I am planning the purchase of the Samsung LN46B750 and would like to wirelessly connect the TV to the Internet, via one of the available USB ports. I already own a Linksys USB Wireless adaptor, WUSB600N, and would like to know if it will work with this TV, or must I purchase the Samsung adaptor, WIS09ABGN?

As I understand it, if you want to go wireless with the Samsung LN46B750, you will need to use the Samsung Link Stick adapter. Third party USB adapters generally require software installation into the connected device (In this case the television itself) in order to function properly. Because you cannot install the software onto the TV, the third party USB adapter will not be compatible. I’m sorry I don’t have better news for you there.
If you’d like to use a third party device, or if you just have a personal affinity for Linksys products, you could use the Linksys WET610N dual band wireless bridge. Because this unit uses the Ethernet port (not the USB) and provides its own power source, it can be used in lieu of the Samsung proprietary “Link Stick”.
I hope that helps.
