    Belkin F5D7000 v1000 in 7 64-bit


    Hi, I've got a Belkin F5D7000 v1000 with a Broadcom chipset. Was wondering if anyone here has been able to get this card working in 7 64-bit?

    Hi Yezza,

    Hopefully someone here knows of a solution, but I'm not seeing Vista or Win7 drivers for any versions of the card earlier than v4000: Belkin Australia : Support : F5D7000 Wireless G Desktop Card - Driver

    You may want to try this thread for more info: windows 7 and the F5D7000 wireless card question

    Hi yezza have you tried Broadcom direct? I know that they release drivers MUCH quicker than Belkin do, I have this issue myself with a Belkin USB stick, mine is Ralink though.

    If you can post the long model number on the stick (it should start with a K i think) then i might be able to find chipset drivers for you and we can "hack" them into working with win7 like i did with my Ralink ones. No promises though

    Hey guys, thanks for the response. I don't have 7 installed yet, but plan on doing so by the end of next week.

    Thanks, I will take a look. :)

    The only thing I can see that starts with a K on the chip is the FCC ID, which is K75-F5D7000A. There are lots of other numbers, too:

    version 1134

    On the silver chip, there's a number on the bottom right corner: P81552-A

    On the Broadcom chip are the following numbers, each on a separate line:

    BCM4306KFB (note: can't tell if that 6 is a 6 or an 8... almost positive it's a 6 though, and don't have a magnifying glass to confirm)
    HG0410 P30
    715208 N

    Let me know if you need anything else, and thanks for the help.

    All I see on the Belkin site is your V1000 card only supports 32 bit version: 1xxx, OS compatibility: Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows XP 32 BIT, Windows 98 SE

    You would need either a V7xxx or V8xxx version for 64 bit support using Vista 64 drivers.

    there is something very fishy going on here... every single driver for that chipset is offline =/ how odd... and broadcom dont seem to have it.

    By the way, yeah i did mean the FCC ID I couldn't remember the name but you provided me with the info i needed anyway in the broadcom bit. thats the chipset number. Ill keep looking and get back to you if i find something

    edit:
    Broadcom offers support for Ethernet NIC products and does not provide end-user support for other networking products at this time. Please contact your product's manufacturer for support related issues.
    Im really sorry... looks like you might be out of luck. Time to upgrade perhaps?

    I posted a solution on these forums yesterday for the Belkin card, but now I can't find it.

    You need to use the list of built in drivers.

    Oddly, Win 7 has the driver for the RT2500 (Its the chipset that the bekin uses) but it doesn't recognise it.

    Get to Device Manager, Right click, -> Update driver -> Browse -> Let Me Pick -> Network Adaptors -> RaLink Technology INC. (last one) -> then look for RT2500.
    And your done!

    I think this is the post you're talking about: Wireless adapter on 64 Bit

    For future reference, you can see a list of your previous posts by clicking your post count on any post, or by going to User CP.
