Customer Review: Needs updated drivers
Summary: 2 Stars
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 first. I've seen my first blue screens in two years after using this this device. I've loaned this handy device to others in our lab and yes it's handy but they have witnessed blue screens too.
I have not had issues with any mechanical failures.
A more traditional dongle with NIC connector on one end and USB on the other would likely be more durable than this this USB key looking device that is a USB-NIC adapter.
Customer Review: Piece of junk DO NOT BUY IT!

I too would give this 0 stars if I could. I bought one for my Tivo figuring that it's basically a plug and forget installation how bad can the weak looking design be? I had my tivo on and off the net so many times it was nearly impossible to use the networking functions. So I taped the Ethernet cable into the connector (not easy to do with this design either) and that helped for a bit until the tivo got moved a few inches...and even the taped cable starting having flaky connections. So I bought a netgear and problem solved. Haven't had a problem with my tivo since.Customer Review: Bad Design

I, too, had a problem with the door. I bought it because it was small (cute, even)... but I had trouble getting the ethernet cable to stay in as I was using it to plug into the back of my TiVo. Everytime I turned the TiVo around, the cable would come out. Finally I got it in, but later noticed it had slipped out again. Upon closer inspection, I saw that the door was slightly bent and now the cable won't stay in at all! Right now, it is literally being held on with masking tape! The thing didn't even last a week... and YES, I was VERY GENTLE with it.Customer Review: It does the job...

Ok, I agree the little flap is a bit rickety, but if you're going to use it for Tivo (like me) then you're going to set it up once and then it's going to be sitting behind your Tivo for a year or more. So as long as you're somewhat careful (it is, after all, a piece of technology, not a football) then it will work fine for you. I've had mine for over a year now, and I've changed my configuration a few times with no problems.
And by the way, mine is a version 2.0 and worked flawlessly with Tivo!
For the price, a good product!
Customer Review: Tivo Owners - DO NOT BUY THIS!
Summary: 1 Stars
I made the mistake a few years ago and bought version 1 and the cheap 1/999 millimeter plastic door broke. I looked at the Tivo website and saw that this one was still the only one certified by Tivo. Reluctanly I bought another and found it to be version 2 when I installed - pissed me off and I returned it and bought the Belkin F5D5050. The Belkin F5D5050 is 100x better - no cheap design and connected perfectly to Tivo the first time. I am only writing this to save others the heartache I went through...buy the Belkin F5D5050 and be done with it!
