Digital camera reviews of Belkin F5D5050 USB to 10/100 Ethernet Adaptor - Networking
Digital camera Review: Does not work with Vista X64
Summary: 1 Stars
This device does not work with Vista x64. You can download driver for Vista x32 from Belkin's website, but no driver for Vista x64.Digital camera Review: Does not work with xp
Summary: 2 Stars
Firstly, it says 10/100 mbps but its a 1.1 usb adapter and not usb 2.0 which
means you can get no more than theoritical 12 mbps. This is no big deal
as most dsl and cable broadband have around the same bandwidth ranging from
2mbps to 12 mbps.
No way you can get 100 mbps in your home network.
Will be slower than wireless g speed.
Specifying 100 mbps in 10/100 mbps is very misleading.
I tried installing the device on windows xp sp2.build 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.
Next its not plug and play on windows xp. You plug it in and the
internal speaker bell keeps beeping non stop.
On vista 32 bit it recognised this as Belkin nework
adapter and was plug and play.
After the driver was installed, it did light up the device and worked.
On windows xp, the plugged in USB just keeps ringing the internal speaker bell every 2 seconds
with or without no driver installed. No light appears
on the device.
I tried installing the driver that came with the cd.
It wrongly recognises it as 'bluetooth lan access server driver'.
I went into control panel,<system>, devices uninstalled it.
Then went through the "add/remove hardware wizard" and tried to
add it. No luck it updated a driver 'AN986 usb to fast Ethernet adapter"
which was useless. A waste of time.
I disabled all ethernet devices i.e. the built in an on my compaq laptop.Also the wifi and the
bluetooth dongle and went through the above install doing the song and dance
routine of <add hardware wizard>... install from disk.. No luck .
I thought this problem was specific to my compaq dell laptop with xp. Tried installing the device on ACer laptop with windows xp
of my friends and well the same problem or internal speaker bell keeps ringing for no reason when the device is plugged in. The plug and play was activating
the bell like ti ting ti ting ta ta ta. Not sure if i wanted my laptop as
a dance partner .
I am dissatisfied. Not worth the trouble in todays age of plug n and play.
I guess it might work in win2000 or win2003 or vista 32bit as per the reviews. Not sure how
it can work on windows xp. Worst experience.
spent hours.
The setup file on the cd for belkin Usb has a driver file dt. sep 26 2001
on cd. (8 years ago), The drivers on the web site for file NET8511 that contains setup information for this device was dated 11/8/2006. (3 years)
Was unsuccessful in it recognising the belkin correctly with both drivers
.
No luck and a total waste of time. spent hours and not worth the trouble
in todays plug and play age of software.
Returning the same.
Digital camera Review: Easy Fix For Broken Ethernet Port
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this product because my laptop's ethernet port was slowly dying and causing an error message of "network cable is unplugged" to appear at regularly annoying intervals. This product was easy to install and has allowed me to subvert the problem much more cheaply than getting the port fixed, without causing a noticeable change in connection speed.Digital camera Review: Easy and Convenient
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is simply great no need to install pci card to connect to a network just plug and playDigital camera Review: Easy solution to messy problem
Summary: 5 Stars
I have several Macintosh computers, all of which had their Ethernet connection damaged by an electrical surge from a lightning bolt which hit next door. On iMacs and iBooks, for all their many virtues, replacing the Ethernet jack and board is an expensive proposition. The Belkin F5D5050 adapter allowed me to bypass all that by using USB (which fortunately still worked fine). The Belkin CD did not contain a driver for Mac OSX, so I obtained a free Pegusus driver from Sustainable Softworks online. Bought one F5D5050 from Amazon to be sure it was a good solution to this issue and now I have ordered two more. I like the product and Amazon delivers fast, so I guess that says it all!
