Problems with Wireless Connection

[wolverine98]

I currently have 4 DTivo's networked 3 of which are wired and one is wireless using Netgear MA111. The wireless one works fine and is surprisingly fast but I have been having a problem. Whenever I try to move a show from another Dtivo to the wireless one it works for about 5-10 min of show transfer and then stops. The Now Playing list disappears and none of the other Tivos can see the wireless one. If I unplug the adapter and plug it back into the OTHER USB slot on the tivo it starts working again for about another 5-10 min. This continues to happen. Any advice on possible problems/solutions? Thanks in advance.

Try replacing the adapter with one from one of the other TiVos. If the problem goes away, you've found the culprit.

I've ran into the same problem with mine. I have a series 2 TCD540040 and Netgear WG111 wireless adapter.

I've tried three times to transfer a 1 hour and 58 minute program. After the first failed attempt I went into TiVo Desktop and tweeked the Cache and Server Activity propertys and turned off the laptop hibernate and hard drive power options. The TiVo said I had no signal so I rebooted the system, the signal returned. I started the server and started the transfer and left for the day. When we got back I got the transfer interupted message with one minute left to transfer. I checked the video and got within a minute of the end. I checked the TiVo and once again had no signal. I rebooted the TiVo and the transfer started all over again. I got up this morning with the same indications only 30 minutes of video, rebooted TiVo and it's transfering again. Let's see if I can get it to work.

The TiVo decided to reboot and the transfer eventually failed. TiVo Desktop just blanks out and I have to close it out. This time I put the TiVo in Standby and will try again. I had 4 hr 22 min left, transfered 1640.

I did a search for Powering Off and found a thread posted by pete491 with a rebooting problem and corrected it with "Clear Program Data and To Do List". wolverine98 it would be interesting to know if your TiVo is rebooting, anytime I've disconnected my wireless adapter with the TiVo on it rebooted. The next step for me is to Clear Program Data and To Do List.
