Answer
ToTo raises an excellent point that I didn't even consider - sharing your Internet connection from your laptop with your BR player. It may be what you need.

You could get your BR player on your network by either using an Ethernet WIFI adapter or by using an Powerline Ethernet adapter/bridge.

With Powerline Ethernet you usually get two adapters. One adapter plugs into an A/C outlet near your player, and you connect the player's ethernet to the adapter. The other plugs into an A/C outlet near your WIFI router, and you plug another Ethernet cable into the second adapter from your router. Then the magic should happen - your BR player should appear on your network. I've used such adapters and they've performed well for me. I think they work well and are cheaper and easier to setup than WIFI adapters. but that's your other option.

Can an internet dvd player have spyware installed after market?

I purchased an open box dvd bluray with wifi from ebay. I noticed that after winning the item most other dvd players with wifi were open box too from the same vendor. Iwas wondering if passwords used on the system ie netflix etc could be compromised?


Answer
Not likely. The reason they are open box is because the seller probably bought them at an auction because most stores don't sell open box items.
