Tivo AG0100 Wireless G USB Network Adapter

I originally planned to run a network cable to the living room, which wouldn't have been too much trouble, but when I added up all of the items I would need, including a modular wall jack and cat 5 cable, I would have spent $60 and 2-3 hours. The Tivo website had this adapter priced much higher, but Buy.com's $39 price was great. The adapter attaches to the USB port on the Tivo with the supplied cable. The Tivo recognizes it immediately, and connecting it to the network is very easy. I've downloaded some YouTube and MusicChoice videos and some video from my PC, and it's fairly quick. I haven't tried downloading an entire movie, so I can't say how well that would work or how long it would take.

Plugged it in and Tivo did the rest! The price can't be beat!!!

Tivo has kind of screwed us all by making their newer boxes to REQUIRE their proprietary, Tivo-branded network adapter. So if you want to network your Tivo, please don't reward them buy paying full price, especially at their (tivo.com) website. Buy.com, at least for now, is the best place I've found to buy it, and at the best price. *** Works great. The exact same device you'd buy from Tivo, but for a lot less money. I returned the one I bought at Best Buy, because it cost $30 more (plus tax) than the one I bought from buy.com.

I am pleased with this product. I had concerns at first because it took multiple tries to get my Tivo to update completely. It would only get part of the data it needed to function properly. After a few updates and restarts everything is in good working order. My TIVO no longer needs a land line. I received the adapter in the mail quickly and set up was a snap.

Everything you need comes in the box. Just plug it in, walk through the TIVO process and Waalaa! you are connected. Opens a whole new world to your TIVO experience. Order with confidence.

The adapter works great with our wireless network. No more phone cords needed to connect!

I was looking for a wireless adaptor for my TIVO unit and was thrilled when I spotted this one. Earlier I had ordered one from another vendor and the technical specs were not detailed enough for me to know that it would only work with a PC. I connected this adaptor to the TIVO and it has worked brilliantly from day one.

Extremely easy setup, mostly due to TiVo DVR Software. Appears to be very strong Adapter picking up networks that I did not even know were available in my neighborhood and did not appear listed using another Wireless Adapter that I had. I have a Netgear Router and was told by TiVo support that this would not work; but it was not a problem at all. Wish I had done this long ago. Much better than using a phone line to do updates and downloads for TiVo.

Had it hooked up and working within 10 mins. Replaced the phone line I was using which would take several attempts to download information. This device allows me to do it within minutes. No need to monitor it. Great product!

This TiVo wireless adapter replaced a Linksys adapter that was only wireless B. I am using it with the Toshiba SD-H400 unit that combines a DVD player with a Tivo unit. The Tivo unit is running Tivo Basic software (which is free for the lifetime of the unit), software version 9.3. This adapter connects my Tivo to my home wireless network using WPA-PSK TKIP security, with a dynamically assigned IP address. This fixed the WEP-only security "hole" that existed with the Linksys adapter, which was my main reason for the switch. An added side benefit is that program guide information now of course downloads to the Tivo much faster.

Worked right out of the box, adds a lot of functionality to TiVo. Though its a pain TiVo requires you to use their wireless adapter and cant use a cheaper alternative. You'd think it would be built in with newer Tivos but its not either. Anyway, great purchase to really take full advantage of your Tivo.

I ordered this TiVo wireless adapter, to replace a broken Linksys adapter that was only wireless B. I had tried a Linksys Wireless G adapter years ago, but it didn't work. I decided to try the TiVo adapter, since it was on sale on Buy.com. It was a great find! Worked out of the box on my new HD TiVo. I decided to try it on my old Toshiba TiVo, and it worked on that as well. Getting the wireless G made a HUGE difference. Going from 11 meg to 54 meg was a MUCH bigger improvement that I had ever expected. It allowed me to watch movies as soon as I started a transfer. Before, I had to wait for an hour to start watching a movie. I will say that I'm not sure I would pay full price if all I was doing was downloading the channel guide, so think about what you need the adapter for. I use it to transfer content between TiVo's so it makes a huge difference for me.

I used to have a Linksys WUSB12 for downloading video to Tivo TOGO on my desktop for transfer to my portable video player, the download speed was SO SLOW it will sometime take 12 hrs to download 4hrs of video, and often will crash the TivoToGo app. I have just installed this Tivo made unit, i downloaded 6hrs of video in less then 3hrs!!!! If you are one of the early users of Tivo to go with the old Linksys USB wireless adapter, get this one....it incredible!

It works the same as if I was buying it at any electronics store, but only at a much lower price.

It works well. Pretty easy to use though if you know NOTHING about networking you might get a bit confused (which would happen with any other adaptor also) But the important thing is this is the ONLY wireless adaptor for the TIVO which supports WPA security. From what I understand with any other adaptor the best you can do is WEP which is not very safe in today's environment. This one costs a bit more than others that will work but if you are concerned about security (and who isn't?), this is the one for you.

It was super-easy to hook up and connected my Tivo immediately. No complaints or problems since I installed it 2 weeks ago.

Worked as soon as I plugged it in the back of TiVo. Recognized by the TiVo Box and Toast's TiVo Transfer right away. The configuration on the TiVo screens to integrate this with my new wireless home network went easily and flawlessly. If you want to burn your favorite shows to disk...this is a great product to help get you there. (You will also need software for your computer, available for both Macs and PCs...as well as a disk burner.)

Using this adapter couldn't get any easier. Simply plug it in! I have two of these - one on an older Toshiba Series 2 TiVo/DVD player combo, and one on a Series3 HD. After plugging in, go to connection settings, choose your network, enter your network key (if your network is encrypted) and that's it. Just wish it was included with all the TiVos or at least less expensive.

I purchased the Tivo wireless adaptor about 1 month or so ago and I just LOVE IT! I have been wanting one for quite awhile, but didn't want to pay the full price on the Tivo site. I purchased the adaptor and thought it would be a week or so before I received it, but it arrived in just a couple days. I hooked it up and it connected effortlessly. I haven't even used all its options yet, but I love the little extras it gives you (games, weather, etc.). I look forward to putting it to full use. I highly recommend this item.

I had tried to find the other wireless adapters that are listed on TiVo's website as being compatible and was less than successful. I was able to find adapters that were close in their sku's and I tried three to no avail. I finally bit the bullet and paid a little more for the TiVo branded adapter and lo and behold it works PERFECTLY! There was no hassle in hooking it up and my TiVo recognized it instantly. The reception is GREAT as I found I was not only able to pick up my LAN but received the signals of others at great range (suburban/rural area). Definitely worth purchasing if you want to connect to your wireless network without any hassles.

Pros: Easy to set-up, works acceptably well. Cons: Less signal strength than my laptop resulting in slower down/uploads. I read a bunch of reviews prior to purchasing my TiVo and wireless network adapter. Some of them cri
