Bought this to use with Netflix & possibly Pandora but have yet to use it for that yet. Like all wireless devices, subject to network slow-downs depending on your provider, other site traffic, etc. However, the wireless adapter works fine with other features like Facebook, Yahoo, Weather, etc. but just don't see myself using those features on my TV rather than the computer. Still, I recommend this purchase to leave future options open if you have the extra cash..

Glad I got it before it was out of stock

Written By Matt, Mississippi on Friday, January 08, 2010
 
I purchased this to go along with my Samsung LN37B650 HD LCD television and my Samsung BDP-1600 blu-ray player. Works great. Just go into Network settings on both, put in the password, and that's it. You're instantly connected to the internet.

If I hadn't ordered this with my LCD TV, I'd be kicking myself. Great addition to the
features of the TV. Shame it wasn't built in, but well worth the price. Connected to our
Linksys G network and ready to go in less than five minutes. Movie streams from Netflix
are smooth!
