I have a Linksys Wireless-G Router I have been using for a couple of years for my two computers. I just purchased a Samsung Blu-Ray DVD player. It came with it's own wireless adapter and is Net Flix, Youtube ready, however it is not seeing my router.
What do I need to do to to get the two to see each other? Please, I am not a computer guru so a step by step approach would be helpful.

It will be the configuration of the router than needs attention. Many routers allow locking down of MAC addresses and/or hiding the SSID (Service Set Identifier). You will need to log into the router and open a connection to the BluRay player's MAC address.
The router's default address will be 192.168.1.1 (or maybe 192.168.0.1) so open a browser on the computer and go to http://192.169.1.1 ... see the documentation that came with the router for the default username and password.
It may also be a distance, frequency problem. Use a utility like inSSIDer http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider (on your wireless laptop) to determine if your router's signal is conflicting with neighbors. If there is strong signal overlap on the same channel as your router, select another less-used frequency from the router's web page.
The LynkSys site should have good resources for troubleshooting ... and this seems useful enough too. http://www.tech-faq.com/setup-linksys-router.shtml

ok, so i might say the 360 Elite, simply by fact the PS3 is in simple terms good simply by fact it has a outfitted in Blu-ray equipment. The Xbox does no longer % a $a hundred dollar adapter and you're able to be able to get an extension Ethernet cable for $20 tops, and stay is properly actual worth the fifty dollars. I actual have offered it hundreds of circumstances and that's been properly worth it each time. all of the different video games are for the two between the consoles, yet i've got self belief that the 360 had greater reward. additionally, the PS3 internet won't be able to continually be wonderful, advert it lags lots greater advantageous than the 360's. it extremely is my opinion, good luck getting one.

Make sure that SSID Broadcast is enabled on your wireless router.

Your router has to see it, and assign an address to it, or you can manually assign an address to it.
