Wireless Router: Linksys WRT54G
USB Wireless Adapter: Netgear WG111
Secure Wireless Settings: WEP 128 bits

The problem was that my router was setting the WEP key to the third key choice (I get 4 different keys for each passphrase), and TiVo only works with the first one. The router was also set to ‘Auto’ on Authentication Type on the “Advanced Wireless Settings” screen, and I had to change it to ‘Shared’.

After changing the two things above, my TiVo started working right away and it is now downloading updates.
