USB 2 Ethernet adapter Plus Wireless Bridge

[mackaframa]

Is anyone using this combination? I am considering this for 2 reasons:

1. It's the easiest way to configure WEP, seeing that you do it on the Bridge, and the TiVo just sees an IP.

2. The Bridge can support 802.11g, which maybe irrelevant if I can't exceed 11Mbps anyway, but this is the newbie forum, and I'm sure someone will correct me if this is the case.

agreed

Not irrelevant. If you run the latest known good backport drivers, you will see a definitive speed increase.

Yep. Been doing it this way for nearly a year now.

And I receive speeds near that of my other Tivo which is wired.
