hate them.......2007-06-01

we got these for our tivos...they are terrible. poor reception and constantly need to be reset.

Avoid NetGear and Apple OS X.......2006-07-26

Got a deal on this WG111 v2. No mention of anything but windows on the documentation. Called support. NetGear does not support OS X. And it appears that one option is to PAY for a driver but that doesn't seem right. I'm returning mine.

works great with Tivo.......2006-03-12

I bought this to allow my tivo to update through our wireless internet network. Like the person who commented below, I gave Verizon the boot after much frustration, and do not have an analogue phoneline anymore. This was basically "plus and play"; all I had to do was plug it in and follow the on screen instructions (once I figured out that having the USB adapter to close to the Tivo recorder was causing some interference- it must be on a USB cable about 2-3 feet from the Tivo, wireless router and any things like coreless phones etc.)

The only problem is that you HAVE to use an analogue phone line for initial set up of Tivo service, but this is a Tivo issue and has nothing to do with this product. Once you haul the Tivo over to a friend's place to use their analogue phone line for the initial set up and get any software updates, this works beautifully.

TIVO savior.......2006-02-11

If you have tivo, get this. You can not find a tivo compatible adapter in the store. This is old school, but it works.

Do you HATE the phone company? This thing can help you stick it to 'em........2005-12-05

The last thing I needed my local phone company for was my TiVo. Although TiVo was the ONLY ONE WHO EVER USED THE PHONE, I still got outrageous bills. Anything over 15 miles is long distance? Are you kidding me, SBC?

So I VOWED that this was it. No more. No more SBC. And I hung up the phone full of righteous indignation. Then reality set in -- I don't have an alternative. Life without TiVo nearly made me bawl like the spoiled American I am.

So I did what I always do in this type of situation -- I asked Google what to do. Google and TiVo told me what to do. Be sure to check the TiVo site to get the right kind of adapter for your version of TiVo.

Buy this. Plug it in. Shoot the bird in the general direction of the phone company.

*Sigh*

It's so nice to beat a utility for once.
