I had the same problem when I moved our Samsung Blu-Ray from the living room (where I have a network jack) to the bedroom (where I don't). So I had to shell out $80 for the Samsung USB Wifi adapter which is the only one that will work with it. I didn't feel like running a cable under the house.
You really don't have a choice if you go Wifi since only the adapter from Panasonic will work on a Panasonic device.
HOWEVER it sounds like you do have a network jack in there, and if you do, I would highly recommend using it over Wifi. What's a couple more wires behind a TV? Hardwired is always more reliable than Wifi.

did just order the wifi adapter found one for $50 at cowboom.com its part of bestbuy i think .it was 1/2 the price of most places so i order one .still may hard wire and just keep the unit as a back up if i relocate the tv. sure wish they (tv manufactures )would agree on a simple signal so we be able to use a univeral unit .

No experience with the adapter, but I will say that I have an inborn grudge against Wi-Fi. I'd rather spend a few hours running a new wire if necessary than dealing with Wi-Fi possible Wi-Fi interference issues (of course, I live in a very tight subdivision with lots of wireless going on). Not to mention, that time cost less than the adapter.

love the panasonic information that came with the unit also there web site. totally useless as to how to setup using the unit. i feel for the home owner who has little or no understanding of networking . you have to go though your setup menu on your blueray or some tv that have a usb port. i bet a lot of these units are sold by commision or brownie point sales people to the general public .as a sales add on and the home owner gets them home and never figures out how to use them.
