Default Equivalent wi-fi dongle for Panasonic Blu-Ray

Hi, please can someone confirm an equivalent USB wi-fi dongle for a
Panasonic DMP-BDT110, rather than the expensive own brand?

TIA

Vigman

PS I see that there are no equivalents for the Sony Blu-rays 8(((

I've seen it suggested that dongles for the Panasonic are made by
Netgear.

This might suit,

What about a wireless bridge?
Lots on ebay, around £20.
Try this as an example: 180764950030 (Ebay item number).
If you have a "spare" USB socket to power it, otherwise use a cheap USB
power supply like: 270793144800.
No recommendation about these particular ones.

Digressing.
My Sony 32EX503 works great on Ethernet input for on-line video - but
trying to use the remote as a keyboard is rubbish (eg on YouTube).
Much better is keeping an old laptop next to the TV and connecting it
to the TV via a VGA cable and stereo audio cable (a laptop with HDMI
would be better). There are many el-cheapo wireless
keyboards/trackball mouse available to control the laptop PC from the
sofa.
This solution is not quite perfect for me. The TV will not accept Dual
screen output from my old Dell laptop. (hi def video to BOTH laptop
and TV simultaneously). It's fine on extrenal video only (to TV).
Another caution with this - the Sony TV is senstive to the quality of
the VGA cable between laptop and TV. A short Dell Laptop to PC monitor
cable is fine; a cheap, eBay VGA+ stereo audio cable is touchy.

Anyway, back a bit nearer the OP's issue.
Are there WiFi dongles with an ethernet output (probably needing an
external power supply)?
This would get round the overpriced Sony/Panasonic TV specified WiFi
dongles. Or does any company make Sony compatible WiFi dongles?

Prompted by your post I've just tried connecting a USB keyboard to my Sony
Bravia, but no luck, unsupported :-(

My Humax Fox HD-T2 works fine with an 'Addon NWU280' dongle as opposed to
the Humax specified one.

This 15 quid Netgear dongle from Amazon is supposed to be Panasonic TV
friendly:-

Search on the Netgear Universal WiFi Adapter model WNCE 2001.
I have just ordered one from Amazon.

In other words, a wireless ethernet bridge, though this does look like a
particularly neat one. It will need power of course. They don't show that.
