TiVo AG0100 Wireless G USB Network Adapter for TiVo Series 2 and Series 3 DVRs
Eliminates the need for a phone line.
Many of us these days are eliminating the landline phone connection, relying either on VoIP or cellular exclusively.  The problem for us has been that our Tivo units need their connection to the landline.  Using other wireless devices to connect the Tivo to my home network has been a hit or miss proposition.  I was exicted to try out this one directly from Tivo. <br /> <br />I am very pleased.  It works as advertised and the onscreen set-up went smoothly with only one flaw:  The WEP encryption.  I know from reading the Tivo boards that many have had the same problem when the unit fails to connect to the wireless network.  The solution:  if you're using an alpha-numeric password on your network, convert it to hexidecimal and enter the password on the Tivo in hexidecimal format.  For some reason there must be a difference in converting the alpha-numeric into hexidecimal.   <br /> <br />Anyway, chances are you will not have any problems and if you do, the above solution should correct them.  After I entered the password in hex, I've had no problems since.  I can network the Tivo to my computer and display pictures and play music from my computer on the TV.  It's great.  Green Thumbs Up.
