Nope. You can't plug a USB WiFi adapter that's made for a computer into a component and connect to a network. You need to get a wireless media bridge like a Trendnet TEW-800MB...
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No it will not work with any of the . USB adapters like this require drivers and/or software to work. You need a gaming adapter that acts as a wireless bridge that connects to your wireless network and then has a network cable connector that you would then plug into a LAN port if any of your hardware has one. I assume they do otherwise you would be using the built in wireless or they are not smart enabled.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes that is exactly what I use it for and the xbox one
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I doubt that would work. You need to install drivers in order for the adapter to work properly on a PC. I don't know how you would get the correct drivers on one of these devices. If you need to get a network connection to these devices and they have an RJ-45 connector, consider getting a set of PowerLine adapters that use your home's electric wiring to provide a network connection.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is for use on computers only because a driver has to be installed and there is no driver available for a TV or the other devices mentioned.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
