Ryan

Got a blu-ray player for xmas, the only internet hookup is thru a LAN port on the back. My PC is upstairs, and I don't want to install a network jack. Does anyone know of a product to use that will plug into my blu-ray and pick up my wireless network?

Answer
I would really recommend that you run an Ethernet cable, most wireless solutions are much slower than wired, and less reliable too. However, if you are adamant on wireless, http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-WL-330gE-Portable-Functions-Universal/dp/B0014L4ZKK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1293470551&sr=8-1

Is it possible to transfer a Blu ray drive from a Blu ray player into my Computer?

I have a Blu ray player that isn't being used because I'd rather play things from my PC. I was wondering if it is possible to open up my blu ray player and take the blu ray disk drive out and put into the open SATA spot I have on my motherboard.

Answer
If the Blu Ray's Drive architecture is SATA and the connecting Power jack also SATA then theoretically it's possible but either of those connections is incompatible then-- No.

Keep in mind the the amount of power required for a "stand alone" player might be a different voltage. So either you won't have enough juice to run the device or it might cause a power surge and kill your motherboard.

It may also be possible to connect via USB if adapters are available for that purpose. Research it before making any physical attempts. I applaud you for thinking outside of the box.

Good Luck.
