Samsung BD-E5500 Blu Ray Player on Kalahari

[Knightwisp]

Hello

I see his item on kalahari http://www.kalahari.com/Technology/Samsung-BD-E5500-Blu-Ray-Player_p_47553937

In the description it says, "Smart 3D Blu-ray player SMART Hub, WiFi Built-in (Direct), Allshare, USB movie, Anynet+, Quick Start,Triple Protector"

When I checked other sites, it's says this model has requires a separate dongle to use WiFi but the description here says the WiFi is built in. Does anyone know if it does in fact have WiFi built-in? If it does for R1039 then that's sounds like a good deal. If not I'd rather go for the cheaper http://www.kalahari.com/Technology/Samsung-BD-F5500-HD-3D-Blu-ray-DVD-Player_p_47764037

Why not just visit the official Samsung site?

It says it is wireless LAN ready: http://www.samsung.com/levant/consumer/tv-audio-video/blu-ray/blu-ray/BD-E5500/SJ-spec

I did visit that site. I read that but it's sound like it's contradicting Kalahari's description.

e5500 going for R1000 at Govan Mani ( Gateway )

The dongle costs R800 which is insane, a better solution is a Powerline 500Mbps AV Ethernet Adapter, same price but its wired connection which apparently is better than the wireless of the dongle.
