Ok, to make things clear, we have an older, series one Tivo that works PERFECTLY on our wireless network.
On Saturday morning, I turned on our television and saw that our Series 2 Tivo was frozen. I unplugged it, plugged it back in, and it proceeded to power up, and then reboot when it got to the 'almost there, just need a few minutes more' screen.
I assumed from reading here that it was probably the hard drive, which sucks since we bought it in late September. That said, I went out last night and bought a new Series 2, same model number (starts with 540). I plug in the phone cord and everything else and power it up and it works fine. I am able to enter in all of the needed info and watch tv through it. I unplug the phone line, no problem, and then plug in the wireless adapter, and as soon as I did, the screen froze, then reboot, and continued to reboot at the same point the other Tivo did.
Keep in mind, this is not a new adapter, we had used it for 4 months with no problems until Saturday. Only then did we get the reboot problems, and the problems are consistent between Tivos and ONLY when we plug in the adapter. The model of the adapter is the Netgear WG111, which (without checking now) I recall as being compatible.
