Samsung BD-C6500

Pros: 1) Excellent blu-ray video and audio
2) Large app selection.
3) Pandora, Netflix all setup within minutes and work flawlessly.
4) Boot time for a disc (<10 sec) and streaming Netflix (<30 sec).
5) Functional remote.
6) Sleek piano black console.

Cons: 1) Will not work with WPA2 and/or TKI encryption!
2) Diagnostic messages and setup not clear.
3) Fix: Set router to WPA, change password to < 10 char all numeric, reset player by pressing stop for 5 sec, update firmware, auto connect to network.

Summary: Does not support WPA2 encryption!! but GREAT once fixed!!

Wifi connection issues are well known with this unit (Google it). After much research and many iterations, this worked for me.

1) Disable your router encryption (no worries only temporary).
2) Change your network password to all numeric and < 10 characters.
3) Reset the blu-ray player by pressing and holding the stop button on the console 5 seconds (note this will lose other settings, passwords, etc. if you have had partial functionality).
4) Update to latest firmware on the blu-ray player (under Settings, Support).
5) Set your router to WPA encryption (NOT WPA2! - WPA2 is not supported for now and this is the root cause). AES is OK but do NOT allow TKI (not supported for now either)! (Samsung and all sellers should flag the lack of WPA2 support)
6) Go to the Settings menu and select Network.
7) Follow the prompts for Auto setup and select your network (Samsung calls it Access Point).
8) Enter the network password created in step #2 when prompted.
9) You should be connected in a minute or so and see the red WiFi symbol on the console display!

Now the good stuff!
1) Once connected, this player is outstanding!
2) Excellent blu-ray video and audio.
3) Pandora, Netflix all setup within minutes and work flawlessly.
4) I am amazed at the boot time for a disc (<10 sec) and streaming Netflix (<30 sec and you are watching a movie).
5) The streaming video and audio quality impressed me - very close to that of a disc.
6) The menu skins are modern and Pandora is flat out addictive!
7) The remote, while not the prettiest, is very functional with large tactile buttons logically organized.
8) The player itself with black piano finish and touch sensitive console buttons looks classy and sleek.

All in all, highly recommended once the wi-fi problem solved!
