Blu-Ray Player wifi issue

[LLckfan]

I have a Magnavox MBP 5120 Blu-ray player that I am trying to get to hook up to my wifi everytime I try. Sometimes it will go though but most of the time I get DHCP cannot be acquired. I have moved the blu-ray player and it took four times to get it to connect without that error so I know where it is is not the issue. Connects just fine though the cable

Have you tried setting a static IP address manually as suggested in this  link?

[LLckfan]

Yes

If I set the internet type from automatic configuration-DHCP to Static IP it will connect no issue.

I had the Blu-ray connected to the wifi on March 8th (after trying 4 times) I was able to connect once after that but in the m9iddle of a movie got a network error. The router is a Linksys WRT120N. I have changed nothing except for what I said in the post about the Static IP and that was done after

Does it happen on both manual and static IP and DHCP/Auto? The only remaining suggestions are updating the router's firmware, move the access point where there is less interferences . Not sure if the Linksys router supports DD-WRT though...

The outer is maybe at the most ten feet away from the blu-ray player. I am not sure what you are aski9ng

Just to be clear on wifi issues is distance and interference or poor router signal broadcast. See last post previous suggestions also just in case.

The router is in the same room
