Samsung WIS12ABGNX LinkStick Wireless LAN Adapter

This product is awesome compared to having my 2010 model 46 inch Samsung 3D led 7000 series machine connected to the power line network via ethernet cable and a switch to the power line interface. This unit connects via the 5Ghz band on my dual band router and I can now stream video to the tv via my computer's and Netflix comes up super fast now on the internet part of the Tv. It can connect on the 2Ghz band if you do not have a 5Ghz dual band wireless N router but I am not sure how the streaming would be since it is slower in the old wireless G band than the wireless N band and since the adapter would connect either way, I knew to set it up on the 5ghz band since I had very good signal strength and knew that this connection would provide the fastest connection I could get. It is a lot faster than the bluray player in my bedroom that has wireless built in when connecting to Netflix. I should have bought this thing ages ago instead of hooking up to my very slow power line alternative internet connection. The power line network is for when the wireless signals are kind of marginal in the basement at times but yet I want to get on the internet. Most of the time it worked ok but would ocassionally have to buffer on Netflix. No buffering anymore on this wireless adapter. You can not beat the price or performance and it is a Samsung adapter as well and comes in a Samsung official box, wow what a bargain!!!

Excellent product I highly recommend. I had never connected the wireless capabilities of my Samsung TV (Plasma 50 inch 550C model) due to the old type wireless adapter Samsung said was required in the owners manual. That other adapter (WIS09ABGN) was/is very expensive compared to this one. I read some reviews online at Amazon that recommended this and said it was a replacement for the older adapter. I ordered it and two days later when it arrived I connected it. It took only a couple of minutes to set-up and worked perfectly with the TV and my network. I then used the adapter to update all the software on the TV. Once the software was updated I was able to connect to the Samsung link on my PC. I can now send DVD files, photos, videos and music to my TV. All of the media is on my PC but the wireless adapter allows me to connect to the PC using the Samsung link (it replaces Allshare). I can have a movie on my PC, place in the Samsung link folder and watch it on the TV. Really cool and the adapter works great. It has never had a problem and price was awesome. I am very glad I bought it. Hope this helps someone out. Thanks.

I purchased this item as a cheaper alternative to the Samsung WIS09ABGN Wireless LAN Adapter. I searched the internet for quite some time trying to find this item for a reasonable price and stumbled over a review that stated that this was a replacement for the WIS09ABGN adapter and would be compatible with my Samsung bd1250 Home Theater system. Keep in mind that the WIS09ABGN adapter sells on the Amazon marketplace for over $100. I found the WIS12ABGNX adapter on Amazon for less than $27 delivered. After speaking to Samsung customer support and being told that it WAS NOT compatible with my unit, I was concerned and disappointed but figured it was only 27 bucks and, if doesn't work, I can always unload it on eBay. The product arrived after about a week in excellent, like-new, condition in its original box with all of its original documentation. I plugged it in to the back of the unit and, much to my surprise, my bd-1250 was able to detect both mine and my neighbor's wireless network. I made a few attempts to connect to my network but they all failed. Keep in mind that I used the default settings and changed nothing. I noticed that signal strength was low so I used the supplied 6 inch usb-to-usb cable to move it closer to the front of my unit. That did the trick. I was able to connect to my home wireless network and am now enjoying Netflix movies in HD. I'm glad I ignored Samsung's advice that this WAS NOT compatible with my Home Theater - doing so saved me about $75. The WIS12ABGNX may not be a suitable replacement for the WIS09ABGN in ALL units but it works perfectly in mine.

Overall this product does what it says it does - connects my Samsung Smart TV to the WiFi in my home. However, it doesn't hold the connection as well as I'd like. I can watch Netflix and download Smart Apps, but occasionally it will completely disconnect from the internet and say "no networks detected". I considered the fact that this could be my own interenet setup at home, but I also have an Xbox 360 connected via WiFi directly below the TV that has never experienced problems. While the product works, it works great and I'm very happy. But the 10% of the time that it decides to drop connections it is very frustrating. That's why it only receives 3 stars.

I bought a Samsung Blue Ray Player a couple of years ago that was wireless ready. Little did I know that I had to purchase a $79.95 attachment to go wireless. Instead, I bought a Sony that was truly wireless and put it in the room the original was intended for and put the Samsung in the den. My wife decided to subscribe to Netflix streaming and that meant we could only watch on the big screen in one room. I decided to check on the dongle for the Samsung and found that it was improved and now only $34.95 so I ordered it. It was here in 2 days and works great. There was some difficulty in the set up when it offered 3 choices of what kind of security was on my wireless system without any definitions of them so I could input the password. The Sony just asked for the password and that was it.

I'm sorry to give this a bad review, I really want to give a good one but can't. My "wireless ready" blu-ray player required this unit to work, I wanted to use this to stream Netflix movies to my TV but it would never pass the internet service test. I updated the firmware on the player to the latest revision but it still wouldn't work. I sent the wireless unit back for a refund and I ended up running a cat5 cable back to my router. The unit still failed the internet service test. Frustrated, I tried Netflix anyway and lo and behold it worked for whatever reason. I didn't really try Netflix with the wireless dongle like I did with the cat5 cable, at the time I assumed that without it passing the internet service test it would obviously not connect. Regardless, with cat5 cable Pandora doesn't work because it says there is no internet connection (??!!??). I'm not sure that this setup is ready for prime-time. It's obviously a problem with the player, so perhaps I didn't give the wireless dongle a fair shake...but it was supposed to work with my unit. Whatever the problem, it was a frustrating experience as I'm an IT person and couldn't get it to work after about 4 hours of trying. For those of you with the Xbox 360, you might find that this is a better solution for streaming Netflix to your TV, as it literally took 10 minutes to get it working just fine. This is also the case for a Wii that I recently used to stream Netflix.

This LAN adapter was needed since I bought the older model flat panel TV which didn't come with. The item turned out to be everything expected from what was described. Buying a Samsung is the way to go! I have the Sony, LG and Panasonic TVs and players and they don't compare to the Samsung. 1)Samsung remote controls all are integrated with their products so, you only need one for everything. 2)The quality to their products are unmatched. 3)I like Samsung's slim design just like in this unit I purchased, it fits in its slotted space design to stay clear and flat against the back and out of site. Not like the LG and others that have them in the front or the side protruding or so obvious and pronounced to the eye. It works better than the rest too. I give it a 2 thumbs up!

I moved into a new home where I wanted to stream movies to my TV; one upstairs, one downstairs. My modem and wireless router is in my "office", which means the signal has to go through at least two walls for each location. I haven't had the best luck with wireless in the past, especially when going through walls, so I tried an ethernet over powerline solution. That didn't work so well. The TVs were constantly dropping the network. Tried other devices (such as a Sony Blue-Ray player) and those didn't any better. So it wasn't the TVs. The only other solutions were ethernet over coax, running ethernet cables through the walls, or going wireless. I figured ethernet over coax could have the same issues as ethernet over power lines, so I opted for wireless (bonus points, it was cheaper). The setup involved was as follows: 1) Plugged up the LAN adapters to the TVs. 2) Disabled the wireless access control list on my router. 3) Copied down the router security pass phrase. 4) Went into network settings on each TV and set them to use a wireless connection. 5) Entered the pass phrase. 6) Added the TVs to the list of permitted devices. 7) Re-enabled my device access list. Voila. Secure, functioning TV. No wires. No drilling. I was kind of surprised it worked as well as it did. I watched TV off and on all weekend, and I had zero issues. Netflix worked flawless. I will say from past experience that going wireless may not work for everyone. If you are in an apartment or condo with lots of wireless access points you may get interference from those devices. I cannot see any other networks from within my house. I am a Netgear N900 Dual-Band Gigabit router, for reference.

I purchased my Samsung tv in 2010 and waited to finally make it a smart tv, I had seen several newer versions of Samsung smart TV's with the smart tv already installed so when I saw this Wifi adapter on Amazon I thought why not purchase it now, it was an amazing price. came within 2 days delivered to my door it was an easy setup (kind of) but that has to do with my age (75) once set up it was terrific what it can do and the variety of things it does. I am very happy with this product and the excellent service from Amazon.ca

O produto é ótimo e funciona perfeitamente, o problema é realmente a TV Samsung que é muito ruim. Não tem o app do Netflix que é simplesmente o app de streaming do momento, nem o primeiro ou Disney+ que seriam os seguintes na fila do pão…enfim, não serviu ao que eu precisava mas não por culpa do roteador, mas por que a Samsung deixa a desejar, e muito.

Der WLAN Stick funktionierte bei meinem Samsung Smart TV UE50ES5700 sehr gut. Hat sich selbstständig eingerichtet. Wichtig war allerdings, daß vorher eine neue Firmware aufgespielt wurde, da der Fernseher bereits 6 Jahre alt ist. Die bekommt man auf der Samsung Internetseite, dort wir alles gut erklärt.

Excelente 👌

Si collega subito e ha un ottima ricezione. Posso vedere senza interruzione i film su Amazon Video. Ho qualche dubbio che sia un prodotto originale Samsung perché e arrivato in una bustina di plastica trasparente senza nessuna scritta ne manuale. Però la ricomprarei
