Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Another way to get around it is to use a wireless adapter that plugs into the Ethernet port.
Tivo doesn't have an ethernet port. Only USB. If you want to use ethernet you have to use a USB to Ethernet adapter.
I too am using a Linksys on my Tivo, and it's great. The only issue is that it's a model that hasn't been current in well over a year and the two latest versions of the Linksys don't work with Tivo.

Support for high-speed vinyl recording; works with both 33-1/3 and 45 rpm speeds
Dangit. If only it had variable speed so that you could do 16 and 78 rpm as well.
The iMic USB microphone comes with software for ripping vinyl records, without having to connect a turntable to a pre-amp.
Checklist: 11 things to do after a hack (This is aimed at businesses.)
We preach quite a bit on this site about how to prevent security breaches, and hopefully you take it to heart and play an active role in hardening your systems. But sometimes even that ounce of prevention and pound of cure isn't enough to defend against a predator and the resulting penetration of your protections can be a mind-boggling experience.
Where do you begin? Here's a brief list of some steps to take "post-hack" to ensure you have the best chance of determining who did what and how it was done.
ISTR someone showing a device at CES that ripped 78s.
Our Olive Symphony will rip anything you attach to its audio input -- a turntable, a cassette player, an 8-track player, whatev.
I'm about ready to throw out my wireless router and get rid of Verizon DSL.
Wednesday night I came home late, and Emily informed me that we had no Internet. I was too tired to deal with it, so I called Verizon Thursday morning.
We established that their modem was working fine, and it was a Netgear problem. So, I called Netgear.
They quickly established that it was a DSL modem problem, so I called Verizon back.
Netgear told me that we needed to switch the modem to bridge mode and disable DHCP service. So, the Verizon guy, Al, walked me through how to do that. Then, Al helped me try to reconfigure the router for these settings, and I was supposed to be good to go.
But, we're not. The Internet is slower than slow, and some pages refuse to load at all. I've been able to check hotmail once since all of these changes. I am frustrated and don't know where to turn or what else to try. It was fine for three months as it was, and now the connection is just weird.
Anyone have any suggestions or things I could try? I don't want to have to call Verizon or Netgear again, because they just send me to the other.

Did they have you connect to just the dsl modem (bypass the Netgear wifi) with one machine? Many times the so called techs at these centers are just following specific tests.
As far as the router is concerned, I'm assuming they had you go through the usual "turn everything off" then start up the DSL modem, wait for it to be fully up, then turn on the router?.
Also, I find that usng DHCP on the router seems to work better than depending on the DHCP on the DSL box. Your DSL may vary.
It seems that they should not have had to change your settings if it was working before. Make sure the phone lines are securely in place, and that no one has swapped lines or put phones somewhere without a filter dongle, if Verison requires them.
Most of this I'm hoping has been tried, but it's best to ask than to assume when troubleshooting.

Yes.

Yes. I'v done this three or four times.

I know. But, it wasn't working at all, and I guess this is at least better than that.

Checked.

You're correct, but thank you.
