Hi,



I have bought the Belkin F5D7000UK V700 installed it with the drivers from Belkins web site worked for about 11Mins then cut then worked for 2hours then cut out again I removed it and renstalled it with the drivers from the cd still no luke I have been reading the reivews on this card and there seems to be quite a few problems with the drivers for this card they say that I should ues the Ralink RT2500 because that is the chipset on the card I also downloaded them for Ralinks web site installed them get a error saying that no Ralink card is found in the pc.




I Would be very great full if someone could advise me on what I can do to fix this.

I never had a problem with mine, but Belkin have a free tech line number you can use to get them to help set it up.

Well there's nothing wrong with your PC spec - I can only think its a driver conflict of some sort

Hi,

Do you think there is some thing worng with the mother baord. I have check Gigabytes website and I am using the latest drivers for that board.


Many Thanks,

wizkid

This is still ongoing problem.

Wireless card keeps dropping out and will not find any network the card works fine in other computers I contacted Gigabyte and they told me to send the baord back to them does any one think it is the board that could be faulty?

Hi Guys,

This problem seems to be fixed now.

Sent mother board back to Gigabyte they tried it with one of there cards and said it was ok so I bought one of there cards and everything seems to be ok now this issue has been going on for months now and its good to get to the bottom of it.
