2.0 out of 5 stars Nifty little tool but the door will break, December 2, 2004

This review is from: Cisco-Linksys USB200M EtherFast USB 2.0 10/100 Network Adapter (Personal Computers)

Its a nifty little tool and when I saw it at office depot; I bought it because i liked the design.
however, the design gets in the way of functionality. The nifty little door on the back is very prone to breaking and mine broke when it fell on the ground (hey this is travel accessory; it is supposed to fall on the ground). it would not have been so bad if it was just the door that will break. The device is designed in such a way that there is no way to hold the ethernet wire in place if the door is broken !!
so its now useless for me.
please dont buy it. the door will break (and soon) and then it will be no good.

2.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't hold the ethernet cable securely., December 12, 2004

I bought this to use with my TiVO. It works fine when it's connected, but it doesn't hold the ethernet cable securely enough. The slightest movement will break the connection with the unit. When my frustration level exceeds my annoyance level at having wasted my money on this thing, I'll buy something more sturdier.

2.0 out of 5 stars Get a different one, February 10, 2004

It worked instantly out of the box, but the hinged door is very cheap and fragile. If you look at the picture real closely, you see that you plug the cord into a flimsy hinged trap-door. When the door breaks or pops the hinges, the cord drops out. I had to replace it with a stronger direct plug-in type.
