Beware of network adapter incompatibility with TiVo Series2
If you hope to connect a TiVo Series2 DVR to your broadband internet service using the Linksys network adapter model WUSB11 (version 4) sold by Amazon & most other retailers, think again. Only versions 2.6, 2.8 & 3.0 of the Linksys adapter will work with TiVo. None of the retailers seem to be aware of the incompatibility. TiVo seems intent on disguising the incompatibility, & then blaming consumers &/or retailers...caveat emptor.  <br />The fairly typical frustrations of an unwary purchaser were posted on Jan 10th on the TiVo user forum: <br />\\"Help me find a USB adapter!! I just purchased a new TIVO Series 2 with DVD burner from Pioneer. It's my 2nd TIVO to use wireless. My first USB Linksys WUSB11 was version 2.6 and it works great. I purchased another WUSB11, but I guess it's version 4.0 and it is not compatible. I've gone to CompUSA, Best Buy, MicroCenter and Circuit City and NONE of them carry the 2.6 version anymore. I've searched the web high and low and I can't find version numbers ANYWHERE on their web sites. The TIVO store is out of USB adapters. <br />Where can I get a Linksys WUSB11 Version 2.6???? (802.11b) It's driving me mad. Plus, I'm driving all over Boston trying to find this. This is insane.\\" <br /> <br />Thanks!!
