What's great about it: looks good
What's not so great: it ends there
slow loading, drops internet and doesn't stream netfix very well
but most of all the audio output settings for hdmi on the menu is auto or PCM it does not default to bitstream everything is PCM through an hdmi cable I talked to sony tech support and went through every possible audio menu setting and they said they dont know why it does that!! other tech suggested i just use digital optical that would fix the problem...you've got to be kidding!
Not the top of the line in my book
This product has... Slow load time
About me... Avid movie watcher, Love to stream movies
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: on screen menue
What's not so great: smart hub ,internet connection

Will Sony BDPS790 3D Blu Ray player work with Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 Model R7000-NAS Dual Band Wireless Router?

I saw an earlier answer from Sony that the BDPS790 only supports 2.4 Ghz,but not 5 Ghz in a wireless router. Does that mean the streaming feature on the blu ray player won't work with my router? The router supports 2.4 Ghz (802.11/b/g/n) and 5 Ghz (802.11 a/n/ac). If there will be a problem, is there something I can do to get it to work? Or, is there another Blu-ray player with built-in wi-fi that will support the dual band that's not over $350.00? (2 built in apps most interested in are Netflix and Amazon Instant Video-Amazon has tons of Sony & Panasonic listed as compatible-only a few Samsungs) Thanks in advance for any help someone can give me on this!
if your router supports both 2.4 and 5 Ghz it will work
