The LAN adapter works fine, after some difficulty with setup. Sony has no instructions for MACs online, and I didn't know about browser compatibility issues. Apparently, the Sony site requires Firefox, and Safari won't work properly.
I got help from an online tech support person. He was very helpful. There was no way I would have aniticipated the few simple problems I ran into.
Incidentally, don't use a router password that is too long. This creates problems with Netflix.

Well, first of all, I am upset that I had to buy this in the first place to make my WIFI ready Blu Ray player actually able to connect to the internet. Secondly, the unit came with NO directions whatsoever, I had to muddle my way through setting it up on the Blu Ray player set up screen. After many attempts to connect to my router, I still am unable to connect to the internet. My advice... buy a unit that actually IS already WIFI capable! And Sony, please give some better support for this unit. I am about ready to return it, and just give up on having internet on my blu ray player!

I used this with Sony KDL40EX729 to access Netflix. It is much more convenient without having to turn on my PS3 which can get a bit loud. Works like a charm! I started using my TV for Pandora as well. Definitely recommend this if hard wiring is not an option.

If you have a Sony Blueray player with Internet Streaming features, you have NO choice but to buy this adaptor. Aftermarket brands will not work, so save the trouble and get this asap!!!!!!!!!
Works great so why not...

It was a lot more simple to hook up than what the directions said. I just pluged it in, found the wireless network, and within 1 minute, POOF! I was done.
Comments about Sony UWA-BR100 Wireless LAN Adapter:
build quality is good...internet connectivity ok....must use a DNLA server to stream video from windows 7 x64 OS..sony neglects to make that clear...can watch youtube and other nonsense ..
firmware update does not allow windows to SEE blu ray player...a little disappointing.
