since I don't have a phone line this really does the job.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
This adapter allows a user of any TiVo box Series 2 or newer to connect wirelessly to a home LAN if an ethernet plug isn't convenient. Very easy setup. (Product description says Series 2 only, that's not the case, it's Series 2 or newer.) My box is now connected and working just as advertised.

Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
I have a number of wireless devices an have used wireless gaming adaptors, repeaters and so on. The Tivo wireless gizmo has been the easiest to setup and has never failed. My transmitter is on the 2nd floor with the Tivo on the first floor. It easily allows me to download/xfer hourly episodes, eg, from my PC while I watch an earlier episode and have the newer episode available by the end of watching the first one. That's all I really want from it. Still, if you can run a CAT5 to the Tivo, do it. But don't sweat it if that's an inconvenience - go wireless and you'll be fine.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
Expands the capabilities of TiVo beyond what you achieve through the phone jack. The add-ons aren't as great as you'd get from [...], but if you already have a TiVo it would be easily worth the 50 bucks [...].
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
This is an amazing product. It provides wireless connection between my two home TIVO locations and my LAPTOP! This allow me to share/move movies between all three platforms which makes it virtually impossible to miss any programming. I love it!!
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
Wireless device worked right out of the box - setup was super easy. Saved lots of time compared to running ethernet over to living room.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
This is great, I had a lot of trouble with other wireless adapters for my tivo but with this one, I just plugged it in and it worked right away!
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
- I added this to the second TiVo I purchased and it connects so effortlessly to my existing network.
- I have noticed that both of my TiVo's "drop" from my network and I can't share files between them or my pc without restarting the TiVo's.
- I have an 80 Hour and 40 Hour Series 2 TiVo's. One is the old black case and the other is the newwe style white Series 2 case.

This is a great adapter. I hooked it up rigth out of the box and now I have the best signal ever for my new Tivo.
Delivery was great. I received my package even earlier than I had expected.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
If you use a very long, secure WPA key, it's very difficult to enter. But that's a Tivo problem more than the adapter's problem
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
If you have a Tivo, and wireless internet in your home, this is a must have.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
TiVO continues to make setup of the products virtually effortless!
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
The only totally hassle-free way to connect your series 2 or series 3 TiVo to your wireless network. True plug and play. No installation issues, no problems.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
I was using the Belkin solution but it was a wireless B. When I upgraded my router to wireless N (Apple Airport Extreme), the Belkin become obsolete. This Tivo wireless adapter worked like a charm replacing the Belkin.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
Tivo Wireless Adapter not only works very well and is simple to set up, but it is also very stylish and sturdy. My TiVo unit had no trouble picking up my wireless network and updating the settings. Also we have cats and none of them have been able to move it around or knock it down. [...]
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
It is only too bad that TiVo has made their systems so they can't use just anyone's type G card. Only had to get this because son got a PlayStation-3 that only supported WPA and not WEP. It says it supports WEP but it doesn't really!
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
Man, I wish I had bought this little gadget sooner. Initially, I connected my Tivo to the home network directly via ethernet cable to the router. However, a new living room configuration necessitated a wireless option. I first (and erroneously) thought that all it would take is a simple USB-based wireless adapter, such as what one could by from D-Link, or Belkin, or any of the other brands. Well, none of them were compatible with the Tivo. So I spent the extra [$] on the official Tivo adapter, and I'm really happy. Why? Because not only was it a seamless setup, the connection to the wireless network is actually *faster* than when it was wired. A 30-minute show used to take about 27 minutes to transfer to my laptop, but now it takes 15 minutes or less. Oh yeah - it looks cool, too. Highly recommend.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
This adapter gets great reception and "g" compatability. My bottom room at the back of my two-story house can hit the router that is located on the top floor at the front of my house. The other adapters that I have tried could not get through the walls at this distance. I am *very* happy with my purchase and [...] had the best overall price.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
Product is great! We get great reception with out a connected phone line. Installed in the bedroom with the wireless connection in another room. No problems thus far.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
Tried several other products which the TIVO unit would not recognize. TIVO adapter worked just like the tivo setup instructions said. Since the tivo unit was an earlier version it would only recognize wireless adapters that were not available. The TIVO adapter worked.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
I've tried other wireless adapters with the TiVo, but they all had trouble. This is the only one that works perfectly and lets you use all the features available.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
I am really happy with this product but I was a little confused by the design how this product would work. From the picture I assumed that you would plug the whole unit into the USB slot in the back of your tivo and then swivel the top half to adjust reception. In reality, you attach the unit to your tivo via a 3 foot long cord. I was hoping to eliminate yet another cord by going wireless so I am a little disappointed in the design. It works great though and took about 1 minute to set up.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
Product arrived fast and new in box. Tivo box immediately recognized the wireless adapter and connecting it to my NetGear router was a breeze.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
Absolutely loved this product. So easy to set up and works great. I currently have them hooked up to 2 Tivo's (one in living room & one in bedroom) and everything is set up nice. When I am upstairs I can watch a show on the downstairs Tivo & vice versa.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
Works great... easy to install... arrived promptly... no problems.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
Very good product. Easy to set up and solved the problem.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
This worked great from the moment I plugged it in. I was wanting to setup a wireless network between Tivo and my PC so I could copy recordings to DVD. This adapter works well for that purpose.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
I love this product! For a long time I've been putting in my phone line when the channel info for my tive ran out but with this device i don't have to worry; It does it all for me. Also it's not block the phone line either becuase it's working of the network. [...]
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
These wireless adapters are a breeze to set up and work very well. Had two set up in about 20 minutes, if that, and they worked perfectly from the start. Highly recommend them.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
This product came and performed as expected...unbelievable in today's world
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
My Tivo adapter works great. I used to use a Linksys adapter but downloads were slow. This Tivo "G" adapter works great. Fast downloads and easy to quickly view photos on my TV.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
I unplugged my old WEP USB 802.11b adapter from my Series2 TiVo, plugged this new one in, and it was automatically recognized and associated with the existing WEP profile. Couldn't have been easier; didn't have to reenter any configuration information, no connectivity problems, it just worked. Now when I'm ready to reconfigure my AP for WPA, my TiVo is too.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
Extremely easy to set up, very attractive (not only unobtrusive but sleek), receives signal where previous adapter did not. Ordered a second one for our daughter's TiVo.

great product, quick set-up.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
This product exceeded my expectations. Very easy to set up with included USB cable. The unit is very stable and sturdy. I'm glad I bought this unit and would recommend to anyone.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
I got a new Tivo Series 2 box. I tired several other network devices and it did not like them. I purchased this after looking around for a good price. Plugged it in and it worked 1st time and no problems at all.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
This product has worked very well for me. It was simple to set up with my Tivo boxes right out of the box. No problems so far. The only negative is that it looks so neat that my three year old loves to mess with it. Since it has to be placed out in the open to get the best signal possible it's hard to keep her away. Outside of that though, I love it.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
Tivo Wireless USB adapter very easy to install and setup. Was ready to go in a matter of minutes. Very small stylish design makes it nice to conceal the antennae in almost any situation. I definitely recommend this product.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
I plugged this wireless adapter into my Series 2 TIVO and started the standard setup. It worked right out of the box! My home network popped up on the TV screen and set itself up. Plus is looks nice sitting on my TV stand next to the cable box. The little TIVO icon on the front gives it a little pizazz.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
I held off adding Tivo to my network waiting for WPA security to be added. With this network adapter, I can now enjoy the advantages of having the tivo's on the network without sacrificing security. Works like a charm.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
This product was so easy to use. I plugged it in and it was ready to use. Now there is no need to keep my tivo hooked up to a phone line. Had I known it was so simple I would have bought a wireless adapter a lot sooner.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
I used this product in a far end of the house away from the base station. It took many tries to get the signal, but finally worked. Some other units don't work at all there and others work fine, so this unit is about in the middle as far as reception. It also had no problems with 128 bit WEP encryption. I think this had been a problem, but is now resolved. (This is the encryption with 26 character, 0-9, A-F).I am using it with a new (as of 12/06) dual tuner TIVO. I would really recommend it for this usage as the setup is so easy.[...]
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
Finally, a TiVo-compatible 802.11g adapter that supports real wireless security standards! Before, I had to set up a second wireless network using WEP security, since old adapters did not support WPA in use on my primary wireless network. New WPA support on this adapter now allows me to lock down my networks much more effectively. Setup on TiVo was a no-brainer.
Also, the speedup to 802.11g now makes it possible for me to watch a program recorded on another TiVo without having to wait for it to transfer (transfer speed over 802.11b was not fast enough to keep up with playback).
Well worth the money, especially if you are adding your TiVo(s) to an existing 802.11g WPA network.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
Set up under 10 minutes, and 100% uptime for 3 weeks without a reboot/reset. I bought 2 of these units, to replace the USB-to-Ethernet adapter and Wireless bridge on each of my 2 TIVOs. Since then, better speed, NO loss of connection, and faster transfer times for programs. I wouldn't go back...
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
Plugged it in and almost set itself up.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
Easy to set up with my Tivo. Great signal- no disruptions of service. Just plug and go!
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
I tried a D-Link DWL-122 earlier to connect my TIVO to my home network because it is cheaper than this TIVO brand-named one but that kept losing connection and after a while stopped working altogether. I have nothing against this D-Link one because I think the problem is due to the pickyness of the TIVO box.
Anyway, this one works and abtelectronics had it for a lower price than TIVO.
Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
Now that TiVo supports WPA and WPA2 wireless security (TiVo version 8.1 or higher), It finally made sense for me to connect TiVo wirelessly to my network. I have been using this for some time now and it has been working great.
The device is well designed and surprisingly well weighted (no worries about falling over or anything.)
If you are tired of connecting through your phone line or your phone jack is far from your TiVo this is a great choice. (Please note that you must have a wireless router for this to work)
Once you connect your TiVo to your network then you will see a lot more functionality like remote scheduling, Yahoo Weather, Yahoo Traffic, TiVo to Go transfers and more.

Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
I had to purchase this device because my house is set up with a wireless network. I hated to have to buy another device to make my Tivo work, but the device was a no brainer to set up and it almost instantly grabbed the signal and went to work.

Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
Even though it's more expensive than other options, the fact that it was a snap to install and that it was guaranteed to work with my Tivo made it worth the extra money.

Comments about TiVo Tivo Wireless Adapter:
My DLINK Wireless B adapters were having trouble staying connected. In the hope that a G network would be more reliable, I bought a pair of these (all continuing to connect to a LinkSys WRTGS54 router) and--sure enough--no more "No adapter found errors"! Transfers are faster, too. The adapters also look nice sitting on my two televisions. They are well made and they work.
