I have 3 TiVo's (Series 2 - 40 & 80 and a Toshiba DVD). All have been working fine on a wireless network since the Home Option has been available. All were using a Linksys Wireless adapter. It worked great but it was slow to transfer.
A couple of months a go I ordered 3 TiVo Wireless G adapters. Installed them - no problems...and dramatic speed increase.
But after a couple of weeks the following has occurred:
- Every week or so I have to unplug the adapter(s) to reboot because they fall off the network
- Even more annoying: the transfer speeds have dipped beyond belief. A 1 hour show would take around 1 hour to transfer using the old Linksys B adapters. A 1 hour show would take around 30 mins to transfer with the new TiVo G adapters. Now a 1 hour show could take 6 to 8 hours to transfer!!!
I switched my Linksys router to a Linksys WRT54GX4 recently but I believe the slow transfer issue was happening long before the switch.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
