Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Cisco-Linksys USB200M EtherFast USB 2.0 10/100 Network AdapterCustomer Review: Don't be the fool that I was . . . Summary: 1 Stars
No matter whether you think this is the answer to your Tivo or computer networking issues, don't be a fool . . . this is undoubtedly the worst engineered adapter I have ever put my hands on. It is not a matter of if it will break in your hands, but when. Trust me, it will let you down. I've owned it for a few months now and recently I picked it up and it broke! It's more delicate than a fine piece of china. Good luck -- like me, you only have yourself to blame if you ignore the other reviews and decide to buy this piece of crappy plastic!!!
Customer Review: As Robust as a Cornflake Summary: 1 Stars
Wish I had read the reviews before I wasted money on this piece of trash - it fell apart in my hand the first time I (carefully) connected the Ethernet cable.
I put its tiny loose parts back together using tweezers, and then had to reinforce it with heavy tape, just to get it to stay together. Unfortunately, I bought TWO LinkSys products at the same time, and they are both unusable junk. Never again!
Congratulations to LinkSys for making "Costly" and "Cheap" synonymous!
Customer Review: caution with tivo Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this adapter to use with my new Tivo, it is recommended on the tivo site. What it didn't say when I ordered was that there are two versions of this device. Version one works and version two does not. I was not aware of the differance and you have to open the box to check the device itself tell them apart. Amazon does not state which version it is and I am now stuck with one that doesn't work. Once you open the box you will only get 50% of the value for return and thats not worth the trouble.
Customer Review: Unreliable and it broke within 6 months Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this item for use with my Tivo. It it was one of their two recommended USB network adaptors (the other is Linksys 100TX and I had to replace that 3 times within 6 months). Now that it's broke I am on hold with their tech support and it's a very painful exsperience. They are getting worse and worse. The item itself is VERY flimsy like other users have stated. It just stopped working for no reason. I will never buy a linksys adator again, they should stick with making routers and hubs.
Customer Review: Don't waste your money Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this product for my Tivo and it broke within a few weeks. As other reviewers have said, the RJ45 connector is incredibly fragile and it's really not a question of if it will break but when. I recommend the Netgear FA120 instead. Instead of a flimsy flip-up, you plug the Cat-5 directly into a sturdy box, and it puts less pressure on the Tivo's USB port. How a big company like Linksys, with all it's money and brainpower, delivers such an obviously inferior product is beyond me.
