Wireless network bridge

I am trying to hook up Netflix in a bedroom with a Blu-ray player that does not have a wireless adapter. Does anyone have a good suggestion on a reasonably priced network bridge?

why not just buy a chromecast?
eta you'll spend at least $35 trying to get some type of network bridge and endless fooling around with it. chromecast is far more elegant and you get alot more than just netflix

Find a cheap router that you can load tomato on. I did this with a couple of Belkin N300's. I also just purchased an EnGenius bridge that Newegg had on deal for $30, but I haven't hooked it up yet.

Not to mention Chromecast is one third the price of that.

I got one of these LINK free from Newegg when I bought an Asus N66U recently. It's listed at $30 right now on Newegg. Might be able to get it free with another purchase or $20 or so elsewhere.
It's a simple wireless bridge, no more. 4 100Mbps switch ports to connect to TVs, Gaming consoles, etc.
I used the free one I got to put in my son's room for his TV and PS3. Works fine so far. Setup was easy for me, but I do know what I'm doing. Normal setup shouldn't be an issue for anyone else. Just follow the steps.
