Belkin USB Wireless Adapter Problems...

[Kari]

OK. Built-in Windows driver is provided by Marvell Yukon, Belkin USB adapter uses Marvell's chipset. For reasons unknown to me the fact is Belkin's own drivers don't work with 7, you need the driver this image in my earlier post shows.

What build of 7 you have? The right driver is included in all builds since 7100. Did you already try this?

7500 i think and i just done what you post said by uninstalling everything disconnecting the USB restarting and connect again, i done that it picked up the device and said "installing driver" then it said driver install unsuccessful and had an red cross next to it.

Is there anyway of getting this driver online i need? so i can transfer it to my computer and install it like that.

I've tried to google Marvell Drivers, no luck.

I'll check something, back in hour or so.

When i unplug the adapter i get the normal disconnected sound when i plug it back in i get 3 quick deep beeps and nothing happens....

The attached zip contains the driver, let's hope it works. Once again, disconnect the USB adapter, uninstall all remains of Belkin in both Device Manager and Control Panel > Programs and Features. Unzip the driver to C:\Windows\system32\Drivers\. Reboot, reconnect the adapter. Come back to tell how it went.

Done what you said, after reboot i reconnected the adapter and it done the connected sound then the 3 quick deep beep sound don't know what that means, and then popped up and said driver unsuccessfully installed.

Everytime i troubleshoot or plug it in i get those 3 beeps and right after the beeps it says no driver found. It will start to install the driver then the 3 beeps and then it says it can't find a driver.

OK I have read through the whole of this thread and no where have I seen the model number from the actual device?

Could the OP please confirm the actual model number of the device.

Also due to Belkin manufacturing policy (they use more than one firmware/hardware supplier without changing the model number ) can you also provide the FCC ID from the unit (This does change on each hardware change)

 

[iBanksy]

ok on the back of the device it says:

Device: Belkin High-Speed Mode Wireless G USB Network Adatper
FCC ID: K7SF5D7051
Model no.: F5D7051 P10650-B

All my searched lead to this page with belkin ...

Belkin : Support : Wireless High Speed Mode USB Adapter : F5D7051

The only drivers I can find are stated for 32 bit Vista here ....

Belkin : Support : F5D7051 Driver

However looking at the actual download file this does include the x64 bit tag

Hopefully this will do the trick

With Belkin products in the past I have found that the download will create a folder on the c: drive in the form of C:\belkin\drivers ....

To install remove the adaptor and any existing drivers (in Device manager and make sure you select the remove files option) ..
Re insert the adaptor and choose to manually install the drivers - point the selection box to the C:\belkin folder and let the install complete

It is normally best to then restart the pc

Hopefully this will also work in your case

Ok i installed the driver, and then plugged it in, and it started picking up some wireless networks but at very low signal and i couldn't connect to any of them. So like you said i restarted the computer and when i logged back in its not working and isn't picking anything up. I go to the network and sharing setting and the adapter says "disabled" and i try enable it and it doesn't do anything.

Edit i restarted it again and i can now again pick up some wireless signals and i am connected to my main one. I was on internet for like 1-2 mins and it has disconnected again and now i can't get back on it, i ran a Wdinows Network Diagnostics and i got that 3 quick deep beeps again and it says network adapter is expericing some problems. and it tells me to plug a Ethernet cable in which defeats the object. Now the connections totally lost and i can't pick anything up and everythings disabled and disconnected.

Also the device is still flashing but not picking anything up.

More annoyed now after i gave up as nothing seems to be working i was going to downgrade to vista, yet i can't as it says not device driver found so i can't install vista either, now my computer is pretty much usless atm.

 

[Barman58]

Yes this is annoying - have you contacted Belkin support directly on this matter? - I have dealt with them on issues previously and always found them extremely helpful - they offer a lifetime warranty on all their devices so it is in their interest to ensure that support is up to the mark.

back to the original issue though ..

when installing the last time did you remove the old files as I suggested? this is normally an essential with network driver install.

One other thing that may or may not help is the actual port that the device is plugged into - Not all USB ports are created equal and a change of port can occasionally make all the difference. I did not suggest this earlier as I am assuming that you are using the same port that worked previously with vista

 

[iBanksy]

i thought i got it working then, i was using it for like 45 mins and again it disconnected and now i can't pick anything up i am getting so annoyed, and even more annoyed that i can't downgrade to vista.

Edit:
I switched the usbs around i had my iphone plugged in aswell and its now connected to the internet again, but i can't hope it will stay like that for long...

USB adapter disconnects after computer standby

cant seem to find my same problem occuring in the forum....
new computer, windows 7.
installed (online) Belkin driver (most recent I guess) and its working great, but.....
after I come back to computer and "wake it up" out of sleep, the Belkin shows no connectivity. Not really a problem but theres isnt a fast/easy way to get it reconnected other than "troublshoot" which will go through checks and then 'reset' the adapter and al is fixed. With XP i just right clicked and re-connected or refreshed or something that was quick and painless.


Any settings adjustment anywhere to keep USB adapter connected all the time?

Hate to tell you this but I have 3 of the belkin usb adapters gathering dust because I can not get them working properly. Some folks have, depending upon the chipset that belkin used. Some have ESL, Ralink, etc.
I just loaded up a linksys usb adapter and haven't had any problems.

Hi

I found a resolution for myself somewhere on different site

Basically I've uninstalled the anti virus protection, and restarted computer, installed the USB wireless Adapter and Installed the Anti virus and all works perfect.

Hope this helps you and good luck
