Customer Reviews
Easy to use 
2008-06-22
Needed this for my OLPC. Worked out of the box with no drivers needed.
NOTE: works great with USB hub layout.
worked as promised 
2007-12-12
Nothing really to "review" as this is a "worked" or- "did't-work" product. It worked.
Poorly designed 
2007-09-16
Does what it's supposed to and very easy to set-up, but falls apart constantly. It would be hard to imagine a worse design.
A COMPLETE JUNK!!! 2007-08-29
Bought it today and it is already broken. Poor design and too fragile. I am currently using a rubberband to hold the flap together. Don't buy!!!!!!!!!
Flimsy connector 2007-07-16
The connector isn't robust. It popped apart the first day I used it. The latch pops up and you plug the network cable into a flat but hollow connector. It should be more like a sleeve so that the entire RJ-45 clip is surrounded and secure. I'm planning to return the adapter, unhappy that I spent so much on overnight postage.
Poor design keeps breaking 2007-06-12

poor design 2006-12-09
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! 
2006-09-01
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! 2006-07-25
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! 2006-07-04
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.
