What do i need to connect my blue ray player in the bedroom to my downstairs router please,no phone socket upstairs and player has just an lan cable connection in the back and usb port.
Do i just need to get another router?

Why do you want to? Genuine question.

Wireless access point would do the job.

 

[Rojer]

I would go for the powerline adaptors as that's the quickest and easiest way.

also wifi doesn't really get in to lan ports very well

Do you have a smart tv?

Do you have a smart tv?

Not upstairs mate,thats why im using the blue ray player that we have in the bedroom to connect to the internet

Check in the blu ray player settings first as it may connect over Wi-Fi. Otherwise powerline adapters should do the trick as mentioned.

Not sure if your normal tv would have usb ports, but could get something like a Chromecast. Not sure if you can cast netflix from phone. Haven't done any research on it.

yep assuming the blu ray player isn't a smart one, tbh all you'll need is a spare HDMI port on the tele and decent Wi-Fi coverage and you can use a chromecast/firestick for your Netflix access

 

[MrBlonde]

Tv does have HD port and blue is kind of smart as has options to use netflick,facebook and bits

What make and model is the Blu-ray player?

Firestick is a good call @Cup172rich

Have a look on the back and it’ll have a label with the model number on it. Chances are the Blu-ray player will have WiFi built in and you won’t need to buy a fire stick.

I've got an Apple TV2 (like a Chromecast/fire stick) I don't use if you want ..

Just checked the spec on that link you sent and it says it doesn’t have wireless lan so sadly not.

Firestick will sort you out instead
