There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
when i got it, i installed it on my laptop with the software just to make sure it had the latest firmware/hardware updates on it. and while i did get the blue screen of death after install, once i restarted, it was sending and receiving packets with absolutely no problem, and i was surfing with it plugged into my laptop. BUT, i cant surf with it for more than a few minutes. i have no idea why, but i get the blue screen of death repeatedly when its plugged into my laptop. but i bought it for tivo, so i was ready to use it with my tivo.
all tivo literature says u HAVE TO HAVE a standard landline to complete initial setup. this is simply NOT TRUE. here is what u do:
1. plug in the usb-2-ethernet adapter before powering on tivo. of course, make sure its hooked up to a broadband connection somehow.
2. power up tivo, go thru setting up everything on your tivo
3. when it says it has to dial out to complete installation, enter in dialing prefix ",#401" -dont forget the comma.
4. it dials out, downloads anything it needs a whole lot faster than on a regular land line, and BOOM youre good to go.
ENJOY!
So enter into my household TiVo #2. This one has the built-in DVD recorder. So I dutifully trotted off and bought another Linksys adapter to hook it up too.
Nothing but trouble - the first one I got home with, the little metal arms that hold the plastic door were broken, so no possibility of connecting.
Back to Staples, where exchanges are easy at least. Got another one, and back home again, got it hooked up - it could see the network OK but kept losing connectivity! After much gnashing of teeth and pulling of hair, removed the known good adapter from TiVo #1, swapped with the NEW adapter, and guess what - now TiVo #2 is fine and #1 is intermittent! GRRRRRR! What a piece of junk. Hubby wanted to immediately take it out in the backyard and smash it to bits but hey, I paid $30 for it so it too shall return to Staples.
I've now ordered up the Netgear USB adapter from Amazon and am awaiting its arrival - from the looks of it, it's much more substantial than this flimsy little "toy" adapter from Linksys.
TiVo, get with the program and stop recommending this junk!!
The design really is TERRIBLE. The door is unbelievably flimsy, and the Ethernet cable doesn't really feel like it makes a good connection (like they do with every other Ethernet port on Earth).
That said, I've owned it for 5 months now, disconnected it a few times, and so far it's worked perfectly. It was completely plug and play, and I haven't had a single network issue with my Tivo.
I think you'll probably be fine with it as long as you connect it once (VERY CAREFULLY) and just leave it hooked up. Ideally Linksys should release the same hardware in a more "normal" design with a full blown Ethernet port.
