"Poor design keeps breaking"
I purchased the Linksys USB100M because it is the only way that I can connect my Tivo to my router. The design is seriously flawed. While trying to connect a cable to it, the hinged flap broke off on my original.

I purchased another one and the same thing happened. I have it clipped together with a large paper clamp now and it seems to be holding.

I would be interested in knowing what other expiences people have had with this.



"poor design"
very poor design..would never recommend this product.
The connection is so flaky,you will end up wasting lot of time.

"Tortis vs The Hare but It works with TIVO!"
If you are looking for a device that works with TIVO to connect your PC to the box, this is it. While the speed is slow like the tortis, you can make sure your transferes are completed and the hare won;t know what hit it. Tis version of the USB ethernet link is okayed but the one Tivo recommends. They say to go with the next generation which is faster but it seems to always time out because the TIVO system doesn't recognize it. So I settle for the slow Tortis and sent the speedy unreliable hare back to the store it came from!

Thanks Amazon - You are the best!

"DON'T BUY THIS ADAPTOR!"
As many of the other reviews here have stated, the thing falls apart very easily. Mine worked until I had to move the Tivo. The little hinged door broke right off. Now the cable is attached to it with electrical tape. Even that doesn't do the trick. I've been shopping for a replacement, but TiVo only recommends this one, or a wireless one that forces me to "dumb down" my wireless security to WEP. Grrrr....

How could a crappy product like this actually get produced?

"I'd give it 0 if I could!"
I went through no less than THREE of these Linksys "toys" trying to connect my second TiVo DVR to my (wired) network - the first one the hinges were broken, the second one just didn't work at all, and the third one was intermittent. I kept trying them because a) my first TiVo box was (and still is) using one of these successfully, and b) it's the one TiVo recommends!

I finally gave up and bought a Netgear USB adapter - it is MUCH more subtantial and worked perfectly, plug 'n play.

WHEN (and I'm sure it WILL) the original one breaks (if I accidentally tug on the cable or something silly like that) then I will also replace THAT one with a Netgear.

I cannot recommend this product at all.
