    Not necessarily - being understood easily is probably the most useful skill... :T

    I have a DLNA working perfectly well with my Samsung B651. Originally, I had it connected by ethernet via a wireless bridge device to my wireless router, then I bought one of these and it's working happily over wifi.

    Have you a specific question?

    Only if you want to connect wirelessly. You can connect by using an ethernet cable too, either to a router or directly to your PC if close enough, or using a pair of ethernet homeplug adapters.

    The dongle I linked to is wireless G (up to 54M) which is good enough for most things short of HD quality. If you want to stream HD material wirelessly, you need the newer wireless n version which is about £65.

    What is it you want to use DNLA for?
