I’m new to WD media players. Although not sure and unless someone disagree otherwise, I came to know that WD TV players provides various video formats than anyone else out there in the market.
I just looked at the site and I couldn’t find the specs mentioning ethernet speed, wifi (a,g,n) etc… Where would I find complete technical specs of WD TV media players?

Thanks
The new WD Streaming Media Player has WiFi built in and that is 2.4 GHz. However, with the Live, Live Plus, and Hub you have to buy your own wireless adapter (from a WD approved list of adapters). If you buy an adapter that supports 5 GHz, the WD box does support it. I am using a Cisco/Linksys WUSB600N wireless adapter with my Live Plus and I have been using it exclusively on the 5 GHz band (in order to take advantage of the special video streaming options that my wireless router supports).
Unfortunately the specs on the site are not technical specs with details. I find that very unprofessional.
Anyhow, it’s strange to find Live has Wi-fi inbuilt but Live Plus doesn’t have it at all. I would expect a new device will have new things like inbuilt 2.5/5GHz and 1000Mbps support.
Does anyone know how often do they release new LIVE products?
Oh. There is not mention of 100Mbps either in the Specs. It looks like the hardware chip does support 1Gb. Maybe WD hasn’t enabled it for some reason. Not sure if they will enable 1Gb ever on this product…
