  I have a home network and a Sony SVR-3000 series 2 TiVo so I purchased a WUSB11 in order to put the TiVo on the home network and disconnect it from the phone line.

  TiVo recommends the WUSB11 v2.6 specifically. Amazon’s description did not actually say if this was the version shipping but I did receive the correct version with my order.

  The unit is very compact and I was able to set it back inside a solid oak AV cabinet with glass doors without any serious loss of signal quality. The WUSB11 draws all its power from the USB connection so I did not have to run a power cable into the cabinet for it.

  Thanks for putting the WUSB11 in my Gold Box offers, Amazon.

  Ever see a movie where everything works just like it should? No rebooting when the hero tried to go online with the alien motherships’s mainframe? Just connected right away….

  Well, here’s a device that works just like that. I received this Wireless adapter, along with a Linksys BEFW11S4 Router (See my review and setup for that item) for Christmas. While I may have some issues setting up the router, this Wireless adapter worked right out of the box.

  I installed the software, plugged it into my daughter’s computer in the kitchen and, Boom, it found the wireless router upstairs in my office. I set up Internet Explorer to use the LAN and she was up and surfing in no time. She is getting about 5mbps in the kitchen when connected to the router upstairs and across the house.

  I’ve got to say this was a great gift, and easy to set up.

  WONDERFUL PRODUCT! HOWEVER, THE NEW VERSION 4.0 IS NOT COMPATABLE WITH TIVO! TRY WUSB12 INSTEAD.

  I bought this adapter to create a wireless TIVO network. After plugging the adapter to the back of the series 2 Tivo recorder and downloading the desktop, I had an instant wireless network. It was set up in minutes and has operated flawlessly.

  I bought a series 2 40 GB TIVO recently. I had no phone lines near my TV. My computer is upstairs and had a wireless router from lynksys to connect to another computer at the other end of the house. So I bought this adapter and hooked it up to my TIVO. I set the SSID and password. It started working right away with a good connection (75%). I set up the TIVO desktop on the computer and published by photos and MP3s. I could then view my photos and listen to my MP3s downstairs. It worked great. 5/5 rating.

  I purchased the WUSB11 without any notification from Amazon on what VERSION it was, Needed v2.6 to work with my TIVO, AND Amazon advertized that this would work with TIVO. THEY shipped me v4.0 and WOULD NOT even talk with me about exchanging it, said it was my fault for ordering the wrong ITEM, EVEN though it was the right item and THEY did not allow for input of WHAT VERSION I NEEDED and THEY ADVERTIZED it worked with TIVO. FINALLY LinkSys made good on the whole deal by exchanging for the correct version BUT it should not have been LinkSys who did that but AMAZON.
  
  PLUS I missed out on the REBATE due to trying to work out the whole mess. Anyway the product works great with the TIVO when you have the correct VERSION, good luck getting that from AMAZON on the first try.

  This is a good USB adapter, but it does NOT work with the TiVO series 2 DVRs (when hooking up a wireless network). The TiVOs require the WUSB11 v2.6 v2.8 or v3. The product that ships from Amazon is v4, and it does not work with the TiVOs (at least as of 15 Nov 2004). The incompatability with v4 is mentioned on TiVOs site, but its hard to find.

  Gets better reception than my former Netgear MA111 USB adaptor for both TIVO and Windows XP Home edition computer. Painless to setup.

  The Linksys WUSB11 wireless network adapter worked flawlessly within 10 minutes of my inserting the USB cable in the back of my TIVO Series 2 DVR. The first thing I did was contact TIVO to find if my Linksys’ G speed router would be compatible with the WUSB11′s B speed. I was assured by the TIVO customer representative that the WUSB11 would work with TIVO even though my router was a G. Well, all I did was plug in the WUSB11, follow directions as offered by TIVO and there was nothing else to do. It just worked! Out of the box, it just worked!! The reasons I bought the Linksys router and USB network adapter were two-fold: 1) Two computer Geeks I know recommeded Linksys… My remarks in this review are related to hooking up the WUSB11 to a TIVO Series 2 device… The WUSB11 is totally compatible with my TIVO Series 2. No doubt about it.

  Plugged it in and set it up per TIVO screen instructions and that was it.
