Belkin F5D9050 wireless

right, i know this strictly doesn't come under Airport express BUT i cant see anywhere to help what i think is very helpful information.
Okay here we go. My G5 powermac doesn't have wireless, the only option was a Airport express with bluetooth adaptor thing, would cost £120 but is no longer available to buy or have installed by apple.
So begun the huge task of trying to find a way to make my G5 wireless.
right now here is the important factor. If you want a USB wireless adaptor that works without any messing around buy a BELKIN F5D9050 WIRELESS USB ADAPTOR.
The usb comes in numerous versions, none of which work straight off the bat with a mac, you need to download the driver for it from belkin's website. MY USB was a Version3000, according to Belkin the driver to allow the F5D9050 is only compatible with Version 4000 models. THIS IS RUBBISH. despite what they said i downloaded the driver, installed it and TADA! surfing the web.
Any questions, any problems finding the driver, email - [email protected] and ill be happy to help.
Hopefully this will save people time in future.

    Hi, Jake. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    It's possible that your AirPort card has fizzled out on you. AirPort card failure doesn't happen very often, but it happened to me once, and it was very frustrating.
    We diagnosed what was wrong with mine by my husband swapping his AirPort card with mine. Then my iBook would connect, but his wouldn't, so we knew it was the card.
    Will the iBook work on any wireless network? Do you have someone with whom you could swap cards to see if that's the problem?
    Possible sources for replacing the original AirPort card (links last checked 8/19/07):

    Have you tried using the other USB port? If neither port works, try plugging in a USB mouse to see if it works to confirm that your USB ports aren't damaged.
    Have you installed any new software? Maybe a Security Update or something similar? Sometimes that will break functionality of third-party drivers.
    You may need to go to the website of the manufacturer of the USB wireless device to see if an updated driver is available.

    When did you buy it, Jake?
    There is a driver that was released on June 19, 2007.
    http://www.belkin.com/support/article/?lid=en&pid=F5D9050&aid=5925&scid=0
    Even if this is the one you have installed, you may want to reinstall it.

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Since Jake hasn't posted in over two months, either that driver worked for him, he found the answer elsewhere, or he gave up. Since he hasn't posted back, we have no way of knowing.
    What model computer do you have?

    Since you're running Leopard, I surmise that your iMac takes the AirPort Extreme card?
    May I ask why you don't just get one of those? As I post this, the Apple Store has a refurbished one for $29.00.

    I am not running Leopard... using 10.4 and I already own the product. It is suppose to work and there is no reason to purchase another unit. All I need to understand is how to make the IMac recognize the USB device or how to configure the unit. Others have stated in this and other forums that they have used this unit with success.
    Thanks for address this specific issue.

    Your specifications at the bottom of your post state that you're running Mac OS X 10.5.1?
    You may want to post in the Internet and Networking your iMac (Flat Panel) Forum. Maybe someone there can help you out. (You've posted in the iBook G3 Forum.)

    I am using a laptop to connect to the internet not the machine that I am writing about. If I could do that I would not need any help. I will check out the other forum but this thread is on topic.
    Mac OS X (10.5.1)

    The information in your thread references an iBook quite a lot but the title of this post says iMac so I going to assume that you are trying to use this device with an iMac.
    It is also unclear what version of the Mac OS you are using.
    Let's start by stating the fact that these USB networking networking devices are not inherently supported by the Mac OS. Therefore they need drivers. These drivers are usually fragile and only work with a well defined version (or versions) of the Mac OS. Anytime that you make any upgrade to the Mac you are able to create an incompatibility with the driver and the device.
    The Belkin F5D9050 does have some Mac OS drivers available at this link.
    You should uninstall/remove the current driver for this device.
    Restart your iMac.
    Download and install the appropriate driver for the version of Mac OS on your iMac.
    Restart your iMac.
    If that doesn't work, either get the original AirPort card for the internal wireless slot in the iMac or get an Ethernet wireless adapter. An Ethernet wireless adapter requires no drivers and therefore will work with any Ethernet device.

  • Macbook Pro can connect to Belkin N1 wireless, and says ISP and everything is fine, but I cannot seem to access the internet?

    Hey everyone, I've been experiencing this problem for a very long time, my Macbook Pro has a lot of trouble connecting to my Belkin N1 wireless, however, when I sit far away from the router I seem to be able to connect and use the internet, though I have a lot of 'System Timeout' and have to reboot my wireless. After we moved houses, my room is extremely near the wireless, and before the Belkin was formatted with a password, I was able to use the internet without a problem. However, now I can connect to the wireless, and Network Diagnostics tells me that everything is good to go, however, I just can't seem to use the internet. No pages will load, I've tried everything changing proxies, looking through my security certificates and tried using IP addresses instea of website names and nothing seems to work.
    I've gone to the store and have always been dismissed, with the excuse that Belkin is just not compatible my Macbook. I'm not technologically savvy, but I can follow instructions.
    Thank you in advance!

    Hello blinchikis. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Which Belkin model do you have? Are you running wireless encyption, WEP or WPA? If so, if you temporarily disable encryption, can you connect your iBook to the Internet now? How about if you connect your iBook, directly using an Ethernet cable?

  • IPod Touch (and iPhone) can't find Belkin N Wireless Router

    I spent over an hour looking for an answer to this problem today and accidently found a solution - so am posting the answer.
    Have a 2 year old Belkin N Wireless Router (model F5D8236-4v1) with SSID broadcasting on and WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK) security selected.
    All the Windows laptops in the house could see the wireless SSID and could successfully log in after entering the WPA/WPA2 password.
    Both iPod Touch and iPhone 3GS could NOT see the SSID. Also entering the wireless router IP address directly instead of the SSID did NOT work.
    After an hour of looking for solutions on-line, including:
    - Tried no security
    - Tried WEP 64 and 128 bit security
    then stumbled across a thread in a forum where someone referred to changing a "-" (dash) in an SSID name to a character. So tried this.
    The old SSID name includes spaces - "name name1 name2". I deleted the spaces, and the problem was solved.
    This Belkin router comes with a default name of BelkinN_WirelessXXXXXX, but does not say in the online help to NOT use spaces in the SSID name. And again, the Windows laptops could see the wireless Router while it had the SSID name INCLUDING the spaces in the name.
    Hope this saves at least one person going through the same wasted hour.

    Click on the blue arrow to the right of the network name, if IP address starts with "169." ,restart your router. It should connect properly after your router reboots in a minute or two.

    Thank you BGreg.  That is what I have been doing, and then it works just fine.  I think it was doing the same thing in the previous version of Lion.  I may be incorrect about that.  I upgraded to 10.7.3 a few weeks ago, and then last week I reloaded the combo update, hoping it would help.  Not so.  Thank you for letting me know it is a common problem.  I have tried permissions in Disk Utilities, and in Macaroni, both at least 4 times, plus numerous restarts.  Nothing Improves.  It still can not find the internet when it wakes up or gets up.

  • How to use Airport Express to extend range in conjunction with Belkin N Wireless Router

    I would like to know how I can extend the range of my Belkin N1 Wireless Router using the the Apple Airport Express? I saw a similar post to this question but the results talk about using this in conjunction with time capsule - I only have a Belkin router and the Airport Express.
    If so, can someone help me to find out which settings/configuration I need to set of my Router and Airport Express in order the extend the range of my network.
    Thank you in advance for your support.

    Thank you for your quick reply. Can you please expand upon how to set up the 'bridge' mode?
    I tried connecting the AE via Ethernet from the Belkin router but was not successful in being able to get any additional coverage. I feel like I am missing a vital set of instructions with set-up/configuration details.
    Thanks again.

  • Belkin N1 Wireless Router

    Just got a Belkin N1 Wireless Router. Will be setting it up tomorrow. Anyone who has done this, if you ran into trouble or special situations, please advise. Thanks

    Hi Mike,
    I just got the Belkin N1 about a week and a half ago. I plugged it in and got online immediately. Yesterday, unfortunately, it kept losing the connection to the internet. No matter how many times I rebooted the computer, cable modem and router, it would not keep the connection for very long. I have no idea what the problem is. I plugged in my old Netgear and it worked right off the bat and keeps the connection, so I am guessing the problem lies with the Belkin.

  • Airport Express with Belkin N1 Wireless Router

    I saw Airport Express and am very interested to buy this. However, before I proceed to buy, it would want to see if it can work with my Belkin N1 Wireless Router and how.
    Preferred setup is
    DSL Modem <-> Airport Express <-> Belkin N1 Wireless <-> Laptop
    Can anyone advise
    1. Can Airport work with Belkin N1 Wireless Router?
    2. How do i setup the above configuration?
    If this can work, I'm going to get one immediately!! =D

    Welcome to the discussions, Richard!
    Preferred setup is
    DSL Modem <-> Airport Express <-> Belkin N1 Wireless <-> Laptop
    The <-> is normally a display for an ethernet connection. The AirPort Express only has one ethernet port, and it will be used to connect to the DSL modem in your example.
    So, it would not be possible to connect the Belkin device the AirPort Express using <-> ethernet.

  • Belkin USB wireless adaptor drivers

    Does anyone know where I can get a driver for the belkin usb wireless adaptor? The one listed on their website only works with OSX 10.3 and not 10.4 installed on this machine? do apple provide any third party drivers for this problem? The machine is out of its applecare period so I can't ask apple themselves.
    Thanks
    Jon

    If Belkin doesn't have a driver compatible with 10.4 you're out of luck. Apple does not provide drivers for third party hardware.

  • Belkin YourType Wireless Keypad won't connect

    Belkin YourType WIRELESS KEYPAD (2015)
    Mac Pro 1.1
    Lion 10.7.5
    Apple Wireless Keyboard/Magic Trackpad
    I have just purchased Belkin's wireless keypad but can't complete the pairing process.
    The device is recognised but I am unable to enter the displayed passcode as the keypad won't respond to any keystrokes. When pairing my wireless keyboard, the first passcode number was highlighted but the Keypad's passcode display does not show this. I have tried using 'Passcode Options' route, entering the passcode using the Wireless keyboard, without any success. I've tried the numbers lock but as keypad in responding at all I'm unsure what state the keypad is in. I've tried rebooting computer, re-inserting batteries... also holding power button untill passcode stage of pairing (which I used successfully when pairing Apple wireless keyboard).
    Any other work-around suggestions?
    Thanks

    Thanks Barry.
    I have contacted Belkin as you suggested, but after trying various combinations to connect I got the same result. The Belkin tech concluded the unit itself was faulty. I have exchanged it for another keypad at the Apple store but I'm getting the exact same problem. 
    Just to clarify what I am experiencing when trying to connect.
    The pairing screen shown in Belkin's user instruction has a 'Pair' button which when clicked on will make the connection without the need for a passcode. My setup is different in that it does request a Passcode. When pairing Apple's Wireless Keyboard I was able to activate the code successfully, but with the Keypad the Passcode page seems inactive with all buttons greyed out - although by pressing the 'enter' key it takes me to the previous 'search for device' page.
    The Keypad is the perfect addition to my studio setup, but perhaps it is not compatible with my setup.
    Has anyone been successful in hooking up to a Mac Pro 1.1 OS X 10.7.5?

  • IMac bELKIN n1 Wireless connection impossible in WEP or WPA! Help

    I bought a Belkin N1 wireless router and it works fine with my old PowerBook G4 but not with my new iMac in WEP or WPA mode (without password it is OK). I’ve been told to put a $ before the password but it still does not work!
    Do you have any idea?
    Thanks

    Hi Dave,
    I haven't seen anybody able to use WPA with ICS yet, Mac to Mac anyway, and only WEP as of recent.
    ASCII passwords may need to be enclosed in quote marks, (or maybe that's been fixed!?

  • Can I use a Belkin F6D4050 wireless USB adapter with my Airport Extreme?

    I received a freebie Belkin wireless adapter a little while back. Am now trying to use it to connect a device to my existing Airport Extreme wireless home network. Am having some problems and wonder if it is my device (I think it should work with the device, though), or possibly with the Airport.
    I may already have my answer (...no?), but am a bit illiterate with wireless. My Airport is using WPA2, and is 802.11n. My adapter says it works with WPA2, but only lists 802.11g and 802.11b.
    Any thoughts are appreciated.

    I cannot say for sure if the g/b vs n is the cause, but if all other devices like the AE and that one device does not, you go with the odds.  Others will have to chime-in on that.
    And I recommend NetGear (not necessarily *above* LinkSys) because my 3-year-old NetGear router has been serving my MBP fine for 3 months ... no glitches.

    Yes it will work just fine. I sell and set them up quite a bit with both PC's and Macs.
    All N routers at the moment are all based on draft N protocol, even Apple's own Airport routers. So the Belkin N+ will work at N speeds if you set it to N mode only. Ofcourse for broad compatibility with all sorts of WiFi devices it is best to leave it in mixed mode.
    For some background, i have used all sorts of makes of routers from Compaq/TrendNet (favourite)/Microsoft/Netgear (current favourite)/Dlink...and so on over the years, NOT any issues.
    Apple's Airport extreme base stations (which are still draft N) aren't any more compatible than a Netgear or Belkin N router.

  • Belkin Surf Wireless Router / Modem

    Just bought a Belkin Surf N150 Wireless Modem Router and discovered that my Curve 8520 won't connect to it - tried all processes.
    Can I make any alterations to the router to make it work?
    Can I make any alterations to the Curve to make it work?
    Do I have to buy a different router and if so, what one works?
    Thanks

    The AirPort Expess (802.11n version) could be configured to "join" the Belkin wireless network using wireless only and then provide an Ethernet signal to the AirPort Extreme. As I said before, this is a bit goofy, but it will work.
    The weak point of this type of setup is that everything going through the AirPort Extreme will depend on a wireless "hop" back to your Bellkin router. Wireless can pick up interference, suffer slow downs, drop outs etc. as you are well aware. If you are planning to stream high definition video, wireless would be your last choice.
    For about the same cost as an AirPort Extreme, I would suggest a pair of Ethernet powerline adapters to establish an Ethernet connection between the Belkin and the Airport Extreme. Reason...you'll have a better, more reliable connection.
    In order of connection quality, the order would look like this:
    Ethernet cable
    Powerline
    Wireless
    It's up to you.
