Wireless network and remote BD player help?

[Steve Stifler]

Hi
Thinking about setting up a wireless network. Already have a Dlink wireless modem/router.

Would like to be able to connect a PC, PS3 and stand alone BD player upstairs, plus another stand alone BD player in a room downstairs. Happy about digging out a wireless adapter and plugging that in. Should be able to get the PS3 running off it too.

What I don't know is how I can get the two BD players linked to the wireless network, so I can get firmware updates, and use the BD-Live functionality. Greatful if someone can tell me if this is possible, and what I would need to buy/do to achieve this please.
Thank you

you need a wireless to ethernet bridge - kinda like a wireless client adapter that connects via an ethernet port

most good wireless access points have this feature "client mode" e.g. a Netgear WG602 would do just fine

if you have more than one device, then you have a number of choices - buy an AP per switch, or a small 4 port ethernet switch and bridge that via the wireless AP, or a wireless bridge with more than one port - the Netgear WGSP606 is sold as a wireless print server, but in effect it can bridge 2 x USB printers and 4 x ethernet ports (your blu ray player) onto you wireless network

D-Links DAP-1522 works well for me linking a BD player & receiver to my router.
