 Third party software delayed installation July 28, 2010
M. Dinko
I bought this item in Decemeber 09, and just the other day (7/24/10), I finally was able to get it hooked up and working exactly as it is supposed to work. The problem wasn't the unit as it arrived very promptly after ordering in new condition as advertised, (original packaging), and it seemed easy enough to hook up. Plug it into Tivo, follow the Tivo Central instructions, and all should be hooked up. I tried for hours to get it to work with phone calls to Tivo support and DLink support, and just gave up in utter frustration.
As I said, problem was not with Tivo wireless hookup, problem was with third party network management software (Network Magic). I had tried, when I first got the item to hook it up with help from Tivo support, but everytime I got to entering the security key/password, (one step away from completion), it always said unable to find network even though it always found the network, by name, earlier in the process.
During my second attempt (7/24/10) to finally get this hooked up, the Tivo support rep. mentioned I needed to call my DLink support and get the key/password to enter. I had gone through this before, and knew the DLink call would cost about $40 since the support period had run out long ago. It struck me then that I had Network Magic network management software, and asked if that could be the issue. Tivo doesn't support that software and the rep. told me to call Network Magic and ask them if there was something blocking my connection.
After getting off the phone, I checked Network Magic software and found a "Network Lock" selection that I disabled and was immediately able to connect to the wireless Tivo. The "Network Lock" prohibited any other device from entering my network, but it also kept the Tivo from making the final connection. I did call the Netork Magic support a few days later to confirm that disabling, then reenabling would not cause any furter disruption to the Tivo connection. I was told once in the network, stays in the network.
Hope this helps someone out there cause I spent several hours trying to get this item to work.
Perfect for Access and Updating July 26, 2010

If you have a wireless connection at home, you need this now. basically, you plug and play - and enter your wireless network's password - and you will never worry about updating your TIVo again. Great reception - I have my wireless box upstairs and on the other side of the house, and the TIVO wireless receiver downstairs and on the other end of the house: no connectivity or throughput issues.
Great Product! July 26, 2010
Karen Hopkins (Santa Monica, California USA)
Great adapter. It was very easy to set up. I just plugged it in, and it found my wireless network right away. I just entered my password, and it worked. The price was also much less than I have seen elsewhere. Free shipping was just the icing on the cake.
Yes This Works on Tivo Premiere July 21, 2010

After searching for someone to write a review that definitively states that this works on Tivo Premiere, I decided to just take a chance and try it for myself. I can now post my findings. Yes, this DOES work on Tivo Premiere (aka Tivo Series 4). Despite Amazon saying that this is for Tivo Series 2 & 3, I can now confirm that this works on Tivo Premiere with a Wireless B/G network. It is much cheaper on Amazon than through Tivo or other electronic retailers.
Now Tivo Premiere has pissed me off by only accepting the Tivo Wireless Adapter - others won't work (at least not yet), as they did on previous Tivos. And you need to use either one of these Tivo Wireless Adapters, a LAN cable, or purchase an adapter to turn a phone line into a LAN line. Not too happy about that, but this Wireless Adapter works very well so far - I've only had it running for about an hour now. It does seem to get the signal much better than a different adapter used on a different Tivo in the same spot. So basically I am happy.
 It works as advertised July 20, 2010

I plugged it in to replace my ancient wireless b USB adapter. It picked up the network right away and got a nice, strong signal (96-100%...something I seldom saw from the old network adaptor). TiVo's network adapter scores above my old wireless b adapter in two major respects. First, it supports stronger WPA wireless security. I had been using the old adapter with WEP for several years, but recently became concerned about the security of my wireless network. Secondly, there is a noticeable increase in the speed of TiVo-to-Go transfers from my TiVo box to my computer. It comes to roughly a 2 to 2.5-fold improvement over the old b adapter. I was hoping for even faster transfers, but I guess this will do for now.
