Can you connect a blu ray player to the internet through a usb connection?

I have a blu ray player that only has a wifi connection. There is no ethernet port but it does have a usb port. I know a wired connection is far superior than a wireless connection. So is there a way to connect to the internet with some sort of usb wire that connects to the modem?


Answer
sorry, no. See on this device it would seem that the USB is there only to use as a storage device (if you are watching movies you have saved onto your computer you watch them through a thumb drive on the player) Yes a wired connection CAN be faster....if it's over the proper TYPE! See wifi can allow for pretty fast speeds, but the USB is generally limited. USB has different types, each one faster than the last, but still fairly slow here's an idea of transfer rates! USB2.0=480mb/s USB3.0=5000mb/s ethernet= (10 base-t)10mb/s (100 base-t) 100mb/s (1000 base-x) 1000mb/s thunderbolt (only for MAC)=10gb/s (this is the fastest transfer rate you can find without specialized equipment) so that's for different types of wired connections WiFi CAN be faster, but this is dependent on how well the devices are working. Now as far as ACTUALLY CONNECTING to the internet, only with a dongle that you purchase, which ONLY allows wifi connection (pointless since you're already connected). USB isn't really made for internet but rather for file transfers. The point is, that NO you can't connect a USB port to your router for the uses that you want it for!

What is a good blu-ray player? I dont want bottom line?

Answer
PS3 is by far the best. You get the CELL Processor, gaming system, internet browser, the ability to hook up a keyboard and mouse, YellowDog Linux open, amazing load times on movies, 1080p resolution, up-scales DVD's and up to 7 controllers at one time.

The PS3 from reviews and critics alike is being regarded as the BEST Blu-Ray player. I personaly own a 60GB PS3 and watch Blu-Ray on it all the time. It is also worth the great price. All that stuff for 500 or 600 dollars.....fantastic.

Get a PS3.

Does an external Blu Ray player work on a Samsung Google Chromebook?

I am possibly getting a Samsung Google Chromebook and I am mainly getting a new laptop for school and to watch my Blu Rays or DVDs anywhere. I want to get an external Blu Ray but I only want to get a laptop if it will be able to play my blu rays or DVDs on the external one. Plus I figure the 6.5 hour battery will come in handy for movies. I just want to know if it will play on that?


Answer
No.

2 problems:
1: Most laptops do not have a video INPUT. They do have a video OUTPUT so you can connect them to a projector/monitor/TV but not for using your laptop's monitor for your blu-ray player.

2: The Chromebook is not a standard Windows or MacOS laptop. It runs a special version of Linux and is focused mainly on running a web browser, its plugins and related apps. For this reason, I would not recommend a Chromebook for a college student.
