Ok, here is the deal.
I bought a blu ray player for my birthday. It is a Samsung that works nice, but there is one problem that I am trying to work around.
It is "wireless ready- just attach wireless network device" according to the box, which is why I bought it over the Panasonic that was the same price. I get home only to discover that in order to go wireless, you need to buy the Samsung wireless dongle which runs about 80 bucks. So much for truth in advertising.
Now being the cheap bastard that I am, it is time to look for alternatives. I currently use a Netgear wireless router, but have a Linksys wireless access point sitting in a box as well. Is it possible to use the linksys as a bridge so that it will receive the signal from the Netgear? That way I could just run a network cable from the access point to the blu ray rather than shell out 80 bucks for the Samsung dongle.
I have done some reading and everything I have run across so far says that you need to use the same product for your wireless router and the bridge (two linksys units, etc). Trying to find a way to use the different manufacturers to get the same result.
I could take the blu ray back and get the next model up with wireless built into it, but this would be cheaper and will give me something to do today.
