Is there any way I can take this $40 Blu-Ray player online without spending $50?

I got a Toshiba BDX2150 for $40 from Best-Buy as a Black Friday deal.

First of all, yes, I expected such a cheap Blu-Ray player to not have WiFi and yes, I realize that many of them purposely lock you into a propitiatory adapter.

To my complete non-surprise, when I got it, it requires a $50 propitiatory adapter, a Toshiba WLM-10NB1.

I know that the WLM-10NB1 is propitiatory so you can't just use any WiFi adapter, but considering the player itself was only $40.... has anyone made any unofficial 3rd party adapters that would be compatible with the WLM-10NB1? Or are there any good WiFi Ethernet Bridges that I can use instead that cost less than $50?

I refuse to play Toshiba's little game of overpriced propitiatory WiFi for what should be an industry standard.

It appears to have an Ethernet port. If at all possible, using a cable would probably be the easiest and cheapest option. If that isn't possible, then it would be worth a try to borrow a standard WiFi dongle and plug it into the USB port and see if you can get that to work.

Yeah, I know about the ethernet port, that's why I asked if I can get a decent WiFi Ethernet Bridge that would cost less than the adapter.

There's lots of reviews complaining about the USB WiFi adapter being propitiatory and the player not taking a standard wifi adapter, so I can't just plug any WiFi adapter into it.

What wireless networking equipment (routers, etc.) do you already have at your Location? How far away are they located from where the new Blu-Ray player will be lcoated?
