Blu-Ray player with built in WiFi and Netflix browsing?

I am looking for a Blu ray player that has built in WiFi and ability to browse netflix categories/add movies to my queue through the Blu ray player.

I recently bought (and since returned) the Samsung BD-C6500. Besides the Netflix browsing wish above, the other thing I disliked was the WiFi connection itself. It took a long time to load a Netflix movie. Then during playback, I wanted to skip back a couple of scenes and it also seemed to take forever.

Also at one point playback stalled and seemed to be buffering, took almost a full minute before the movie began to play again. I don't think this is an issue with my WiFi connection, as I have been streaming Netflix over our Wii with no issues - able to rewind/forward quickly, and I have never had a movie pause and buffer.

Any suggestions for a player that will suit my needs?

Have you used other netflix devices? Much of what you talk about seem ordinary for Netflix. It is streaming after all....

You have not mentioned your wifi speed, or broadband speed. Those are the first places to look for such issues.
