yes the latch door is flimsy. yes the angle at which the ethernet jack plugs into it is odd. but it works great. and there is a usb cable extender, which u should definitely use, because without it i think it would put too much pressure on the usb port.

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!

I read the reviews about people saying that the little door is flimsy and they didn't like it as a laptop accessory, but since I was going to use it for my TiVo Series 2 box and TiVo recommended it I took a deep breath and went for it. Turns out it was a good call. My TiVo is really close to my wireless router, tucked in with my entertainment system components, so I basically made the connections and never have to bother with it again. It doesn't ever get moved or removed, so once it's in place it's good to go. However, if someone actually had to run the ethernet cable some distance from the usb to the router, and ever tripped over the wire or otherwise jilted it, I can see how the little door on the usb would snap and that would be the end of it. What the picture doesn't show very well is that the door isn't just an access point, it's crucial to holding the ethernet cord in place (and at a really weird and fragile angle at that). Without it, the cord wouldn't sit right (or at all really) and you'd be SOL or have to jimmy it with some pretty strong tape. At that point, it wouldn't be worth the trouble, just replace it. Never had any problems with its performance (connects just fine, downloaded an Unbox movie in under an hour) so bottom line--if you're going to plug it in and forget about it, it's a great little product.

My first TiVo, purchased a year ago, was the reason I bought this adapter, because it is the only one that TiVo says it has tested and guarantees to work with their product. And the first one DID, although I wondered about how flimsy it seemed. Well, I used the included dongle to hook it up and no problems, saw the network, and has worked great.

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!!

Like most people interested in this, I bought one for my Tivo (a Humax branded 590 series).

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.

I go this for my Tivo Series 2. It works very well with my Tivo and does everything it's supposed to do but the little door on it broke off the first day I used it and couldn't hold the network cable in. I ended up having to tape everything together. So, it works as it should, but is very fragile when you start plugging cables into it. Next time I order an adapter, I'll go wireless.
