Samsung BD 3600 won't sync up w/ Apple

[Musicarcade99]

I have a Samsung BD-P3600 Blu-Ray with Netflix streaming and Pandora capabilities. I also an Apple TV at the same location.

At my computer (IMac 20") I have an Apple Extreme for wireless streaming, and use it as my router

The problem is that the Blu-Ray will not talk to the Apple Extreme, which means that I don't have the Netflix and Pandora enabled at the TV. I can see my network and a neighbors when I do a search for connections within the Blu-Ray setup screen, but when I try to connect I get a message that the player failed to connect

The Blu-Ray has the wireless dongle installed. I know it's not an internet problem per se, since I have had no problem getting the Apple TV to work with all its functions including instant streaming of movies and TV shows. I have no problem w/ my ipod touch eoither. I have entered IP addresses, passwords, and every other thing I can think of until I'm Blu-Ray in the face.


Any help is appreciated!

Hey there. Had the same problem.

I bet your wireless network name has spaces or apostrophes or special characters in it. Mine did. The Samsung player can't deal with that -- I think it's a Mac thing that you can't do on a PC.

Change your wireless network name to something simple and keep it to one word with no punctuation, and it should work just fine.

I had called their tech support but they were kind of worthless, so I figured it out myself.
