No, but it will allow you several hours of headaches while trying to fix it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Most likely not. Your device needs to have a driver tow work with this device and I doubt the ability to use this device is built into your player. What I did for one of my players was buy a Wi-Fi bridge and then use a short network cable to connect to the bridge. I'm not sure if Best Buy currently stocks any bridges, sometimes referred to as a range extender. You have will make sure the device has a wired network port and that your player has a jack to connect to a wired network. D-Link currently makes an AC1750 range extender that looks like it would work likely work for you. I just found an online manual for your player and see it does have a wired LAN port so my suggestion should work for you. in my case it was an older Samsun player and they wanted a rather high price for their Wi-Fi adapter at the time I spent less than a third of what they wanted to implement the bridge option. I just looked and Best Buy offers a number of D-Link range extenders that along with a network cable should work for your needs. From the manual for your player it looks like it's just a 100mb network port so there would be no real advantage of getting an AC range extender over an N one. That is unless you have more devices you want to connect with it. If you have a smart TV that you would also like to connect and are facing the same issues then add an inexpensive switch to the range extender(bridge). I'm a systems administrator for me setting everything up was easy. Some people might find it a challenge others will find it easy.
