Cisco-Linksys USB Ethernet Adapter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this product in order to connect my Tivo (Series 2) to my internet router and bypass my home telephone connection. It has worked perfectly from day one and I have absolutely no complaints.
Before I purchased this adapter, I was told by a salesperson at Best Buy that I would not be able to connect my Tivo to the internet using this device (or any device like it) because it would almost certainly require drivers to be installed and since the Tivo lacks a CD-ROM, I would not be able to install the drivers. After some research online, I found that there are a handful of adapters like this one that are known to work well with the Tivo devices, even without drivers.
I was still hesitant when I received my adapter because I expected the drivers to be an issue. It was not. My Tivo recognized the adapter and connected right away. It couldn't have been easier.
For someone who is looking for a similar product to connect their Series 2 Tivo to the internet, I would caution that the drivers may indeed be an issue on inferior adapters, but this specific adapter has worked wonderfully for me.

NETGEAR WG111 Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter (54 Mbps) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the Netgear USB wireless G adapter to enable me to network my Tivo Series 2 and take advantage of its home media capabilities. I could not be happier with the Netgear's performance. Once my Tivo had downloaded new firmware (its software version 7 is required), I simply plugged the Netgear into the USB slot. Boo-bam, worked like a charm. No configuring, no dropped signals. Good throughput. I am using a Belkin Pre-N wireless router. I was a little leery of USB wireless adapters, but the Netgear worked perfectly with no configuration.
