I got this player just to connect to Netflix and have had it about 2 weeks. So far the player works great with Netflix. Navigating the menu is slower than accessing Netflix via computer with a Browser, but it's certainly fast enough. . .It helps to use the computer to set up the entry-intensive things. I haven't seen any hint of the streaming video menu and navigation problems reviewers described with earlier generations of players and with other manufactuers.I have cable broadband operating at about 3 Mbps, though the speed can drop as low as 1.5 Mbps. So far the player dropped the video playback once, for whatever reason. . .I don't know if the problem was the connection at my local network, the cable co. or Netflix. Regardless, I restarted the video from the point it stopped in a few seconds with a couple button presses.As for the player's connection to my network. . .I already had a wireless router that can also be set to a wireless access point in the cabinet to run my printer. I just plugged the player into that wireless access point and so far have had no problems with network speed. If I find the wireless connection seems slow, I can run a wire to the player directly from my main router.For those lousy "Wireless Ready" players that only work with the manufacturer's expensive thingy, I recommend using a wireless access point and telling the manufacturers to shove it's proprietary wireless dingus up their collective private place.---------------------Actually, I have a "'true' wireless access point" and that "wireless router that can be set to an access point". The difference between using the two is that MY "true" wireless access point only has ONE network cable plugin port. The wireless router, once set as an access point, has FIVE cable plugin ports. Since I already needed the printer connection there, I used the ROUTER as the wireless access point so I could plug 2 things into it directly. If I used the "true" wireless access point, I also would need to add a splitter (another piece of equipment PLUS another AC power plug) at the location.I've gone through all this explanation just to say that; if you're going to buy a wireless access point, you may as well make sure to get one that can accept, directly, all the network connections you need at that location and if you get a "true" wireless access point, it might only have ONE network cable connection port.---------------------I can't comment on playing Blu-Rays since I've only used Netflix so far. However, the player did a good job with a DVD I quickly ran through to make sure the disk was playing OK.

Edit - November 26, 2011It's been a few months since my last edit so I'm checking in again.LG took back my original defective player and sent a refurbished unit. This has been working fine for a few months. The customer service rep was going to charge $70 labor for them to take a look at it. I refused, saying I could get it new for $80 (which I could), and LG waived the fee as a "one time curtesy".The TV's Regza link still isn't working.The major annoyance now is the Netflix application. It works nicely for movies, but only lists up to about 100 episodes of any TV show.This is a real problem for any TV series that lasted four or more seasons. I keep hoping for a software update to fix this and the Regza link, but I am giving up hope.I'm lowering my rating to four stars. It's not as good as my first impression, but still well worth what I paid.Edit - August 25, 2011Well, I'm back to comment on this item after owning it for about four months.1. After a firmware update (not sure which one) my Regza-link from my Toshiba TV stopped working. Not a big problem but it's annoying having to use two remotes when I was using one earlier.2. Just now, putting in a blu ray disk, the player spun up noisily for a couple of minutes, then spat out the disk with the message "check disk". Same thing with three other Blu rays that played fine at the weekend. DVDs and CDs work. Network is fine. I'll be contacting LG to see what they say about this and will come back.Depending on the outcome, I may be changing the rating.--- Original Review ---This Blu-ray player has features that were premium not so long ago. For what you pay, you get a lot. Network support and Netflix is the new baseline for Blu-ray players.Setting up the player was a breeze, as was Netflix set up. It automatically detected my 1080p TV and switched to its resolution. I haven't tried Vudu or CinemaNow yet, but I'm looking forward to trying out HDX streaming from Vudu. It also comes with YouTube, and as always with such device, search is difficult but not impossible.The speed of opening the tray to viewing your Blu-ray disk is surprisingly fast (especially if you were one of the early adopters with an older Blu-ray player). In comparison to the Blu-ray functionality, Netflix access can seem laggy, but this is due to it having to communicate with the Netflix servers.Remember, this is not WiFI enabled or even WiFi ready. If you need internet support, you need to have an internet connection either near the player, have the ability to string a cable to it, or buy and install a wireless access point. I was fine since my AT&T UVerse connection is right beside the TV.One of the 1 star reviewers returned two for being defective, in that it would keep switching on after power down. This is likely due to its CEC support (eg. REGZA Link on my Toshiba TV) - it will turn on if it detects that the TV is switched to the Blu-ray input or if you keep the TV on the same input. It will remain off if you switch off the TV or choose a different input source. Or you can probably disable CEC on the TV. It's not a defect.There are really no cons - it's a great deal if you're not concerned with what currently differentiates premium Blu-ray players, 3D or wireless. You would have paid $200-300 for this a year ago.
