Renata dos Santos Tavares de Melo: O produto é ótimo e funciona perfeitamente, o problema é realmente a TV Samsung que é muito ruim. Não tem o app do Netflix que é simplesmente o app de streaming do momento, nem o primeiro ou Disney+ que seriam os seguintes na fila do pão…enfim, não serviu ao que eu precisava mas não por culpa do roteador, mas por que a Samsung deixa a desejar, e muito.

Anika: Works exactly as it should, although I should mention we had to buy this to replace one that was about 10 years old - we should have done it sooner. Fast and clear transmission. good price and fast shipping.

Paul S. Remington: This wireless LAN adapter has proven to be a surprisingly good performer. I connected it to our 6000-series Samsung LED TV, went into Network Settings, and it found it immediately. I entered our router password, and in a few seconds I was connected to our Asus router and able to access the Internet. The Smart TV functions all work flawlessly, and I'm getting an excellent connection to the router--fast and effective performance. I haven't experienced any dropped connections. If I notice any problems with connectivity or performance, I'll post an update here. If you see no update, you'll know it's still working great.

If you have a Samsung Smart TV and need a LAN adapter to access the Internet, this one works excellent with our router, and the price is reasonable. I recommend purchasing it through Amazon. Their return policy is very good. If you run into problems, call customer service and report it. You'll most likely be able to return it in exchange for a different model, possibly postage paid. They're very good about that.

Zon: This works well. Never dropped the signal. It was practically "plug and play" too. Setup was very easy. I just don't like Samsung's apps as much as I like Sony's ( I stream on my playstation). Netflix is different on Sony than it is on Samsung. Also, Samsung didn't have the Amazon video player last I checked. If this is your only option, then by all means, you won't be disappointed with the reliability. However, you might get more/better apps with another streaming device.

Benjamin J. Parrish: I moved into a new home where I wanted to stream movies to my TV; one upstairs, one downstairs. My modem and wireless router is in my "office", which means the signal has to go through at least two walls for each location. I haven't had the best luck with wireless in the past, especially when going through walls, so I tried an ethernet over powerline solution. That didn't work so well. The TVs were constantly dropping the network. Tried other devices (such as a Sony Blue-Ray player) and those didn't any better. So it wasn't the TVs.

The only other solutions were ethernet over coax, running ethernet cables through the walls, or going wireless. I figured ethernet over coax could have the same issues as ethernet over power lines, so I opted for wireless (bonus points, it was cheaper).

The setup involved was as follows:

1) Plugged up the LAN adapters to the TVs.
2) Disabled the wireless access control list on my router.
3) Copied down the router security pass phrase.
4) Went into network settings on each TV and set them to use a wireless connection.
5) Entered the pass phrase.
6) Added the TVs to the list of permitted devices.
7) Re-enabled my...

texan_176@yahoo.com: I got this adapter to add on to a Samsung BluRay player I bought a few years ago. Until recently I was running an Ethernet cable directly to the player to stream content. After a move I no longer had that option so I had to go wireless. This device just adds wifi to your existing Samsung TV or BluRay player. Setup was overly complicated when it did not need to be. With other wifi devices you go through 3-4 screens max and it starts working. With this the menus are full of information that you can not edit and there is really no need to display. Granted, that is the fault of the Samsung player and not the adapter but they work as a system so I would say it is not too user friendly. Once you do get it working the picture quality is good but if you stream something like a 3+ hour movie the adapter seems to be unable to keep up with the data and stops & reloads where you left off on subscriptions like Netflix. Obviously with a cable you get a better connection and easy flow of data but stopping 15-20 times in 3 hours is excessive. I have other wifi streaming devices for TV (Roku/Apple TV) that are on other TV sets and never have this problem using a signal from the same router...

Glenn B. Harvey: The product works great - once you get it installed. I was banging my head against the wall and getting nowhere until I hauled the Samsung blu-ray downstairs and updated the firmware, plugged it straight into the router and downloaded a firmware update. After that, installation ran smoothly. The manual really ought to give you a hint (and even instructions) that you may need to update the firmware.

Otherwise, it is a fine product. My router is in the basement almost under the steel bean that holds up the house. The blu-ray is on the second floor in the study where my wife really enjoys streaming Netflix movies and Pandora music when she's working. Never misses a beat - or frame. However, the instructions really should give you some hint that a firmware download may be needed.
