connecting LG home theater Blu Ray system to wireless network
looking for a bit of help. we have a wireless apple time capsule that also acts as our wifi base station. it is connected from our dsl modem. we have multiple laptops that connect to the network. i want to connect my blu ray home theater system (LG model LHB953) to the wireless network so i can stream my netflix and pandora radio. we have a dell wireless broadband router lying around (WRTA-108GD). can i use this? if so, what exactly do i need to do? i lack tech savvy but i can follow directions. if this will not work, what is going to be the easiest way for me to get this done? i am willing to spend $100 or so. thank you for the help!!

Easiest is to buy a device from Section 3 Above
Sorry for the late reply as we have been moving our data center. Using a router for this purpose requires you to use some third party open source (free) software (listed in Section 3 of our support page). We don't recommend that for people who are not very comfortable with software and hardware since it is unlikely that everything will go right the first time around.
For about $50, you can buy one of the devices listed in Section 3 (prices given there are only from Yahoo and you are likely to get much better price elsewhere). Configuring it should not be difficult - just remember to configure it in "Client" mode on a PC before connecting to the Blu-ray player.
Good luck.
