Home Networks
When we refer to a "home network," we mean two or more devices (probably computers),
connected to a router. Connecting DVRs to a home network is the best way to take full
advantage of Home Media Option.

USB Ports. Wireless and Wired Network Adapters
On the back panel of your DVR, you will see two USB ports that can be used to connect
either a wireless or a wired (Ethernet) USB network adapter. Although you can use either
of these ports, only one network adapter can be connected at a time.
USB network adapters let your DVR use its USB port to communicate with other
networked devices. Whether you choose wireless or wired (Ethernet), you will need a
network adapter for each DVR you wish to connect.
TiVo recommends the following models of wireless and wired (Ethernet) network
adapters:
• Wireless: Linksys WUSBll ver. 2.6 - Instant Wireless USB Network Adapter,
Version 2.6 or later. (The version number is located on the front and side panels of the
box.)
• Wired (Ethernet): Linksys USBIOOTX - EtherFast® 10/100 USB Network Adapter.
Our customers have also reported some success with other models. Check TiVo online
support at www.tivo.com/adapters for the latest information.
