Done what you said, tried to go on IE 8 and it all disconnected now in the bottom right hand corner i have a yellow warning sign saying it's disconnected like i normally get, unless i restart the computer and login again then it connects again.

Thank you for your suggestion

start>search>type cmd>type ipconfig /all Use built in snipping tool (type snipping in search) to take a snapshot of results, and upload it to us using the attachment icon (shaped like a papaerclip) in the reply forms

I can't as i am using my Macbook to use the internet as i can't get any from my PC desktop i restarted now and it wont pick it up anymore.

If i uninstall all the drivers etc, is there anyway you can tell me how to install it properly so it will work with windows 7?

I am on my Macbook talking on the forum, next to my PC which i am having the problems with... as i can't use the PC to use this forum as i can't get internet on it, but the stuff your saying and suggesting i am doing as the PC with Windows 7 on is next to me.

I use Belkin N wireless adapter when on the road and my internal WiFi adapter don't find the signal; Belkin sometimes shows full signal quality when the internal shows only one or two bars out of five.

Anyway, I got it to work only after uninstalling Belkin's own drivers and installing Windows generic wireless driver. After that it's been working perfectly.

where do i get the windows generic wireless driver from?

 

[zigzag3143]

Just go into the device manager and uninstall the wifi driver. win 7 will find generic drivers for you

Like Ken said here above, just uninstall Belkin and let Windows find the drivers. Should work.

I uninstalled it all, and plugged it back in and it picked it up and said "no driver found" what can i do now?

 

[iBanksy]

Ok i installed the driver again, using compatibility as windows vista, it installed and then the PC picked up the Wireless adapter a popup came up saying "installing driver" then it came back with "failed" and closed...

 

[Kari]

I really don't know why your system can not find the built-in driver. If you still have enough patience to try, you could try this:

• disconnect Belkin USB
• uninstall all Belkin drivers using Device Manager
• uninstall BElkin software using Control Panel > Programs and Features
• reboot your computer
• reconnect Belkin USB
• let Windows install the drivers

It really should work, driver is included in all builds since build 7100.

Yeh it is so strange i had it connected a minuet ago and it picked up a few connection but when i tried connecting to one of them it took to long timed out and then when i tried fixing it by restarting the adapter and i totally lost the connection again now i have a yellow warning light on the driver on the driver list page now. I really don't know whats wrong with it.

 

[Kari]

What driver (manufacturer and version) you have? It should be this:

[iBanksy]

Well what i'm trying to install is my, Belkin Wireless G Network adapter: F5D7051.

Well what i'm trying to install is my, Belkin Wireless G Network adapter: F5D7051.

Sorry, maybe I was not clear enough.

Go to Device Manager and right click Network Adapters > Belkin. Choose Properties, choose Driver, and post here the Driver Provider an Driver Version.
