Urgent help..

Hi,

I am having a panasonic viera LED tv for which i am looking for the USB wlan adapter. Some of the website suggested me to go for netgear or panasonic wlan adapters which is very very costly. When i enquired in some fo the electronic shots, i fould d-link usb wlan adapter is available which is very cheaper..

Can anyone guide me whether i can go ahead and use that for my TV.. pls advice..

Its a gamble. The TV must have software to talk to a wireless USB card. It must include all the screens to set all the options for the wireless. This is getting more and more standard so in the future the answer may be yes. For now either you can buy it and try it and post your finding to a number of sites or you can hope someone else has done that.

As common as this question is maybe one many testing sites will do a article on it but I have not seen one yet.

You other option is to use the ethernet port and use a external bridge/adapter to do this. Unfortunately it may not be much cheaper to do that than buy the support USB.

The easiest and simplest solution is to use ethernet cable. The TV already has many other cables going to it for other purposes so its just a question of how hard is it to run one more
