Campatible Ethernet to USB Adapters

My apolgies if (a) this issue has been beaten to death already and/or (b) this is the wrong forum to post it in, but here goes nothing...

I've got an HR10-250 and a DRT800 (non-DirecTV TiVo unit) that I was looking to connect to my wired network. I've searched here and I've searched at TCF and haven't been able to get a clear answer in my head. I figured I can always find fantastic help here at DBSTalk, so I thought I'd ask here.

Is the TrendNet TU2-ET100 Ethernet to USB adapter a compatible (and effective) adapter to use for wiring these TiVos to my network? Both TiVos are completely unhacked - will this adapter work with at least the HR10-250 without having to do a bunch of stuff - basically plug it in and go through the set-up screens?

Thanks for your sage advice!!!


I use Comcast internet and utilize a Netgear router. I have had no issues with this set up with the HR20s and HR21 I have connected to this now.
