Question: Question for those of you who have used the Wireless G. The one you don't have to plug in. Is this more reliable & faster, not as reliable or same?
Document: This product is terrible. I used to use the Wireless G adapter which was generally reliable and received decent reception. That product also had an excellent setup experience which used the TiVo menus. During our recent move I lost the proprietary USB cord for that device and thought it would be a good idea to upgrade to the N adapter. Terrible mistake on my part.Unlike the old USB adapter, this one requires power (yet another thing to plug in) and plugs into the TiVo via a standard network port.
This adapter is considerably faster than the "G adapter" that I used to have. Our Netgear router is capable of 5 GHz speeds so if you have a router that can run that fast, then the TiVo wireless N adapter will improve the speeds of all your wireless TiVo procedures and content.On the other hand, if you don't have a 5 GHz capable router, the N adapter will still work but at the 2.4 GHz speed which is the speed that the TiVo wireless G adapter runs at.
Ethernet provides faster speeds and more reliable connection, doesn't look silly in my entertainment center and doesn't use power.
To be honest, I enjoy using technology, not obsessing over it. I had the previous version of this adapter (the G) for several years with my Series 2, and it worked just fine. When I upgraded to a Premiere with an HD TV, I went on just about everyone's advice and purchased this one for faster download speeds. I do find that it makes a slight difference with HuluPlus, negligibly with Netflix, and I didn't try the G with Amazon videos so couldn't tell ya.
As anyone who has networked multiple TiVos in their home will agree, the faster the better for transferring shows between TiVos or even to a PC.I ordered the TiVO AN0100 Wireless N Network Adapters before I even had the new TiVo Premieres in hand, as there was no question that I would network them with the new adapters.When I set the adapters up on my new TiVos, I quickly found that TiVo seriously downgraded the new adapters. Yes, they are faster, enjoying Wireless N speeds.
This adapter works with about every kind of wireless router available (well not an A router, but those are rare). If you have a dual band N router (look at the setup utility for your router, it will have 2.4 and 5GHz settings), use the 5GHz side for more reliable connections.If your router has one of those instant set up buttons, set up is double easy.
The setup wizard was easy from that point forward. It connected successfully. I plugged it in on my Tivo and followed the network setup on there. Transfers are very fast. An HD recording used to take about 1hr to transfer with my old Tivo Wireless G adapter. With the N, a 30 minute HD recording transferred in 2 minutes. So far this was well worth the frustration. I only gave this four stars since I think I would still be lost without the help of the IT guy at work.
This item does what it's supposed to do, but one star off for the reasons below:Pros- If there is such a thing as a beautiful wireless dongle, this is it! Very high quality materials, nice heavy feel, and quality lights and documentation to tell you how to get it going.- I had a quick question and the TiVo support line walked me through it right away.
I had to configure this via plugging it into the computer and turning off my wifi. Was really spoiled by the plug and play wireless G adapter. I don't notice much upgrade in performance, but it has not given my even a hint of trouble since we activated it properly.
And rather than being a USB plug, it connects with an ethernet plug. My HD streaming has been noticeably faster with fewer buffering interruptions. The adapater itself is sleek and unobtrusive.
Answer: I'll be honest --- I have tried the Wireless G and Wireless N Adapters and have concluded that neither works perfect.  The Wireless G works better than the N --- but, if your TiVo is "too far" away from your router, neither works that good.  I no longer use the Wireless N Adapter at all -- it was terrible -- I am using a Dual Band Network Repeater, but even with that device I still have connection problems when trying to watch a program on another DVR.  If I had the option, I would run CAT-5 wire to every location and hard wire my TiVos.  The Wireless N Adapter that is in use and works well is closer to the Router but is not in direct line of sight --- so my conclusion is the problem is distance and possibly "interference" with other devices.
