Wireless Adapter
The product works great and does what it is supposed to. However, the price is to high. Samsung is taking advantage of this product with a high markup.
Eddie's review
This product is working perfectly the way I expected it to perform. I connected to my Samsung Blu-ray Disc player, and wow, am on the net, watching movies from Netflix, listening to choice music from Pandora, and YouTube. I do not regret purchasing it.
Works well with my Samsung TV and my wireless network
Works well with my Samsung TV [LN52B750] and my wireless network, using WPA2. Simple to setup and use.
Returned it because the function was lame
This wireless adapter does not allow your HDTV to wirelessly connect to the internet like you might want to for browsing the internet, watching YouTube videos, etc. It only connects to the internet to have USA Today news, Weather and Stock tickers.
It took hours to get this thing to be accepted by my highly secure wireless signal and after all that trouble, it has very limited features.
I sent it back to Amazon and they were great at crediting me right away and reimbursing me for the return postage.
Hooray for Amazon! Boo for this LinkStick.
(Supposedly, if we had the higher model HDTV, there is another LinkStick that allows full internet capability.)
Peice of junk, go wired if you can
Connected this to my Samsung LN46B650 46 inch LCD TV and connected to my wireless network with no problem, but a day or so later it had lost it's connection to the network and no matter what I did short of unplugging it from the TV for a day or so and then plugging it back in and going through setting up the network connection again it would not re-connect. Problem is in a day or so I would have to repeat the whole process.
Samsung tech support is totally worthless! All I ever got from them was useless canned responses that did not even begin to address my problem.
Gave up and ran a network cable from the router to the TV, problem solved.
I will not buy Samsung again, you pay good money for a product you expect decent support, not the garbage tech support I got!
