Digital camera reviews of Belkin F5D5050 USB to 10/100 Ethernet Adaptor - Networking
Digital camera Review: Great if you don't want to open up your computer to install a NIC card.
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a similar USB NIC card that died. I repaced it with this one and am very pleased. These things are hard to find, but of course I found it on Amazon!Digital camera Review: Great item for outdated computer
Summary: 5 Stars
This adaptor allowed me to hook up my old computer with no ethernet card to a router along with my newer computer with one. It has performed flawlessly so far. I had one a few years back and it also was fine till I dropped it onto a concrete floor. It didn't fare too well, but I suppose I wouldn't either.Digital camera Review: Great networking alternative, works with XP and 2003
Summary: 5 Stars
I required a second network card to setup a multihomed server using Windows 2003. Since I was out of PCI slots on my server this adapter was a definitive blessing; it is also an excellent alternative for laptop users and for people who don't feel comfortable opening their computer cases. The adapter's cable length is about a foot 1/2 long, which I think is adequate for most people; it also has a power LED which also serves as a network status indicator. I also tested the adapter with Windows XP and did not require the CD to set it up (Windows 2003 did require the CD).
Note:
If you install this adapter with your system powered on, you will get an error message indicating a problem starting the device, this is normal and will go out after restarting.
So far, performance has been consistent and it has been 100% stable.
I hope that my review helps in evaluating this device.
Digital camera Review: Great with my TIVO
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought to connect my TIVO to my home network. It works great. Installed and connected without any issues. Previously used a Linksys WUSB12 that quit working. For a wired network connection I would highly recommend.Digital camera Review: I bought this to Network my Tivo
Summary: 4 Stars
And network my Tivo I did. It worked right out the box without any problems at all - Tivo recognized it immediately.
Would have got 5 stars, but I do feel that the price point for this "brand" device is excessive now that USB is a very mature technology.
Incidentally, I bought a $6 + $2 shipping non-branded device from ebay which works perfectly with a colleague's Tivo.
