When I originally purchased this the site said that it would connect to netflix, pandora, hulu plus and more. Since I received the player we have found out that it doesnt play hulu at all and there is no way to connect to a browser to search for hulu. Its strictly just Netflx, Cinamanow, pandora, and youtube that you can connect to the internet, dont let the AND MORE fool you. Thankfully they took down the hulu plus connection since but they need to take off the and more. Other than that its a decent player.

Not bad for the price, great pic. The only bad thing is that you need to conect it to Internet with the cable (not wifi) other than that it's a good product

I really didn't want to spend much on a blu -ray player. My goal was to have an alternative to the laptop for watching Netflix. It just didn't occur to me that a bluray player wouldn't have wifi. But it worked out, I put a splitter on the cable going into the TV cable box, moved the modem over to the entertainment center and this has been a great change. I'm listening to Pandora on the bluray player. Very happy.

I was under the impression that I could use wifi.even reading the description on best buy it looks like I should be able to, but that's not an available option with this model. I love samsung, & the quality is great, it's just not what I thought I was buying.

Does not have Hulu

This product does not have Hulu plus, it says it does in product features but that is a mistake. It works well but I am returning because it is not what I wanted. If you want Hulu plus do not buy this one.

Great for setups near routers.

I expect this player to come with WiFi, because I have never seen a smart-BluRay player without WiFi. For something that 50% of it's features rely on internet access, it should have something other than wired Ethernet.
