UPDATE: The image I attached to my original post, which was a screen capture of the page in the manual showing the configuration for wireless didn't appear to come in correctly. But if you look in the manual and go to "Step 4 - When connecting via a wireless LAN router", under Hookups and Settings, you'll see the detailed image there (page 25).

ORIGINAL POST

While true it doesn't have built-in WiFi, you can still connect but you have to buy an Ethernet/wireless LAN media converter. You connect that to the ethernet port on your DVD player and it talks to your wireless router:

Here's just one of many links (be sure to read all the way to the bottom where he provides updated info on easy solution) :

I suggest you google "Ethernet/wireless LAN media converter" or just go to some place like Best Buy and explain the situation and they can point you to the right equipment.
