I would love too, but the router is upstairs on my main computer
along with three other desktop. The TIVO's are all downstairs.
I plan on buying a TIVO network adapter to remedy the problem. I had
an old Blitzz B usb network adapter that I put on the living room
TIVO (I have two)
I have TIVO adapter on the one in the master bedroom (Furthest away
from router wireless access point) and it will do WPA.

than WEP alone. I can't find a good discusion of this but IMS it is a WEP
router and a WPA router are both connected through a third router. You need
to to have the WEP router hooked up so it is not accessing the the rest of
the network. The third router should be WPA but I think it can be wired if
it has a way to segregate the WEP from the rest of the network.
The other option I found is a wired connection between the TiVO and a WPA
access point.
I avoid these problems by keeping my network wired.
