5 of 5 Just what I needed! Friday, October 24, 2008
coverpass1 from Arlington, VA  
I was looking for a wireless adaptor for my TIVO unit and was thrilled when I spotted this one. Earlier I had ordered one from another vendor and the technical specs were not detailed enough for me to know that it would only work with a PC. I connected this adaptor to the TIVO and it has worked brilliantly from day one.

5 of 5 TiVo Wireless Adapter Easy to Use Tuesday, September 23, 2008
A Customer from Webster, NY  
Extremely easy setup, mostly due to TiVo DVR Software. Appears to be very strong Adapter picking up networks that I did not even know were available in my neighborhood and did not appear listed using another Wireless Adapter that I had. I have a Netgear Router and was told by TiVo support that this would not work; but it was not a problem at all. Wish I had done this long ago. Much better than using a phone line to do updates and downloads for TiVo.

Had it hooked up and working within 10 mins. Replaced the phone line I was using which would take several attempts to download information. This device allows me to do it within minutes. No need to monitor it. Great product!

5 of 5 Works great with Toshiba SD-H400 Sunday, August 17, 2008
Greg Peterson from Detroit, MI (the best city you've never been to!)  
This TiVo wireless adapter replaced a Linksys adapter that was only wireless B. I am using it with the Toshiba SD-H400 unit that combines a DVD player with a Tivo unit. The Tivo unit is running Tivo Basic software (which is free for the lifetime of the unit), software version 9.3. This adapter connects my Tivo to my home wireless network using WPA-PSK TKIP security, with a dynamically assigned IP address. This fixed the WEP-only security "hole" that existed with the Linksys adapter, which was my main reason for the switch. An added side benefit is that program guide information now of course downloads to the Tivo much faster.

5 of 5 great Friday, August 15, 2008
nick from new york, ny  
Worked right out of the box, adds a lot of functionality to TiVo. Though its a pain TiVo requires you to use their wireless adapter and cant use a cheaper alternative. You'd think it would be built in with newer Tivos but its not either. Anyway, great purchase to really take full advantage of your Tivo.

5 of 5 Why Did I Wait so Long! Wednesday, June 11, 2008
A Customer from Dallas, TX  
I ordered this TiVo wireless adapter, to replace a broken Linksys adapter that was only wireless B. I had tried a Linksys Wireless G adapter years ago, but it didn't work. I decided to try the TiVo adapter, since it was on sale on Buy.com. It was a great find! Worked out of the box on my new HD TiVo. I decided to try it on my old Toshiba TiVo, and it worked on that as well. Getting the wireless G made a HUGE difference. Going from 11 meg to 54 meg was a MUCH bigger improvement that I had ever expected. It allowed me to watch movies as soon as I started a transfer. Before, I had to wait for an hour to start watching a movie. I will say that I'm not sure I would pay full price if all I was doing was downloading the channel guide, so think about what you need the adapter for. I use it to transfer content between TiVo's so it makes a huge difference for me.

5 of 5 Upgrade to this, its great Monday, May 19, 2008
A Customer from Rancho Mirage, CA  
I used to have a Linksys WUSB12 for downloading video to Tivo TOGO on my desktop for transfer to my portable video player, the download speed was SO SLOW it will sometime take 12 hrs to download 4hrs of video, and often will crash the TivoToGo app. I have just installed this Tivo made unit, i downloaded 6hrs of video in less then 3hrs!!!! If you are one of the early users of Tivo to go with the old Linksys USB wireless adapter, get this one....it incredible!

5 of 5 Best security Monday, May 12, 2008
Merlin from IL  
It works well. Pretty easy to use though if you know NOTHING about networking you might get a bit confused (which would happen with any other adaptor also) But the important thing is this is the ONLY wireless adaptor for the TIVO which supports WPA security. From what I understand with any other adaptor the best you can do is WEP which is not very safe in today's environment. This one costs a bit more than others that will work but if you are concerned about security (and who isn't?), this is the one for you.

5 of 5 Works Great! Wednesday, April 09, 2008
Jamie from Fort Bragg, CA  
Worked as soon as I plugged it in the back of TiVo. Recognized by the TiVo Box and Toast's TiVo Transfer right away. The configuration on the TiVo screens to integrate this with my new wireless home network went easily and flawlessly. If you want to burn your favorite shows to disk...this is a great product to help get you there. (You will also need software for your computer, available for both Macs and PCs...as well as a disk burner.)

5 of 5 Works out of the box Tuesday, March 25, 2008
Adam from CT  
Using this adapter couldn't get any easier. Simply plug it in! I have two of these - one on an older Toshiba Series 2 TiVo/DVD player combo, and one on a Series3 HD. After plugging in, go to connection settings, choose your network, enter your network key (if your network is encrypted) and that's it. Just wish it was included with all the TiVos or at least less expensive.

5 of 5 Love my Tivo Wireless Adaptor Tuesday, March 18, 2008
Rae from Fairfax, VA  
I purchased the Tivo wireless adaptor about 1 month or so ago and I just LOVE IT! I have been wanting one for quite awhile, but didn't want to pay the full price on the Tivo site. I purchased the adaptor and thought it would be a week or so before I received it, but it arrived in just a couple days. I hooked it up and it connected effortlessly. I haven't even used all its options yet, but I love the little extras it gives you (games, weather, etc.). I look forward to putting it to full use. I highly recommend this item.

5 of 5 The Right Tool For The Job Monday, February 04, 2008
B Customer from Helena, MT  
I had tried to find the other wireless adapters that are listed on TiVo's website as being compatible and was less than successful. I was able to find adapters that were close in their sku's and I tried three to no avail. I finally bit the bullet and paid a little more for the TiVo branded adapter and lo and behold it works PERFECTLY! There was no hassle in hooking it up and my TiVo recognized it instantly. The reception is GREAT as I found I was not only able to pick up my LAN but received the signals of others at great range (suburban/rural area). Definitely worth purchasing if you want to connect to your wireless network without any hassles.

5 of 5 good for it's purpose Friday, January 18, 2008
Scott from Philadelphia, PA  
Pros: Easy to set-up, works acceptably well. Cons: Less signal strength than my laptop resulting in slower down/uploads. I read a bunch of reviews prior to purchasing my TiVo and wireless network adapter. Some of them criticized the signal strength when using non-TiVo adapters that resolved with the TiVo brand one. So, I purchased this one since it doesn't cost much different than any others. I have now had it for 3 months and I can say that it works just fine. I have not had any problems. My signal strength is usually between 50-60%. Not that great, but considering I live in a duplex/twin house and my router is 2 stories above and on the opposite side of the house from my TiVo, I'm willing to accept it. I do notice, however, that my laptop never drops below "good" on signal strength. The only other thing I want to mention is that once the firmware is updated (I have a TiVo TCD649080 Series 2 box) it was fairly easy to set up the TiVo to access my wireless network including using WEP-PSK security.

5 of 5 ABSOLUTELY GREAT Tuesday, January 08, 2008
Mark from Rancho Palos Verdes, CA   
I have TWO of these, one for each TiVO DVR in my home. With this adapter both of my TiVO's can talk to each other, swap programs, download info from the Tivo service over my broadband connection, so the boxes do not have to "dial up" over the phone lines. I can't say enough about this wonderful adapter. ONLY DRAWBACK is the price, you can get wireless-G network adapters for less and they will do the exact same thing. However I thought it would be cool to the have the TiVO branded adapter sitting on top of the TiVO box. If price is an issue buy any generic wireless-G adapter, it will do the same thing.

5 of 5 Flawless Performance Wednesday, January 02, 2008
A Customer from Villa Park, IL  
There was almost no effort involved with setting up and using this little adapter. The TiVo called for a network password but really wanted the network encryption key (a problem with the TiVo, not the adapter) Works great! A little bit on the pricey side but there definitely will not be any compatibility issues with it.
