1Worst tech support I've ever encounteredJul 10, 2007
By Fed up with Belkin "Fed up with Belkin"
The drivers for this card are clearly not fully compatable with Windows XP. With both my original card and a replacement sent by Belkin, the operating system repeatedly crashed. Belkin tech support has been the worst I have seen in over 20 years of owning PCs.

If I ever get this working, I'll consider amending this review, but I don't have high hopes. I've had it for 7 months, updated the drivers each time a new set has been posted. Belkin assured me from my first call that there were no problems with their drivers, but they have put out two new sets of drivers since then. Why redo something with no problems? Now they have come out with a version 2000 card to replace the version 1000 card. There are no enhancements with the new version, so why replace the old one? Seem like the only reason is that the version 1000 cards weren't consistantly working. Belkin denies it, but offers no explanation for why there is a new version. And the version 1000 cards are still being sold and shipped by Belkin as replacement parts.

1GarbageJul 19, 2007
By G. Curkendall
I bought the F5D8001 from a Frys store last night. I picked it over the competing Linksys and Netgear cards because it was $10-20 cheaper and it's antenna is more compact.
What a mistake.
When I opened the box and removed the antenna, the first thing I noticed was how short the wire is. In fact, the wire is barely long enough for me to run it from my computer to a windowsill directly above the computer.
Secondly, the connector for hooking the antenna up to the card gives no indication of whether or not it is firmly connected. The connector simply slides over some threaded posts, as opposed to other brands using connectors that screw on until firmly seated.
Third, when I placed the antenna and tilted the three small antenna masts, one of the plastic hinges broke, leaving the mast hanging from the wire inside.
Lastly, the range is awful. It is slightly worse than the 80211 G PC card I have for my laptop, when placed in the same spot.
Bottom line: What a piece of junk. I'll be returning it when I get a chance.

1Avoid this productJun 20, 2007
By Disappointed
I bought this card along with a HP tower with Vista. After following the installation instructions, when the computer should have gone to the new hardware wizard, it instead freaked out and scrambled the screen -- over and over and over again. After after hours on the phone with Belkin I got nowhere. I then put it in my Gateway tower with Home XP. It came right up and works -- but not well. The thing actually interferes with Itunes (yes I know it sounds strange). I'm not playing these songs over the wirelss either, they are on the same tower! The music will slow down in spots and it gets a crackling sound and feedback over the speakers. Turn off the card and it all goes away. Find something else!

1Crap!!!Mar 10, 2010
By Virginia Reynolds "Krimsin.Angel"
Only notifications when opening box was, not compatible with Vista. No mention of Windows 7 in the least. When unable to connect to internet, called Belkin. Their response: Do you have the original driver disk? After being put on hold, the "tech support" department realizes that this is not compatible with Windows 7. I asked if they were planning on getting drivers updated for Windows 7 and the response was, this product is not compatible with Windows 7. Not only am I sorely disappointed (this is my first problem I have ever had with any Belkin product) but I am disgusted that when I pressed one for English, the guy on the other end of the line couldn't understand a simple question about what the developers were putting together for all of us that either did not try Vista and went straight to 7 or used Vista for all of 2 months and said, WTF is this and upgraded to Windows 7. At this point, I'm really considering sending all Belkin products back to India postage due.

1Horrible Product All AroundNov 23, 2009
By Bryceman
Horrible product all around. The antenna connector is very poorly designed and has fallen off a couple of times. The drivers are HORRIBLE. About every third reboot, I have to remove the card from within Device Manager and let the driver reinstall itself. The speed is fast, the price was cheap... and it's complete garbage. Recently upgraded to 64 bit... and haven't found any way to get this card to work.
