Hi
I have the above unit model F5d7050.

I can plug it into my Windows7 tower and it downloads the drivers and works fine.

However I dont want it for that machine I want it for a tower running XP.......I plug it in drivers down load but reports no networks available.I have checked device manager etc etc all ok.
Belkin "chat support" have tried and failed anyone out there with any ideas.
I have also tried Belkins own bespoke driver but no joy.
Any ideas?????????

Do you have the latest Windows XP service pack installed?

Also, I'd strongly recommend you ditch Windows XP for something like Windows 7 or Windows 8.

Have a look here and make sure you download the correct driver (FCC ID).

Older versions of XP don't support some of the wireless encryption protocols such as WPA2.

Update your XP up to SP3 if it isn't already.

That's why I suggested making sure he's got the latest service pack for Windows XP or upgrade to a newer Windows version.
