Can the USB port on the NS-BRDVE3 be used with a USB wireless 802.11g adapter to connect to the network instead of the ethernet port?

Hello bkmw,

Welcome to Community@Insignia™!

According to the owner's manual, the USB port on your player is for BD-Live functionality and wouldn't be useful for a wireless adapter.  However, Insignia offers a wireless Blu-ray model that may better suit your needs.  I hope this helps.

Regards,

What you need is a Wireless bridge device like the Netgear-WGPS606 is the best Wireless bridge around,
I have been using one for years now, both for my xbox 360 and my Eth. Printer, the Netgear-WGPS606
gives ANY device with an RJ45 Ethernet port wireless access.. you can still buy it new for $79
or off ebay for $26-34 with free shipping ..

Netgear-WGPS606  FTW for any Ethernet device to wireless access ..

$79 - New

and answer all the Q..

Note this device comes with 4 Eth. port and one USB Printer port ..
Do a search for: Netgear WGPS606

However, that model costs roughly $80 more.  As a consumer I know you can add the wireless for much less and I am not willing to pay that much more.  Our only alternative for wireless on the NS-BRDVD3 is a wireless bridge and unfortunately for us consumers you know that solution currently costs us consumers $60 - $100.  Manufacturers add both an Ethernet port and wireless to all modern computers and I would like to see all Blu-Ray players do the same. 

I just got this one as a gift and am now scratching my head why wireless was not included and shopping for a wireless bridge.

Or you could scratch your head and wonder why the person that gave it to you as a gift didn't spring for the wireless model in the first place.

If you have a laptop just create a wireless bidge using your laptop that is what i did.So when you need to go on blu-ray live just plug your laptop next to your blu-ray and that is it.
