Thank you for contacting Samsung. We apologize for the inconvenience you've been experiencing. Please try to reset Smart Hub on your device: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/supportOwnersHowToGuidePopup.do?howto_guide_seq=6409&prd_ia_cd=N0000071&map_seq=40230
Reset your wireless access point. Additionally, it is best for the player not to be in an enclosed cabinet/furniture, remember that the wireless signal will be degraded, every wall, door. furniture that the signal has to travel thru will significantly reduce your reception.

Firstly, double-check that your WIFI router is on. Using a computer connected via the same wireless router, confirm that you can access the Internet, if not, the issue with your router (usually just restarting it should do the trick).
Make sure your BD-E5700 is within range of your wireless router. Usually devices within 30 feet of a WIFI router should have a good connection unless there are walls between the device(s) and the router.
If you have security set up on your wireless router, then you will have set this in your BD-E5700 settings.

I've had the same problem with my blue ray player. I honestly think it's just a poorly designed / implemented wireless adapter within the player. It connects long enough to do the updates - then reset's itself and you can no longer connect wirelessly to ANYTHING. I ended up buying a different manufacturers blue ray, put it in the EXACT same case, connecting to the EXACT same wireless router and it hasn't dropped the connection ONCE.
When ever I try to connect to smart hub...it'sstarting, downloading and installing..
most times it takes for ever to connect to smart hub... is this issue with my blueray player or with smart hub..
I am facing this issue since one week.
Thanks Venu

Very sorry to hear about your continuing problem. I understand our servers have been having issues, and further I understand the issues should be fixed shortly. For most users, the hard reset and power cycling is fixing the issue temporarily, and I understand that the reset will be the permanent fix. You'll find directions for how to generally reset a Samsung device here: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/supportOwnersHowToGuidePopup.do?howto_guide_seq=5402&prd_ia_cd=N0000071&map_seq=35276&rel_cont=Y
Restart your router, and your blue-ray player, depending on the router you have it this could be an issue due to the data throughput, not all the routes suffer from this, if this does not correct the issue you may need to open a support call, try upgrading the firmware to the latest version too.
If you have any additional questions, we suggest your refer to your product manual or the product support page on our website, where you'll find a comprehensive troubleshooting guide, FAQs and How-Tos, as well as manual, software & firmware downloads.

Smart Hub Question
Everytime I go to Smart Hub, it takes me to a screen to update SmartHub and it just stays there, saying, "Installing forever. My internet connection is working fine. I can't seem to play anything in smart hub mode because it keeps attempting to install the update which has taken hours.

You should do a complete system reset, not just a Smart Hub reset. Here are the instructions for that: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/supportOwnersHowToGuidePopup.do?howto_guide_seq=5402&prd_ia_cd=N0000071&map_seq=35276&rel_cont=Y
Unfortunately, our server has been timing out, but I understand the issue should be fixed shortly. If you continue to have this problem, call 1-800-SAMSUNG, or if you want to come through a social media channel, we have a couple options for your.

If you have Facebook, go here to this URL: http://www.facebook.com/SamsungSupport Click on the "Support Form" button on the left hand side.
Serial numbers shouldn't be found on any list. They are unique to your individual device. Look on the back of the player. Right side. There you should find a sticker containing manufacturing information. About halfway down you will see S/N and then a string of numbers and letters. That is your serial number for your player.

Programs using too much memory causing delay because too many open programs on internet media device like Blu-Ray. This delays buffer zone via slow internet speed, media connection quality from router (wireless-ethernet) connection for buffer zone or too many media devices operating causing GM(bps) bandwith download problem!

Thank you for contacting Samsung. We recommend for your device that you use the compatible application to stream videos. So in this case you can download and use the YouTube application to watch your videos.
If you have any further questions, please contact us at qasupport@sea.samsung.com and let us know how we can assist you further. Thank you for being a Samsung customer!
Why does this product do an 'install' every time I attempt to use Netflix or even go to "The HUB"?
Whenever I try to connect to Netflix or 'The HUB' the DVD player spends 15 to 20 minutes with an 'installing' notice. It is very very annoying. I checked to see if there were any downloads needed and it replied 'no'. Considering this is one feature that influenced my decision to buy this product I am very dissatisfied with it's performance to date.

Thank you for contacting Samsung.
We're sorry to hear you're encountering this issue with your Samsung device.
We recommend you refer to this link in an effort to get this issue resolved.
You also mentioned that you'd checked to see if the player needed any downloads and it indicated it did not. We show that a firmware update was released for this player on 3/27/2012. Prior to this issue occurring, do you remember running a firmware update on this player within the last 2 months? If not and you opt for a full player reset, we recommend you check for firmware updates (if not prompted) before re-installing any third-party apps beyond those that come installed as part of the factory software build.
You might also try deleting and re-installing the two problem apps, as issues with apps are often resolved when reset to their factory settings.
For further guidance, we suggest you refer to the product page on our website, where you'll find a comprehensive troubleshooting guide, FAQs and How-Tos and product support videos, as well as product manual, software and firmware downloads.
My blue-ray is giving me message that I dont have enough memory to download wnload an app that I already have downloaded.
My player is new and all of the sudden when I click on an app that I have already downloaded, for instance, vudu, it says that I don't have enough memory to down load this app. Also, my password is always showing incorrect, I go change in on computer at website and it still shows incorrect password on player.

This is a new unit. Regular DVD plays, but Blue Ray DVD does not. First two segments times show on unit display, but no picture or audio shows on TV. Eventually just shows dashes on Samsung display. Could the DVD itself be bad? I have no other Blue Ray DVDs to try or another player to try the DVD on.

Thank you for contacting Samsung.
Even though this may be a new unit to you, there was a firmware update for this device issued on 6/8/2012. If you have configured your player to connect to your wired or wireless network and have not already been prompted to update the firmware and done so, please follow these directions to get this process started.
1. With your remote, highlight By Internet, and then press the button located between the up, down, left & right buttons. The "Connecting to Server" message appears. 2. If there is a download available, the Download pop-up appears with a progress bar and the download starts. 3. When the download is complete, the Upgrade Query window appears with three choices: Upgrade Now, Upgrade Later or Don't Upgrade. 4. If you select Upgrade Now, the player upgrades the software, turns off and then turns on automatically. 5. If you do not make a selection in one minute or select Upgrade Later, the player stores the new upgrade software. You can upgrade the software later using the By Downloaded function. 6. If you select Don't Upgrade, the player cancels the upgrade.
If you've already got the latest firmware or the issue persists, we recommend you perform a hard reset. Please following the directions below.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience. Please update your firmware. You may do so over the network, or you can download it from this site, following the instructions: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/BD-E5700

BD-E5700 I can connect with wire... but not wireless
Everytime I try to connect with WI-FI (the main reason I acquired this device), the system comes back with "unable to connect to router....". I tested with a wired connection, and it connects to Internet just great. I also tested the WI-FI signal with my portable laptop at the same location as the BD device... and it works fine. What could be the problem #I've tried everything the manual or the system tells you to do#?

Thank you for contacting Samsung. You could try to reduce the distance between the Blu-ray player and the wireless access point in order to do determine if there's an actual problem with Blu-ray player.
