX1 manual, a Ethernet Wireless converter is required.

Obviously the Blu Ray disk player has an Ethernet port, and we have a LinkSys Wireless network in our home, does anyone know if ANY Ethernet Game adapter will work?

I am looking at Linksys model WUSB54G specifically.

Thank you!

I very happy with my Sony BDP-BX1, a little slow ejecting, and starting a Disc but not as painful as previous models

I'm not sure if the product you listed will work. The WUSB54G doesn't have an RJ45 port only a USB. Take a look at the WGA54G. This will use a standard ethernet cable to go from the back of the Sony to the adapter. One more thing. You need to configure the game adapter on your PC before you connect it to the sony. I hope this helps.
