This DVD Player is great and for details on how good it is, look at the other reviews on Amazon. The purpose of my review is to help people who purchase this player and own a DLink DIR655 router. Most likely, you will find that you can't run Netflix or YouTube videos over the wireless connection. I was very frustrated trying to get the wireless interent to work on this DVD Player. I kept thinking the signal was weak. After wasting a day trying to get it to work, I went online looking for a solution. After checking everything I could find, I discovered what needed to be done. My router had firmware version 1.21. The LG BD390 won't work with the DLink DIR655 via wireless if your router has this version or older of firmware. You will have to upgrade to version 1.31. (Warning: Once you upgrade to 1.31, you can't go back down to 1.21 and some people have claimed it has problems. But I've only seen an improvement in my router). Follow DLink's instructions on upgrading your firmware. You'll have to reset your modem and then put your settings back like you had them. After upgrading to v1.31, a new feature will be added called "SecureSpot". You'll have to log into your router and in the menu under "Advanced", disable "SecureSpot", then save your settings. After doing this on my router, I retried connecting to Netflix and it worked flawlessly. So did YouTube. I noticed too, that the signal strength indicator on the LG menu, now showed full strength instead of only half, as it had previously. So yes, the LG BD390 will work with the DLink DIR655 but you may have to do a little work if the firmware is outdated. Hope this helps all the frustrated DLink DIR655 users!Get more detail about LG BD 390 Network Blu-ray Disc Player.
