Player wont connect to internet via wireless connection- even when right next to the router. it will connect when i use an ethernet connection direct to the router. Any ideas? It did work initially, for about a week; then booted me off intermittently, now wont connect at all. The network is recognized, but when i put in the password, it just keeps 'cycling' like it's trying to connect, then eventually just gives up.

Make sure that your receiver says optical 1 or 2 on the front display.

I had a similiar problem with my BD390...Saw the SSID but not able to log on. I ended up performing a downgrade of firmware from LG's support page and corrected it. Afterwards upgraded firmware to current levels and works still ok.
Testimonial: "Thanks- i will try that too. At least part of the problem was a weak signal- for some reason the wireless card in the 390 does not work too well"

Get a Wireless Access Point ($30-$50 average). A wire from WAP to the Blu-Ray player should work like a charm. The WAP pretty much takes your wireless connection and transforms it back to a wired Ethernet connection for devices like this. You can have your Wireless Router on one side of your house and the WAP on the other, right next to your blu-ray player with a short Ethernet connection between the two. The player will just see it as a standard Ethernet connection.

If you are connected directly to your modem the problem might be that your ISP only allows either one connection, or you have to contact them to register the MAC address of your wired connection. The MAC address is a unique 12 digit number that every network device is assigned by their manufacturers. The reason you network test may be failing is because your Internet Provider's server is not authorizing that wired connection. Do the following:
1) Somewhere, either on your bluray player or possibly in your documentation, there will be two different MAC address numbers. They should be identified in some way so that you can tell that one of them is for the wireless connection, and the other is for the wired connection. Make a note of both of them.
2) Contact your Internet providers help desk. Tell them that you were able to connect to your modem wirelessly, but are unable to do so with your wired connection. They will then probably ask you for the MAC address for the connection. At that time they will either add the address for the wired connection, or if necessary, let you know if there is a charge for having more than one connection available to you.
That should resolve your issue for you. Thank you for the opportunity to assist you in resolving your issue.
