Has nothing to do with a PC...Follow

...but everything to do with a Blu-ray player.

So I bought my father a blu-ray player back before X-mas when they were on sale at Best Buy. I thought I had bought one that could Wirelessly connect to the internet. It can, but the wireless part isn't built in (like i thought it was, stupid small print ><).
So I know I need to buy a USB wireless adapter.

My question: Does it matter what brand the adapter is?
Itis a Sony brand player. I bought netflix last night, and I know my Father would get use out of it as well if he could access it via his player.

I ask because I bought a Wireless USB adapter for one of my computers, but don't know if I take it over would it work for him (I don't use that computer much anymore, so the adapter isn't being used).

Also, if it is an older wireless adapter, connection speed may be an issue, especially for streaming video (which I would assume to be a primary thing it would be used for on a BR player) You'll want to be sure it's at least wireless G, if not N, compatable.

It really depends on the player. For example, samsung TV's will only take a samsung wifi dongle. They lack built in drivers for anythign else.
