Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Belkin F5D5050 USB to 10/100 Ethernet Adaptor - Networking
Customer Review: Won't let other computers work on my network
Summary: 1 Stars
To get it to work I have to pull the ethernet cables on all my other computers on the router. Then I connect it and reset the modem. It works then. But if I reconnect all the other computers, none of them get access. It's either the computer connected to the adapter or the other computers. Of course to get the other computers to work again I have to disconnect the Cisco adapter reconnect the other computers and then reset the modem again. This is pretty inconvenient. I tried this with another modem and got the same results. Also, I bought a Cisco Linksys USB300M Ethernet Adapter and got the same results with it. Maybe one of the other adapters on the market work better.Customer Review: USB Ethernet Adaptor got me Connected!
Summary: 5 Stars
My 2003 Dell Inspiron 8200 has seen its better days, but it is still Kicken! 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. With That, I went with the "Belkin F5D5050 USB Ethernet Adaptor" and it worked like a Charm! I just Plugged it in and Windows XP found it and ran the setup wizard. My Router, connected thru the "Belkin F5D5050 USB Ethernet Adaptor" has been running fine for weeks now!Customer Review: Lifesaver!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently signed up for cable internet, but could not get the Ethernet port to work (and can't find a driver update - it's an older motherboard). This USB adapter was very easy to install, is VERY compact, and my download speeds have been around 4,000 (my connection is rated for 5,000 max, so not bad since I have USB 1.1 ports, not 2.0)
Eventually I might look at getting an Ethernet PCI card or hold out for my long-awaited driver updates, but this solution has been very satisfactory!
Customer Review: Does NOT work with Vista. Never Disclosed.
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this adaptor.
I opened the box and the first thing I read was
"The Windows Vista operating system is not supported by this device."
Here is a link to the product description:
http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-F5D5050-Networking-Ethernet-Adaptor/dp/B000062R4P
Nowhere does it mention that Vista, a 2007 operating system, is not supported. This is egregiously misleading.
Shame on you Amazon!

Customer Review: Tivo Owners - THIS IS THE ONE TO GET.
Summary: 5 Stars
I previously owned the Linksys 200M and it broke with the touch of a feather because of a little plastic door which holds the ethernet cable. I know plenty of Tivo owners will make the same mistake because it is the only one "certified" on their website. Do not buy the Linksys 200M. This adapter installed so easily and connected to Tivo perfectly. The design is light years away from the Linksys 200M. Tivo owners - buy this one, you won't be sorry!
