Summary: CAUTION: Version 2.1 does not work with all Tivo units
Rating: 1 out of 5 Date: 2009-02-04
The currently shipping version of this product is v2.1 which only works with Tivo units running TiVo Software Version 7.2.2 or later.

From the tivo website:
Linksys USB200M Ver. 1- To distinguish between Ver. 1 and Ver. 2, look on the side of the carton beneath the Package Contents listing. Ver. 1 has an image of an orange and white CD-ROM. Ver. 2 has no image of a CD-ROM.On the label on the adapter itself, Ver. 1 shows no version number; Ver. 2 shows "Ver. 2".

Linksys USB200M Ver. 2 & 2.1-- To distinguish between Ver. 1 and Ver. 2, look on the side of the carton beneath the Package Contents listing. Ver. 2 has no image of a CD-ROM and shows "Ver. 2". TiVo Software Version 7.2.2 or later required.

USB 200M ver. 2.1
The drivers for this device on Windows XP aren't rock solid.
If you plan on physically inserting and removing this USB device save your files 1st. I have seen my 1st blue screens in2years after using this this device. I have loaned this handy device to others in our lab and yes it's handy however they have witnessed blue screens too.
I have not had issues with any mechanical failures.
A more traditional dongle with NIC connector on1end and USB on the other would likely be more durable than this this USB key looking device that is a USB-NIC adapter.

Summary: Works well...bad design.

It's great that this adaptor is simply plug-and-play and works perfectly with my Series2 TiVo, however the little door is pretty annoying and I currently have tape wrapped around it to hold the ethernet cord in. I do not move my TiVo around much, so it's ok, however it would just be nice if the cord could at least "click" in, because it can shift so easily and lose contact with the adaptor.

Summary: Simple & gets the job done

The shipping and service were great. The product is delicate, the piece that flips up which also serves as the rj45 plug retainer is weak. I purchased2and1of them the piece broke in half. would endorse another manufacturer (if you must use usb to ethernet adapter) such as trendnet TU2-ET100. It is not as compact however more durable.
