LG LHB335 wireless (1 Viewer)

[MattSZ]

I purchased the LHB335 home theater in a box and thought it had wireless. Apparently it has just wired connections though. I see this product http://www.amazon.com/LG-AN-WF100-Wi-Fi-USB-Adaptor/dp/B003F9HH2W/ref=pd_sim_e_4 but the details say that it's not for my model. It's really not feasible for me to run wire to my TV. So three questions.


1. Will any old USB wireless adapter work just plugged into the USB port for pictures, music, etc? (doubt it)

2. Is there another LG product that can do this?

3. Worst case, is there a wireless device of some kind that has a RJ-45 output that I can just connect to the LG, making the LG think that I have a wired connection?


Thanks!

Welcome to Home Theater Forum Matt. I think you are out of luck when it comes to a wireless USB dongle for the TV, but there are two options that should work. You could use a powerline network adapter. Its a box with a wired network jack that plugs into an outlet. A second box plugs into an outlet next to your router and is connected to your router via cat5. That is probably the best solution. You could also try a wireless ethernet bridge, but I have personally had intermittent issues with these (granted it was a cheaper off brand). Here are some examples:
