UWA-BR100 faulty, unable to buy replacement from Sony
So I have a Sony Smart TV (KDL-40EX524) which needs an external wifi dongle to use the Smart functions. My wifi dongle (UWA-BR100) is no longer working, after numerour 'unhelpful' calls with different sony departments I find that they no longer make this dongle, there parts partner EuroParts also cannot source it and there seems to be no alternative part.
So is Sony saying that I can now no longer make use of my Smart TV finctionality which I paid for, as they no longer support a wifi product???
Is this is true it is disgraceful - I have only had the TV 3yrs!!!!
Any advice out there please?
Thank you

Welcome to the Sony User Community Forum..
Searching the net there are still some available from online retailers but an alternative & possibly cheaper solution could be to use a set of home plugs..

They are on Amazon but at £150! May aswell look to buy a new tv so I do not
face this issue again, I just think it's very very poor consumer care from
Sony

As a worst case scenario have you thought about using
Chromecast or an alternative such as Roku streaming stick?
(There are other alternatives to these two examples.)
Not ideal but still a way to get your TV online

Hi cavegirl13,
don't know why you talk about broadband.. those device just bring you the network signal over the electrical wire of your home from the electrical plug nearest to the router to the nearest electrical plug to your TV: than you just connect your TV to the device via a standard CAT5 LAN cable (your TV should have an ethernet port if I'm not wrong), no wifi needed at all. It's like having a long LAN cable stright from your router to the TV....
