I also tested the adapter with Windows XP and did not require the CD to set it up (Windows 2003 did require the CD).

Note:
If you install this adapter with your system powered on, you will get an error message indicating a problem starting the device, this is normal and will go out after restarting.

So far, performance has been consistent and it has been 100% stable.

I hope that my review helps in evaluating this device.

Tivo Owners - THIS IS THE ONE TO GET.Jan 20, 2006
By Vornado
I previously owned the Linksys 200M and it broke with the touch of a feather because of a little plastic door which holds the ethernet cable. I know plenty of Tivo owners will make the same mistake because it is the only one "certified" on their website. Do not buy the Linksys 200M. This adapter installed so easily and connected to Tivo perfectly. The design is light years away from the Linksys 200M. Tivo owners - buy this one, you won't be sorry!

I bought this to Network my TivoMay 23, 2006
By Bilbo "Hobbit"
And network my Tivo I did. It worked right out the box without any problems at all - Tivo recognized it immediately.

Would have got 5 stars, but I do feel that the price point for this "brand" device is excessive now that USB is a very mature technology.

Incidentally, I bought a $6 + $2 shipping non-branded device from ebay which works perfectly with a colleague's Tivo.

USB 1.1 - Max 12MbpsJul 30, 2009
By C. Jackson "Charles"
I struggled with whether or not to review but felt a need to inform potential buyers that this is a USB 1.1 device. Meaning - at best it will transfer 12Mbps not 100Mbps. If you will be using this primarily for internet access you will likely not see any speed difference as most broadband speeds are far less than 12Mbps. However, if you have a home network and use this device to send/receive information across the network you will notice a significabnt lag compared to a standard network card or a USB 2.0 adapter which can take advantage of the full 200Mbps Full Duplex mode.

I am not suggesting in any way that this is a bad product - just make sure you get the product that best meets your needs. I do think the $25 is excessive for a USB 1.1 device, should be more in the $15 range - my opinion anyway.
