LinkStick.yes, but it works.

Well the product works with my 2010 Samsung Series 6-630 TV. Plugged it in and set it up for wifi. No problem. However, after researching my TV's capabilities before purchasing, I concluded that the TV would connect (via a network connection) and allow online access to places like Blockbuster, Netflix, etc. Guess I have didn't do enough homework because the TV can't access what I wanted to access. It should have something called "Internet@tv" built in, and apparently that's not mine. There is also no firmware update. Sigh. My fault for not digging deeper and confirming before I spent. No big deal, I can still buy a Samsung BD player with wireless capability and use the LinkStick I already bought. I spoke to a Samsung rep and asked what good the WiFi is if you can't use it the way I want it. His answer was to update firmware and connect to computers. Hmmm. Spring.

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
