Wireless network adapter for Sony BDPs - Blu-ray Forum

Eldorado · 11-30-2008, 03:56 PM

Has anyone found a wireless adapter to hook up the Sony BPD-S350 or S550 to a wireless network? I don't have any wired connections anywhere near my setups and I would like to check out the BD-Live stuff.

pretty sure you're only way around it would be to get a wireless access point, like this http://www.ebuyer.com/product/112497

Is it easy to install? How do you configure it without being connected to a computer monitor?

IF it's anything like the Linksys unit I have, you can't configure it by itself. You're going to have to connect it to your router and use your PC to configure it.

You can use an Apple AirPort Express Base Station and manually configure it to extend your existing wireless connection from your wireless router. Then plug the S350/S550 into the base station's Ethernet port. You can also use the base station to stream music from your computer to your stereo. I have the Dark Knight BD and the BD live content is pretty minimal. Nothing exciting.

However, the wireless connection will be great for future firmware updates.
