Wireless Networking my Tivo

[Ulysses]

I understand i can now make my Tivo wireless. I have seen some specs on using an Airnet card. However when i looked into this, the suggestion on the Tivoland website was to use a Wireless Gaming Adaptor with a Turbo Net / Cache Card. First of all is this right and if so do i need SDRam for the card for it to work and what Gaming Adaptor to use (i already own the Linksys Wireless - G (WGA54G) Adaptor). Most important of all is there any instructions on how to set this up.

Thanks for any help regarding this project

Hi,
We no longer stock the Airnet card.

The Airnet was simply an adapter that would allow you to insert a PCMCIA type wireless card. You still needed to get one of these cards and it had to be a specific chipset to work.

The speed of the Airnet was rather slow too so we decided with the introduction of the "Wireless Gaming Adapters" that the preferred option would be to install the Wired Cache/Network card which performs much better and convert it to wireless where neccessary!

The Cache card does not need the RAM installed if you simply want to use the networking facilities but should you experience a slowdown in the menus at a later date, you of-course then have the option to add the RAM.

Most routers support various WiFi standards, the only difference being as they have improved the speeds. I would think all wireless bridges/gaming adapters would work as most wireless devices support the older speeds for backwards compatability.

I can't be specific because I have only used one myself in the past, an old US Robotics 802.11g wireless bridge adapter and that was with a Draytek router.
