 Does not work when the door breaks!, 2008-10-28
I read that the door breaks on this adapter, but didn't really mind as I wasn't worried about cosmetics. However, the adapter will not work once the door breaks. Spend a little more money and get a better adapter!
 Great TiVo Accessory, 2008-09-18
I read the reviews about people saying that the little door is flimsy and they didn't like it as a laptop accessory, but since I was going to use it for my TiVo Series 2 box and TiVo recommended it I took a deep breath and went for it. Turns out it was a good call. My TiVo is really close to my wireless router, tucked in with my entertainment system components, so I basically made the connections and never have to bother with it again. It doesn't ever get moved or removed, so once it's in place it's good to go. However, if someone actually had to run the ethernet cable some distance from the usb to the router, and ever tripped over the wire or otherwise jilted it, I can see how the little door on the usb would snap and that would be the end of it. What the picture doesn't show very well is that the door isn't just an access point, it's crucial to holding the ethernet cord in place (and at a really weird and fragile angle at that). Without it, the cord wouldn't sit right (or at all really) and you'd be SOL or have to jimmy it with some pretty strong tape. At that point, it wouldn't be worth the trouble, just replace it. Never had any problems with its performance (connects just fine, downloaded an Unbox movie in under an hour) so bottom line--if you're going to plug it in and forget about it, it's a great little product.

I have been in the telecom field for 42 years, this ethernet connection is one of the worst I have ever seen. I had to tape the parts together so they wouldn't seperate. Electrically, it works fine.
Poorly Designed, 2008-06-24
Probably one of the poorest design pieces of engineering on par with the screen door for a submarine. The ethernet cable easily falls out of the slot. The "door" on the device falls off. You have to fix it often, particularly after the maid comes and dusts around the tv, or if someone breathes on it. I'm buying a different device. This one sucks.
 Plug in and move on..., 2008-05-12
I have no issues. I plugged it into my Tivo Series II (Humax) and it runs. The Humax detected it. We're done. Let's move on to something else....
