Super fast, but can be set up any way you like

I ordered a new TiVo Premiere XL4 with this adapter and the installation was very easy. I connected the cables, pressed the WPS button on the router, then went back to TiVo to press the appropriate WPS discover button on the device and all was fine. I already had a TiVo HD with an old Wireless G USB adapter and found that transferring HD content between the two devices was unbearably slow. I bought a second "N" adapter for my old TiVo and expected the setup to be as smooth as the XL4, but it…

Pros
  • Faster multi-room playback: Move recordings more efficiently from one TiVo DVR to another
Cons

A little confusing to install but otherwise a good product

The basis for comparison is my previous wireless G USB adapter for my TivoHD. The Wireless G Adapter was easy to install on my home network - just a USB port on the back of TIVO and that's it. Product installation for wireless N products is not easy. The wireless version of the N (which I received as part of my Premiere update) is a bit more complex and requires its own adapter plug to plug into the LAN cable. and a wireless adapter. Think of it as a giant "Y" with a CAT 5/6 Ethernet (big phone

Pros
  • Faster TiVoToGo: Faster show downloads to portable devices with faster transfer to computer
Cons
  • I don't remember but something was

Interesting.

Reading the 1 star reviews I couldn't help but wonder what these people were doing as some of their comments are definitely wrong; The adapter definitely supports encryption. Again it was a little confusing with the setup. We already have a streaming setup for our Tivo with the old G adapter and apart from the occasional stream rebuffering - this seems more to do with streaming content than network - we haven't had any issues. What we had: Linksys WRT54GS Wireless-G Broadband Router. Tive…

Pros
  • Fewer Expectations: Download HD Movies & TV Programs Faster to TiVo DVR
Cons
  • Trivia

Adapter works, good speed but cumbersome to install and manage

TiVo I've had since it came out. After years of using Sony's Series 1 TiVo with lifetime warranty, I was convinced of the need for an upgrade when the Series 2 TiVo came out with wireless connectivity. I first connected them to the originally supported Linksys Wireless B USB adapters and enthusiastically upgraded to the TiVo AG0100 Wireless G USB Network Adapter for TiVo Series 2 and Series 3 DVR adapters when they came out and was very happy with the increased speed . There were several…

Pros
  • Faster multi-room browsing: transfer recordings from one TiVo to another with greater efficiency
Cons
  • Slightly dented
