5.0 out of 5 stars TiVo connectivity made simple, December 3, 2003

By

This review is from: Cisco-Linksys USB100TX EtherFast 10/100 USB Network Adapter (Personal Computers)

I just received my USB100TX and connected it directly to my TiVo Series 2 with the supplied USB A-B cable. It does *not* come with a CAT-5 UTP Cable, but I have plenty spare and hooked it up. As soon as it was wired to both the TiVo and a hub in my nearby wiring closet the link light was activated. I did not need any of the manuals or driver disks that came in the package.

Within minutes I'd configured my TiVo to recognize the network adapter and my Linksys BEFSR41 Firewall/Router had allocated it a DHCP address.

I immediately ran the test-connection and also forced a daily update.

Downloading schedules are super quick compared to the dialup option. Obviously new firmware updates will also be significantly quicker. Plus the phone line won't be tied up during the call.

I had previously tried a different USB/Ethernet adapter and my TiVo did not recognize it (D-Link USB-650) so beware of using that on a TiVo.

The Linksys USB100TX is the wired adaptor recommended by TiVo and it works perfectly, first time.

I connected my TIVO to my Linksys rounter WRT54G and it works great. Also I am now able to use TIVO "To Go" by downloading a show from my Tivo to my laptop.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you can go another way, you should., January 27, 2001

OK, my company has three Gateway Astros, and they have ONLY USB connectivity. I had not choice but to purchase these. First, I have noticed that most USB NIC's only support 10Mbps connections, which was a problem for our network infrastructure. The other problem was that most of them were not Windows 2000 compatabile (no, the 3com is not compatible). This one is 10/100 and is Windows 2000 compatible. However, they are not ideal. The USB bus only support 16Mbps output, so you are limited to this even on a 100Mbps connection, which is why I am tell you. If you can go another way, you should. The do work well though, I recomend them.
