When I set up my new wireless Samsung BD-D6500 Blu-ray I discovered that the WiFi signal in my home is not sufficient (distance from router) to allow for Netflix movie streaming. How to I hard wire it to the internet? My internet provider is Time Warner Cable. Do I connect the player to the cable box via Ethernet cable?

Welcome to Home Theater Forum Mary Beth.  Are you cable modem and wireless router the same box?  If so there are probably some additional Ethernet ports on it.  You need to get a cat5 or 6 Ethernet cable and plug one of these into the back on your Blu-ray player.  If they are in the same area its a piece of cake, just get an pre-terminated cable from Amazon; you don't need an expensive one, cheapest that's the length you need will be fine. 

 

If your Internet modem and router are in a different location there are a couple of things you can do:

 

 

Any of these should work for you.
