Trying to get Netflix for my parents TV at their house, and I am confused about which wireless LAN adapter to buy for their Samsung BD player

Can it be any USB wireless LAN adapter, or is there specific ones only based on the player? I say this because I find ones at NCIX and Newegg for like 20 bucks:

But on futureshop website, when i click on tv & video, it only gives me a handful of usb wireless lan adapters, all over 120 bucks:

Is this just brand name difference, or should I really not bother buying the ones from NCIX/Newegg? Thanks

one difference i can tell so far is that the Belkin newegg is a G-band adapters, and at least the sony adapter from futureshop is an N-band adapter. The samsung band isn't specified. I bought an Asus router before from NCIX when it was on sale. It was never able to get hooked up, constant problems. And even having two additional computer experts attempt it, the asus router still wouldn't work. I wouldn't trust their adapter if i couldn't get their router up and running.

[edit]
i would assume though that any usb wireless adapter would work fine for it, it's just transferring of data right?

wireless N 300mbps *shrugs* about $50, still better than the $120 adapters from FS

thanks

the compatibility of the device you listed is not compatible with windows7.....i can`t see how that would matter tho because it`s just connecting with the router. I could get a laptop with vista or xp to set it up?
