Product Description
NETGEAR's USB 2.0 Fast Ethernet Adapter brings blazing speed into your home network.

Just attach the adapter to an open USB port on either your computer or a USB hub and follow the on-screen installation instructions. No internal card is required, which means you're instantly connected without opening up your PC. Power, Link LEDs keep you informed of network activity. Hot swappable and compatible with both USB 1.1 and 2.0 hardware, it works conveniently with desktop and notebook PCs so you can enjoy the benefits of networking - sharing your Internet connection, transferring your files, and competing in multiplayer games.When connected to USB 2.0 port, this potent adapter connects 10 times faster than USB 1.1 for real 100 Mbps network access. (USB 2.0 is a 480 Mbps technology while USB 1.1 is a 12 Mbps technology, but a 100 Mbps connection will allow network access at a full 100 Mbps, compared to a mere 10 Mbps with USB 1.1.) Compact, portable size works conveniently with both desktop and notebook PCs without crowding your workspace. The FA120 easily plugs into the unit. There's no internal card so you're instantly connected at 10/100 Mbps without opening up your PC. User-friendly software guides you smoothly through installation and configuration. Compatible with both USB 1.1 and 2.0 hardware, this adapter allows both Plug and Play and hot swapping capability (where you don't need to power down your unit). You can alternate ports and cables, yet this versatile adapter will work at the fastest speed possible.

 Netgear USB NIC March 9, 2007

I bought 2 of these for my Tivo's. I have had them over a year and a half and they work perfectly.
easy to use February 13, 2007

 Works great, but no dice on the wireless January 4, 2007
J. Tyler (Tennessee)
I bought this hoping that my TiVo would be able to "see" the other devices on my network since I was connecting it directly to the wireless router. No such luck, though. Perhaps there is a workaround, but I haven't been able to find it yet. If you're planning to use this to connect a TiVo to a wireless router in order to set up a wireless server, be prepared for disappointment or a lot of hackery (or both).
Works with TIVO July 11, 2006

I used this adapter to connect my Tivo to my home network. I just connected it to the USB port on a the Tivo and connected an Ethernet cable to my Linksys router and I was up and running after following the instructions on the Tivo website.
Works perfectly on my TiVo July 4, 2006

After going through no less than THREE of the TiVo recommended Linksys USB adapters and all of them being either bad, broken, or intermittent, I bought this Netgear, which is substantial and worked perfectly right out of the package. I have two TiVo boxes and one still-working (amazingly) Linksys but when it gives up (and I'm sure it will, they are flimsy little things) then I'll buy another of these nice Netgear adapters instead!
I set this one up, powered up the Tivo, and it was immediately on my (wired) network and could "see" the other TiVo instantly. Gotta love plug 'n play!
