Summary: Old Tech required for Tivo
Review: I was forced to buy this thing because Tivo is too cheap to make a box that can use 80211G. Adding a 80211B to your network forces the wireless hub to work at B speed. For you techno-whizzes, you can set up separate networks, but for plug and play people, this thing is a square peg in a round hole.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fast & Easy
Review: Not much to say about this adapter, which is good. Each one that I have was a snap to install and has worked continuously since. I have all my home network devices (PCs, Tivos, etc.) securely connected to my wireless LAN. It sure beats wiring a home for a network!

Summary: Refreshing
Review: I tried to use a Dlink PCI card (DWL-510) to connect my desktop to my wireless access point and it was garbage! I have 10 years of IT background working with windows and UNIX servers and after two weeks no dice. So I retuned it and bought this. Wow! Setup was a breeze and reliability is amazing. I never drop signal and have a 4-5 bar signal two stories away from the touch point. I even got it to use windows wireless networking with 128bit WEP encryption. I wish I would have spent the money and not tried to cheap out on my first try. I this case I definitely got what I paid for.

Summary: Easy setup with TIVO
Review: Got this because TIVO manual said it was recommended for wireless connection. We had been connecting to the TIVO guide service through the phone line, and although it did it at 2am and it was a 800 call (I think) the phone line still ran around the room!
We had a Apple Airport wireless network anyway, so I thought I would give this a try for $30! Plugged it in and within minutes it was configured and working. Tivo is on ground floor and Airport is upstairs, no problem with signal.

Summary: TiVo - No Go!
Review: Don't buy this if your are a TiVo Series 2 owner. Older versions of this adapter worked with TiVo but not the version 4.0 which you'll get from Amazon. You'll now be forced to order the WUSB12 which is $20 more expensive.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Non Compatible
Review: I should have read the reviews before purchasing it. Why would someone sell the item as a package when the package is not compatible? I guess I now have a paper weight that is black and blue. How about thinking before selling!

Summary: Wusb11 Version 4 not compatable with W98 4.10
Review: Even though the Spec's posted by Amazon states it works with Windown 98 be aware that Linksys Ver. 4 will only work with Windows 98SE and above (Per Linksys Tech Support).
Linksys Ver. 2.6 and earler work with Windows 98 1st edition (4.10)and above.
Amazon is only shipping WUSB11's with Version 4.0
This device also will not work with Tivo series 2.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not Compatible with TIVO
Review: Beware - version 4 is not compatible with TIVO. I didn't bother to read the reviews before I ordered so now have a paperweight. Several others have pointed out that this item will not work with TIVO

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Works great with my Tivo!
Review: I just received the WUSB11 for Christmas, and I've been using to hook up my Tivo to my wireless network. It works great, and one thing that I love is it is MUCH, MUCH SMALLER than you'd think it would be -- it's only roughly 7-8 inches long and 4-5 inches wide.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Amazon does TIVO Users a Big Disservice
Review: As someone else mentions, this V.4 Adapter is NOT compatible with Tivo. Yet, Amazon links you to this when you buy a Tivo from them. It's not a huge leap to think they'd be compatible. Worse yet, you can't find in the online info that this IS V.4 and can't link to some new or used earlier versions that are compatible.
