The Blu-ray player connected to the 'external' television recognizes the home network yet is unable to connect to it. We've tried a number of ways to get it to reconnect, to no avail. Can anyone recommend a tech expert who can help us get this working again. Please post contact information publicly, for the benefit of other Villagers who may be having the same issue. Many thanks!

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all!
When you say the Blu-ray recognizes the network I am assuming you have entered the correct network password, so, was there a setting change on the home network that disabled either the 2.4 or 5.0 ghz and that is the one the blu-ray is looking for? Have you tried unplugging and completely rebooting the home network and the blu-ray?
That's it for the moment.
