Not Great By Stephen I got the Sony UWA-BR100 for my mid 70 year old parents when I updated their TV/home entertainment system. My goal was to simplify the system and have them use as few remote controls as possible. I had just installed a Netgear wireless N router in their upstairs office. The signal with the Sony adapter gave 2 bars reception with the device plugged directly into the TV 3 bars with the device plugged into the USB extension outlet and the reader on top of the TV cabinet. My parents found navigating the Sony menu to get to Netflix very confusing. I found that the poor reception would cause streaming issues. I knew that my folks wanted Netflix, but would never use it if they couldn't easily figure out how it worked. I ended up installing a Roku player into a separate HDMI input. I got four bars of reception with the Roku device inside the component cabinet and noticeably faster response loading Netflix movies. My parents could easily navigate the Roku remote. The price of this device is too high for what it is, and what it delivers. 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Does what it's supposed to do. By Bob I bought this to be used with my sony bluray player and it does a fine job of connecting to the wireless. No problems here. 13 of 14 people found the following review helpful. Worked very well By Michael A. Bynack I bought the UWA-BR100 Wireless adapter to go with a Sony BluRay player. I tried two other wireless adapters with the BluRay, but discovered that we had to have this specific type and model to make it work. The adapter worked exactly like it was supposed to. As soon as I plugged it in and started the BluRay it came up to the configuration page and allowed me to enter the access codes for my home WiFi. The reception on the unit is very good and it loads faster than the Netflix on our Wii. I'm a little disappointed in Sony for requiring you to purchase a separate piece to connect to the wireless LAN. See all 25 customer reviews...
