5.0 out of 5 stars Wirless USB adapter for Tivo2
I bought this item because of the price - but it turned out to be perfect for my setup. I wanted to allow my Tivo 2 to get on my LAN. Previously I bought one of the tiny LinkSys wireless adapters - it worked and was recognized - but I could never get more than 38% out of it (guessing becasue the Tivo is nearly on the floor in a TV stand).

3.0 out of 5 stars A bargain, but doesn't play well with other kids
Pros:
* The Windows drivers installed easily and appeared to work well.
* used on Win2k and Win98 systems
* signal reception is good

Cons:
* Can't use WEP encryption if router/wireless hub has a Cisco chipset (Linksys, SMC, etc. rely on Cisco hardware).
* Unable to find drivers for Linux

This review is from: Hawking WU250 11Mbps Wireless LAN USB Adapter (Personal Computers)
I bought this item because of the price - but it turned out to be perfect for my setup. I wanted to allow my Tivo 2 to get on my LAN. Previously I bought one of the tiny LinkSys wireless adapters - it worked and was recognized - but I could never get more than 38% out of it (guessing becasue the Tivo is nearly on the floor in a TV stand). The Hawking comes with a extra-long USB cord which allows me to set the device on top of my TV instead of behind the Tivo - now I get over 60% signal!

If you are looking for a cheap wirless USB (esp for Tivo) get this one.
