   Worked perfectly right out of the box in my Tivo Series 3 XL HD. By work I mean the TiVo AG0100 Wireless G USB Network Adapter for TiVo Series 2 and Series 3 DVRs completed initial calls, updated the TIVO software AND worked great under WPA encryption. So, I didn't have to use WEP on the network! I have not tried any downloads or video on demand yet. I found out that signal strength worked better at higher elevations in the room. So, I set the wireless adapter up with an 8 foot USB extender cable reach to the top of the TV Cabinet. I also fooled around with the flip up antenna angle until I maxed out at 49% signal strength (as reported by TIVO). This unit does the job but my Dell laptop thinks the signal is better than that. Maybe the Dell Laptop has a better antenna or perhaps better amplifiers?

   This wireless adapter is a great convenience. My TIVO is in the basement and I've wanted to have the freedom to move it but did not have a phone line near the cable outlet in the other rooms where I wanted to use it. Now the box can go anywhere.
   
   Installation is very easy and instructions are clear on the packaging. You can also access the instructions on the TIVO website. I plugged it in and updated the TIVO network settings (my TIVO recognized that I had changed from phone line to network)and it worked right away. Reception is great even though my basement is the farthest spot from my wireless network.

   This is in use by my sister but I returned mine. TIVO told me I could only use this device to network my TIVOs and they are not correct. I had a Linksys wireless bridge and decided to try to use it hooked up to the TIVO and it works great. The transfer of shows between TIVOS is faster than via USB on my network than my sister experiences with the USB. I returned it for credit as I'm happy with my current setup.

   This thing works really well. It's a little slow but that's Comcast's fault, because their internet service sucks! But this Item is pretty cool and works great too!
