Belkin Wireless G USB Network Adapter Reviews

At £13, what could go wrong. This dongle does exactly what it says on the tin. Mine worked plug-and-play, but it was supplied with a disk with install files. I have only ever used it with a belkin wireless-G router, and it picks up the signal very well. It is not as strong as some more expensive dongles for receiving signal, but if you ...  Read the complete review

I had used inbuilt wireless in my laptop (an HP Pavillion tx1000, that I have also reviewed) for two and a half years, until my internal wireless failed and couldn't be easily replaced. I decided to buy an external USB wireless adapter to solve my internet problems, and chose the Belkin Wireless G USB adapter, as other members of my family use ...  Read the complete review

I bought this product after finding it almost impossible to connect my desktop to my laptop and share the internet connection. The setup was really straightforward and easy to follow. Once setup connecting to a network was a doddle and was quick also. Now the annoyances... For some reason when turning on my desktop with the ...  Read the complete review

When I moved into my current house, there was no upstairs telephone point, which meant I had to plug my wireless router into the phone socket downstairs. This was a problem, as my PC doesn't have a wireless card, so to connect it to the internet, I had to either set up my PC in the living room (which I don't like), or go through the hassle of ...  Read the complete review

This little wireless adapter is designed to plug right into laptop of pc's usb ports so that it enables them to be wireless and therefore can pick up a signal from a network. This can plug into your pc or laptop 2 different ways, firstly it can plug in much like a usb memory stick and just the stick itself can go straight into a usb port on ...  Read the complete review

The F5D7050 works perfectly under Linux using ndiswrapper (haven't looked into its native module support). I ran a flood ping to my Acess Point with no packet losses, very nice. As a comparison I could not get my Netgear WG111 to work 100% under Linux with either native module or ndiswrapper. Can't speak for Windows though.

This pen's software is awful. Really awful. It made online gaming extremely laggy and impossible to play and it kept dropping constantly. On the verge of throwing this out I went onto the Internet to read more about it only to find someone saying to delete the belkin software and just use the Windows connection. So I did this and now it ...  Read the complete review

I bought it in 2007. Two problems:1) it requires Windows Zero Configuration to connect;2) it frequently disconnects. This is a problem with the unit as pulliing out and reinserting the adapters usually reestablished the connection. I am not happy and will replace it with another (not belkin) adapter.

This review is of course connected (ouch for the pun) to my last review which was about a wireless router. I posted an earlier, inferior version of this review last year on Ciao (under my Ciao name, paulhanton), but have since updated it somewhat for Dooyou, not least as I have become better at writing reviews since then (I hope, you ...  Read the complete review

I bought this adapter when I found out that my PC did not have wireless capabilities and that my router dis not come with an adapter. It took only about five minutes to set up and required hardly any input from me. The instructions provided with the product were easy to follow and the CD needed to install the adapter was simple and ...  Read the complete review

I just uninstalled a D Link 120+ USB WLAN card which I thought MAY have been the cause of the WLAN signal dropping out. My Belkin G+ USB WLAN adapter was bought about a year ago at least and has served me well. Once it was installed on my desktop (after the D Link 120+ had been uninstalled), the speed increased and the signal was rock ...  Read the complete review

I bought this USB network adaptor for my son when he still had his Windows 98 machine as the PCI card that I reviewed previously was too advanced for his hardware. This USB adapter was bought to connect to my Belkin wireless router meaning that I now had a wireless network consisting only of Belkin hardware. --Whats in the ...  Read the complete review
