Belkin Wireless G Notebook Card F5D7010

...again properly and saw the Belkin routers which were for if you had a broadband connection but wanted Wireless now this sounded a bit more like it. I paid £49.99 and then rushed home to try it out hopefully not having to return again as that would be embarrassing. Everything is neatly packed there's an installation disc, the actual router, an adapter and some modem cables. The box clearly states not to touch any cables and start plugging them in ...
...choose a wireless connection my Belkin titled connection appeared and it said connected so it seemed to be working fine. I had to enter my password just to prove that it was me who had set up the connection. I double clicked Internet Explorer and I was greeted with a homepage, now for me I have never had internet access before on my laptop so I was all excited that I could access internet from any room in the house and no longer be stuck at my PC ...

Review of Belkin Wireless G Notebook Card F5D7010

...but the fact that the Belkin networking system is wireless means that we can do the following: -Use the same connection and printer even when in different buildings -Use the laptop without any wires (when running off batteries) we can even use it in the back garden. Our laptop is not totally portable. No internet cables. -Use both computers in the same room using the same printer and same connection This is incredibly convenient for us and would ...
...AND THE COST This is easy peasy. All you do with the card is pop it into your laptop (see how small it is!?!) this is really easy to do, you just slide the disc in. Simple as that. However, you also need a wireless networking router. This acts as the transmitter, the 'middle man' between the networking card and the PC. All it does it pick up the internet connection and other info and send it to the card which is plugged into the other computer. ...

Review of Belkin Wireless G Notebook Card F5D7010

ARGH!!!!! This Belkin Wireless Networking Card promised so much and delivered so very little! For those of you who are not aware of exactly what this is - it's a card which plugs into a laptop, so that the laptop can use the broadband internet of another computer within the same house/office etc. Essentially it allows you to have portable, wireless internet anywhere in your home, without having to pay for 2 internet connections. Is this a good ...
...a combined package with the Belkin Wireless Modem/Router for around £80. Having looked around all over the place I thought this was a fair price, and concluded that the usefulness would far outweigh the initial cost. However, I was sadly very mistaken. The wireless router has to date been absolutely fine. But the card just hasn't been good enough for my use. If you are planning to have your wireless internet connection in the same room (or maybe ...

Review of Belkin Wireless G Notebook Card F5D7010

...Card variant. I chose the Belkin F5D7010 as it was cheaper than the other branded rivals, and I could pick it up from my local Argos that day (We have no decent computer shops round here). Installation was a little different to the supplied instructions and I found it important to follow the installation program. Also when using XP you need to select the option to use the built in XP configuration software if you intend to use WPA security as only ...
...be a mojor problem as Belkin don't make any drivers for Linux (infact Broadcom who make the chipset in the card don't make any reference drivers either). Luckily it is possible to use a program called NDISWrapper to load the windows drivers under Linux. These provided a working configuration with WEP security. There is an addon to NDISWrapper that should allow WPA security but I didn't go as far as running that. Overall the Belkin F5D7010UK PC Card ...

Review of Belkin Wireless G Notebook Card F5D7010

I bought this wireless card because my wireless USB stick got snapped out of the back and stopped working. The installation was pretty straight forward, I took out the CD, installed the drivers, and plugged the card in, and it worked straight away! I didn't have to switch places to get a better signal strength, and there was no problem picking up my wireless router. After using this product for a couple of weeks, there has been no problems. I don't ...
...USB stick, and it is out of the way. Also it doesn't block any of the other ports on my computer. With my USB stick, is was so chunky that I could only fit it in the bottom port, because it was obstructing the power cable from connecting to my laptop. Also I couldn't fit any other USB devices in the remaining slot. I have not had any problems like that with this PCMCIA card. Also it only heats up a very small amount. My USB stick used to be hot enough ...

Review of Belkin Wireless G Notebook Card F5D7010

Bought for £30 at my local computer shop, this wireless card has very much become value for money for my laptop. With the need to work privately this card is recommended to eliminate the need for wires to and from various network points. The ease and lack of difficulties in using it is a top advantage for anyone looking to buy one. The overall set-up was good although the initial configuration was a little difficult in relation to network passwords,etc. ...

...on NTL broadband with the Belkin wireless g desktop card adapter. The installation was quick and painless and the instructions simple and clear. The signal strength was frequently poor with the connection running slow the majority of the time The connection was also very unstable with frequent periods where the connection was lost or broken. Im not sure if this was down to the card the router or a combination of both. The box states that this ...
...be slow and quite a lot of trouble with an unreliable connection being sent/picked up. I would recommend going for a higher spec router and a usb adapter to anyone setting up a wireless network as this cheap alternative is just that and you will know everytime you connect (or not) to the internet using it. ...
