If these jokers could have just put a decent cat5 connector on this thing, it would be great. The cat5 connector doesn't hold the cable in, doesn't hold the pins to the cable, and breaks very easily. Support could care less when it does break. Avoid this.

I got this for the sole purpose of connecting my Tivo to the network so I could take advantage of Tivo ToGo. The online reviews were the only thing that made me a little shakey about this, however, it is one of only two adapters currently said to be comapatible by Tivo.

I have to say that I have no problems with it whatsoever. Although the door is a bit weak, it is no where near as bad as some of these reviews. Plugging the ethernet into it took a bit of wiggling, but it isn't going anywhere. I've been using it to transfer things to my computer with out problems.

Basically, unless you plan on throwing the thing around before hooking it up, it works perfectly. Connection with TiVo couldn't have been easier, and is small and stays out of the way.

As others have noted, this adapter is extremely flimsy. The case on mine cracked as I was inserting it for the first time, into the provided extension cable. The ethernet jack does not seem to hold the plug very securely, either.

Avoid this adapter at all costs.

I have used many Linksys networking products, and I will continue too, but this adapter is junk. There is a little door that opens at an angle to allow the rj-45 connecter (lan cable) to attach. Problem is, that is does NOT securely hold the cable in place.

I too am using this device for a TIVO. And while I read the previous reviews, I decided that since I will plug it in, and probably not move the cable but once a year, surely it will hold just fine. Wrong! The first week, I had to reconnect the cable a dozen times.

I am still using the adapter, by wrapping the whole thing with electical tape. But I have little doubt that I will have to replace this thing sooner or later.

Unfortunately I do not know what adapter to advise getting. But trust me, that you can do much better than this adapter.

I bought this item for use with my Tivo. It it was one of their two recommended USB network adaptors (the other is Linksys 100TX and I had to replace that 3 times within 6 months). Now that it's broke I am on hold with their tech support and it's a very painful exsperience. They are getting worse and worse. The item itself is VERY flimsy like other users have stated. It just stopped working for no reason. I will never buy a linksys adator again, they should stick with making routers and hubs.
