Are these online directions for connecting your Tivo to a wireless network wrong, or am I misunderstanding them, or are they for something different? It states that you have to get a compatible wireless adapter, which I know is necessary and I found the list of compatible adapters. But then, it says you need to hook a usb cable from the Tivo to the wireless adapter? That's the part that I don't understand. That would make it no longer a wireless setup. Or are they talking about doing that only for the initial set up??? (which I did already over a phone line.)
The directions I'm talking about are below, (taken from Tivo's online customersupport knowledge database ( tv2008.htm ) Sorry, I'm a new poster so couldn't post the URL, but the directions I'm talking about are below.
To connect your DVR to your existing wireless network, perform the following steps:
To connect a TiVo Digital Video Recorder (DVR) to a wireless network, you will first need a compatible wireless adapter.
Connect one end of the USB cable to the USB port on the wireless USB network adapter. For some adapters, the cable may have to be connected a certain direction, so make sure to look for any directional labeling on the USB cable.
Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB port on the TiVo DVR. If you have two USB ports on your DVR, you can plug the cable into either port.
You will need to enter some information about your wireless network so that your DVR can connect to it. For more information go to Configuring My DVR to Connect to My Wireless Network.
Thanks!!
