Cisco-Linksys USB100M, Speed limited to 12Mbps

Speed limited to 12Mbps

Although this device is a very nifty idea, since this device is only written to the USB 1.1 standard, its top transfer speed will be 12Mbps, which is will only give you 2Mbps more throughput when connected to a 100Mbps network, so beware of that. If it was USB 2.0, then it could more than handle the 100Mbps speed.

Update (2/9/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Connect Your Series 2 TiVo To Your LAN
I bought the USB100M specifically to connect a Sony SVR-3000 TiVo to my LAN. The drivers are built into the TiVo, and therefore there is nothing to do after plugging it in except restart the TiVo. Worked on the first try!The flip up part of the adapter does seem a bit fragile (be carefull when plugging in the cable), but I won’t be moving mine around now that it’s installed. If you’re going to be constantly plugging and unplugging the Ethernet cable, you might want a more robust product.I don’t see it listed anywhere in the product description, but it also comes with a short (about 6″) USB extension cable that can be used so that the adapter does not block access to an adjacent USB port or if you already have something bulky plugged in to an adjacent USB port.Five stars when used for a TiVo!

Way too fragile
I do not recommend this in a setting that industry, includes a lot of movement, ie on a laptop to children or pets. A wrong move or pull at the precarious angle of 45 degrees, then you must make your Snap Jack in the device completely unusable. The small revolving door is poorly developed, and if you get an adapter, I recommend the Netgear version B00006CJMP that are not only cheaper, but also allows a straight plug in.
