I've had a series 2 working with a Linksys USB200M ver2.1 for many years.
It suddenly stopped seeing the adapter. When I plug it in, the lights come on for a second and then go off. The Tivo doesn't even recognize something is plugged in.
I didn't know if this was the adapter or the Tivo, so here's what I did:
Got an old Netgear MA101 wireless adapter and plugged it in. The Tivo saw this and could connect to the network, no problem.
Tried the Linksys adapter on a PC, and the PC can see it and it is fully functional.
So, at this point, it seems the Tivo USB ports are working fine and the adapter is working fine, but they won't work together.
I got another Linksys (same model) and tried that with the same results - lights flash, then go out and Tivo sees nothing attached.
I am wondering if this might be some sort of software corruption/glitch that hosed the drivers for the Linksys on the Tivo.
Has anyone seen something like this before? and if so, how can you fix it?
