    Blu-ray player - wireless adapter?

    I'm looking to get a blu-ray player. All of the ones I'm looking at do BD Live and have Ethernet ports but none of them are wireless. Does anyone have any experience of using a wireless adapter/bridge with a blu-ray player?

    The device on the end of the adaptor doesn't matter, doesn't matter if its a blu-ray player or a xbox 360 they all must follow strict standards to work with networks

    Re: Blu-ray player - wireless adapter?

    Ok. I've set up internal wireless adapters and our laptops have internal ones but I've never had cause to buy an ethernet/wireless bridge adapter, so I'm not sure if there's anything to look out for. Are there different types? Any known to be better than others?

    [Edit] Just had a thought: it's going to be right near my HTPC - is there any mileage in getting a bridge with > 1 port (if such a thing exists, or using a hub) and sharing it between the blu-ray and the HTPC? Is that likely to work better than having two wireless devices in such close proximity?
