    i have 2.6.1 and it was working well over my wireless network. unfortunately the router broke. i got a new router and it works but now my tivo does not connect to the wireless network to transfer to my computer. the tivo does get the tv guide updates from the internet over the wireless. i am forgetting something as my system ran good for so long i do not remember how to reset it back up.

    please help me.

    thanks

    First, what does 2.6.1 mean? Is that the version of Desktop you have or the version of router? What router are you using right now.

    If you can get guide data, then the router is successfully giving your TiVo an IP address, although it might be very different value than your old router. You might have to relink your Desktop and TiVo.

    Go to Server > TiVo Server Properties > Access Control. Depending on your settings, you might have to manually link the box by putting a check in the appropriate box. If the TiVo is not listed there, look at your network and find the address the TiVo is using. Then try entering the address in your web browser. It should ask for username and password. Username is tivo and password is your Media Access Key. You should see a congratulations page.

    access does not show the tivo
    i tried to enter the address shown in configuration on my web browser and it says no such address
    i tried to change the address on my configuration page at the bottom but it would not let me change it.

    What address are you using? What configuration are you getting it from? When you go into your router settings, you should see all the addresses assigned to your network. Your computer will be one address and any other network items will also be listed.

    Is that the only address shown on the router? If so, it's possible your TiVo is accessing the internet through another router, possibly a neighbor. You might need to change your Network settings on the TiVo to make sure you're accessing your home router.

    You should upgrade to 2.6.2, but that has nothing to do with your problem. Your TiVo is clearly not connected to your router. Go to Settings > Phone and Network on your TiVo. What address does it say and what router name?

    Redo your network setup on your TiVo. Maybe there's a neighbor's router with the same name?

    It is very likely that you are connected to a different network than the TiVo. You should not leave the router on its default configuration.
    Where I live there are three Linksys as well as many other wireless routers with default configurations.

    Don't you have a nephew, cousin, uncle or neighbor that is a tech geek who can help?
