Belkin F5D8000 Wireless Pre-N Desktop Network Card

From the Manufacturer
The Belkin F5D8000 wireless Pre-N desktop network card connects your desktop computer to your wireless network with new Belkin Pre-N technology. It lets you share your broadband Internet connection farther and faster than ever. Featuring smart antenna technology, the Pre-N design helps combat distortion and interference so the Network Card can send its data streams greater distances, more reliably.

With a Belkin wireless Pre-N router as the central connection point of your network, your computers can share your high-speed Internet account as well as files, printers, and hard drives.

Belkin's Pre-N technology offers backward compatibility with existing 802.11g and 802.11b products to provide seamless integration with existing wireless networks. In fact, its advanced technology enables Belkin Pre-N products to significantly improve the performance of standard 802.11g and 802.11b devices in a mixed-network environment.

Advantages:

800 percent greater coverage than standard 802.11g: Belkin Pre-N provides the industry's best wireless coverage, extending your range with improved reliability and fewer drops
600 percent greater speeds than standard 802.11g: Belkin Pre-N provides the industry's fastest wireless connection for gaming, streaming video, Voice over IP, and moving large files efficiently and quickly between all the devices in your networked home
Improved performance of standard 802.11g and 802.11b networking devices: Using a Belkin Pre-N Router or Card with an older 802.11g or 802.11b networking product increases wireless coverage up to 20 percent
Improved resistance to wireless interference: Belkin Pre-N products sense potential interference and dynamically shift to the clearest wireless channel available
Belkin Pre-N products do not drop to the lowest networking speed in a mixed-mode environment if a standard 802.11g or 802.11b device is introduced into a Belkin Pre-N network: Belkin Pre-N products will continue to transmit at a link rate of 108 Mbps, a result competing products cannot achieve
Advanced Security: WiFi Protected Access (WPA) support provides enhanced encryption protecting your wireless network
Pop-up Blocker: 6 months of free pop-up, adware, and spyware stopper

Fed up with Bait and Switch.......2007-03-16

Even though this network card works amazingly well when everything is configured properly and it's a great bargain, Belkin is doing everything within its power to make you buy the N card and router instead. The day the Belkin N router was introduced at my local Staples and Bestbuy stores last year, the Pre-N cards and router mysteriously disappeared from the shelves and no one could explain why. Now Vista has been out for months, yet Belkin is still unable/unwilling to deliver Vista compatible drivers for most of the older Pre-N cards. All you get is a "coming soon" note on their web site with the implied message that they hope you run out of patience with your old, useless Pre-N network card and upgrade to N.

Not Vista Compatible.......2007-03-11

I was disappointed to learn this card won't work with Windows Vista. I bought the router + card together in hopes of getting broader coverage even though it isn't fully standards-compliant ("Pre-N"). I contacted support about the issue and they sent me instructions that didn't work out. Might be a good product for WindowsXP, but for my purposes I rate it 1 star.

The wireless Belkin network card was easy to install and works great. No more lag with online games!

Great range and speed.......2007-01-13

Bought the pre-n to replace a malfunctioning 802-11b system. I am very impressed with the speed and range. Well worth the price!
