Netgear WNCE3001 and Tivo Mini
I've connected my WNCE3001 to a tivo mini because i cannot run new networking cables between rooms in my apartment easily or cheaply. I have no problems with live television but cannot consistently connect to the shows recorded on my Tivo Roamio without having to power cycle my tivo at least a couple of times a day. It is probably a Tivo limitation but is there a way we can circumvent it by changing some configuration settings either for the WNCE3001 or for my router which is a Netgear WNDR4500 v1 ?
Thanks. So confirmed that the Netgear WNCE3001 cannot be used with the current Tivo Mini version.

Hi nsinha,
The only setting you can change on the router is the channel or mode but I don't think this will help as it might be a limitation of the TiVo as what you have mentioned.
Yes unfortunately.
When i called Tivo, they mentioned that there may be a wireless lag (even if it is a tenth of a second) between the wireless signal and the wired one that may be causing their systems to not be able to work together. I am going to see if connecting the main tivo module wirelessly also instead of via a hard connection will help with the synchronization... since now both modules will essentially be connected to the router wirelessly. I will provide an update after testing this later today.
That did not work. It would have been too easy.
So its back to power cycling before i use the tv connected wirelessly if i am not watching live content or the smart apps or unless someone else has a suggestion.
Thanks
