I am able to connect my LG BD 370 to the internet through a Motorola Surfboard cable modem with a CAT 6 cable with no trouble. However, to activate the Netflix streaming option for the player, both the player and my computer need to be connected to the internet at the same time. The modem only has a slot for one ethernet cable, and I have to reboot the modem to switch the internet connection between the computer and BD player.
Is there a way to connect both devices simultaneously with my current equipment that I am overlooking? If I need an additional piece of hardware like a router or USB dongle, what is the cheapest option available to me?
I assume that once the initial activation is done, I only need to have the player connected to the modem to access the streaming movies. Is that accurate, or will I need both the computer and player connected whenever I want to watch the movies this way?
Thanks for your patience with these newbie questions. Hardware and network connection issues make my head spin.
