With That, I went with the "Belkin F5D5050 USB Ethernet Adaptor" and it worked like a Charm. My 2003 Dell Inspiron 8200 has seen its better days, but it is still Kicken. My Router, connected thru the "Belkin F5D5050 USB Ethernet Adaptor" has been running fine for weeks now. I just Plugged it in and Windows XP found it and ran the setup wizard. Both exspansion slots, the ethernet port, the Disc Drive & the floppy drive are all Broke. My only access to the outside world is (2) USB ports and I needed to install a Wireless G Router which required an Eternet Port.
we purchased this because of the ease of it and were very please, plus is priced right we had the original Tivo adaptor and it wouldn't connect properly to download info.
I just plugged it in, then Windows XP found the driver, and off it ran. The Belkin adapter worked flawlessly.
My laptop recognized the manufacturer instantly and created drivers without me having to open the wizard. There is a little bit eyestrain involved in locating the correct driver update, but once you've found it, downloading is a snap.The adapter did precisely what I purchased it to do, and for general purposes it works much better than the setup I was using before, which is a nice bonus. I needed an ethernet adapter in order to log on to an employer's network from home, because their server could not read my DHCP with the cable I was using. One thing to note is that the drivers that automatically install are for Windows XP, but this model does have an update available to make it compliant with Vista, you just have to download it from Belkin's website. I'm very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to others looking for an adapter for similar reasons. The Belkin F5D5050 was among those recommended for this purpose.I used Super Saver shipping and received the Belkin in the mail much sooner than I was expecting, as it shipped the very next day after I ordered it (way to go Amazon). The item was in perfect condition in packaging that was easy to unwrap.Setting up the adapter was as simple as plugging it into a USB port and hooking it up to the router.
24 and no charger. I would like to write a good review for the battery charger but I can't because I don't have it. Why on earth would someone ship a small item costing more than $350 by ground USPS. The USPS says I should have it by October 14. I ordered it on Sept. 18 and it is now Sept.
