Now that I think about it though, this may be a case where Powerline Networking may work better.
I'm assuming that the player has an ethernet port though.

original was a gift of sorts. i saw the netflix thing on it, and figured it'd be easy/cheap to get going. i had a wii hooked up, so never had to bother til now.
i'll keep an eye out. thanks.

Uh ya. It's just like saying your car is a Chevy, and needing a part. Chances are good that Brake rotors are different on a Chevy Corvette, Chevy Suburban, and Chevy Aveo. Model is important too.

Unless your player has a magical (or technical) way of installing the drivers for that USB adapter and using it properly, I don't think it'll work.

Depending on the BRP you have not all USB wireless dongles are compatible. Do your research before spending the money.

Not really the software and ethernet jack are there, you just don't have a network that supports it easily. Honestly wired is better for streaming, way less problems.

Ya you just need a wireless bridge as people suggest. Probably cheaper to look at a newer faster player with wifi integrated unless you can find a used/refurbished dongle on ebay or something.

compatible usb adapter sounds like the cheapest way to go. otherwise i gotta buy a new br player that already has wifi built in, and sell this one to recoup some of the dough.
