“Is there a way to specify the SSID when I set up this adapter? For security reasons, my wireless router is set up to not broadcast its SSID. Is there any way to set up this adapter in this situation. No explanations of setup seem to deal with this situation. If not, if I turn on broadcasting of the SSID, setup the TV/Adapter and then turn off broadcasting will that work?”

Actually, it would be your TV or BD Player that will have the networking software needed to enter all of your network's information. The Linkstick only facilitates the WiFi connection, but it will not offer any of the options that are required for you to properly connect to the home network. That job is done by your TV's or BD player's internal software. That said, if your TV/BD Player does not support any sort of networking functionality, the Linkstick will not be able to add additional functionality. Again, the Linkstick can only facilitate a network connection to your network capable device. However, if your device does offer network features, then you should be able to type in your non-broadcasted SSID into the TV/BD Player, which will then allow the TV/BD Player to connect to your home network through the Linkstick.
