Wireless N Adapter Now Available
Written by oneself on 5:13 AMby network adapters
In March, TiVo announced the Wireless N Adapter, designed to make downloads and transfers faster and easier. The Wireless N Adapter is now available for purchase on tivo.com or server adatper later this week from Best Buy.If you want faster broadband downloads or enjoy the flexibility of sharing content between two or more TiVo DVRs at home, this adapter is for you. When used with your N-speed router or an N-speed bridge, the adapter connects your TiVo box to your wireless home network giving you faster downloads from sources like Amazon Video On Demand, speedier transfers between TiVo boxes within the home, as well as extended range.
TiVo has offered the wireless G adapter for a few years, but this new Wireless N Adapter takes your TiVo DVR broadband experience up a notch by focusing on speed and performance.If you don't own an N-speed router, you will need to plug a second TiVo Wireless N Adapter into your G- or B- speed router to get N-speed downloads. The adapter works with all dual tuner TiVo DVRs and is backwards compatible with older networks.
This adapter comes with only a 5dbi antenna, but the USB adapter has 2 A ports on it, I guess to have more current and 2x in parallel 4.8V (Standard USB) potential. This adapter has the SAME chipset as the Alfa card:!! This is amazing! I used the ethernet adapter driver with the two USB adapters and the ath9k driver with the sr71e. Both work flawlessly in WeakNet Linux WEAKERTHAN. The only WiFi drivers I left out of WNLA (That i can think of) that will not inject properly was the latest madwifi-ng. This includes the ath_pci kernel module. The reason being so was that they were loaded by default before ath9k or ath5k drivers (which are far more stable.) This mean that the end user would have to do an:
rmmod ath_pci && rmmod ath9k && modprobe ath9kbefore their device were ready.. yeah, anything that complex would be cause for bad review on WNLAv4.The reason why I see so many AP's is that I ran this test from my office in the city where I live. The difference I saw in AP count was in my residential area. With the network adapter I saw maybe on average 6-7 AP's while sitting still in the un-comfortable environment of my temporary apartment's living room. With the external USB devices I actually see about 15 AP's.
