TiVo AG0100 Wireless G USB Network Adapter for TiVo Series2 & Series3 DVRs

The products definitely does the job, but the best signal strength that I get is 72%, not exactly what I had hoped for. But it's much better than the alternatives out there.

This thing is just flat "Plug & Play". Not one problem with installation or operation.

It works like a charm. Well, it won't work over the more secure WPA encryption, but it works great with standard encryption.

My complaint: It's clunky. On a computer desktop, it's alright to have something that needs to sit on the desk and connect to the PC with a USB cord. My TiVo, however sits stacked between my DVD player and my XBox. The USB WiFi adapter is forced to perch precariously on the back of the shelf. It'd be better if it was designed to just fit right into the USB port, like the one I bought for my girlfriend's computer (which cost $10 less).

The TiVo is supposed to work with other brands of wireless network adapters, but I figured the safe choice was to buy the TiVo brand. Overall, I'm not disappointed.

The modem had died on my series 2 TiVo and I was looking for a reasonable repair. When I found the possibility of a wireless adapter, I went for it. It works great right out of the box. I am convinced this is a great way to deal with a dead modem on a TiVo and at a very reasonable cost compared to trying to repair the modem which would have entailed sending it by mail and waiting and then hoping that the fix would work. The wireless adapter was the painless cheaper quick way to a good fix!

Worked great, right out of the box. Just plugged network adapter into Tivo using included USB cord. I would recommend not putting it in a cabinet. (I tried a few arrangements, but once put it on top of my entertainment center, immediately got better reception.) Go through Guided Setup, select your wireless network from the list of networks in range, input password if needed, and that's it!

Of course, you have to set up a wireless network before the Tivo can connect. Had a little trouble with my Linksys wireless router... it must be in "accepting new clients" mode in order for the network to show up on the Tivo during Guided Setup.

So if Tivo isn't recognizing your network, try moving the adapter for better reception. If that doesn't work, check your router's guide, as it may have to be in a certain mode for initial setup of a new addition to the network, like mine. But don't worry, once it's set up, you won't need to mess with it again. I've had mine set up for over a month, and Tivo has had no issues connecting to my network.
