Trouble connecting to the internet (Wireless)

Alright guys, PLEASE help me out here I'm going insane trying to figure this out lol..

I have a Belkin USB Wireless Adapter F5D7050. In Windows 7 I can install the adapter fine. And I can get to where my available networks are showing. The problem is when I try to connect to my home network it says, "Windows is unable to connect to <my network>"

What is frustrating is that I've been able to connect to my home network a few times, but it only connects for a couple of minutes and then the connection is gone.

I've gone to Belkin's website and I have the drivers etc. and when I go to Start > Devices and Printers I can even see the Belkin USB Adapter so I know it's installed right.

One thing though is it says the #2 after the Belkin USB adapter in the Devices & Printers. Idk if this is anything important.


Here is my PC info:

Processor name Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz
Processor speed 2842
Processor vendor GenuineIntel
Processor count (cores) 4
Processor ID Intel64 Family 6 Model 23 Stepping 10
RAM size 4.00 GB
DirectX version 4.09.00.0904
HDD - Windows partition 500 GB
HDD - Largest disk 500 GB
Video RAM 512 MB
Windows version Windows 7 (6.1.7600)

Edit: My Belkin Adapter also shows up as a Unidentified Device sometimes as well... and other times it shows up perfectly fine if I unplug/replug

So wen you connected to your home wireless network, it initially connects and then after a period of time it disconnects and the network disappears altogether?

Can you screenshot these:
1) Network connections. (click on the Change adapter settings on Network and Sharing Centre).
2) Manage Wireless Networks (click on the Manage Wireless Networks on Network and Sharing Centre).
3) ipconfig /all (At command prompt type: ipconfig /all)

Yup, say if It shows three networks including mine. Sometimes I CAN connect and other times I wont even be able to connect. If I can connect though, I will have internet access for a few minutes and then it will drop. When I go back to view my networks, my network that I was connected on is gone - like you said.

Yes when I plug it in and it is unidentified there is a yellow exclamation mark. What is weird though is that when I first installed Windows 7 earlier I was connected for about 30 minutes and then it all took a dive. And now I haven't been connected for more than 3-4 minutes (if I can even connect)

My network connections is empty


Here is my manage wireless connections




This is the error I get. I was able to view my network and my neighbors, and then when I tried to connect I was not able:





I don't know how to IP Config? Do I type that in the search bar under the start menu?

aem, but what happens is when it doesn't recognize my card, I reinstall the drivers and it works, it says Device Drivers successfully installed. But then if I reboot it wont recognize the card at all. And if I unplug and replug the adapter it will sometimes try to automatically install the adapter, but it fails.
