Belkin+Mac.......2006-12-26

I installed it into a Rev A. PowerMac G5 without a hitch. As soon as I installed Tiger 10.4 (the original release version from the 1st DVD, without updates) the Airport assistant started right up on 1st boot and allowed me to join my wireless network. Got it for 50 or so at Wal-Mart. I put the computer 1 floor above the router about 60-80 feet away under a desk. The box lists 700 feet distance, however I'm thinking that would be unobstructed wireless distance. I am getting a little less than half bars with my current position, the data speed is very acceptible.

If you are a Mac user and want to use this product, you should know a few things first. The box did not list Mac OSX compatability at all. For your card to work, you need to make sure it has Broadcom listed in the ©opyright section on the bottom of the box. Also, this card did NOT work with Mac OS 10.2, however I cannot vouch for 10.3.

Mac OS X 10.4.8 user takes note..........2006-11-06

The box design on this site is old. The new box design has green bar instead of red as you seen here. I got mine from Walmart for $50. They also have the $35 one but it may not be Mac compatible because it doesn't say broadcom under the trademark. The $35 version (Part # F5D7000), with red bar design, is a "G" version and it is not a 125 High Speed Mode. The $50 version (Part # F5D7001), with green bar design, is a "G+" version and it is a 125 High Speed Mode. 125 High Speed Mode is a trademark of broadcom. My QuickSilver G4 (2002) recognizes the card, the "G+" version, instantly and it works with Airport version 4.2. I don't know if it runs on 125MB or not because I don't have the Belkin "G+" router. But it works on my Buffalo G54 AirStation on 802.11g (54MB). My "G+" hardware card is version 2000 (it says on a sticker outside the box).

Do not install the utility.......2006-07-21

I followed the installation instructions as written and could not get this device to work. In the end, I had to uninstall the configuration utility and just load the driver. After letting XP handle the wireless management, I was able to get this to work without hassle.
For the price, I'm impressed.

Belkin Wireless G Desktop Network Card is a MISS!.......2006-02-17

I bought my Belkin Wireless G Desktop Network Card at Wal-Mart for $35.00 about three months ago. What a mistake! The card keeps shutting off no matter what I do. The only way that I can get it to work (for awhile) is to literally "play around" with the buttons on the splash screen until it decides to come on again. It will stay on for awhile then shut down again. Ok, so let me call the Belkin phone number (on the box) and find out what to do. Well the phone service is nothing but a bunch of meaningless taped messages which can't solve anything of substance. Pure frustration! There is NO real live PERSON to help you! Ok, So now let's try their e-mail troubleshooting service. I send them an e-mail explaining my problem and hurray, I got an answer right back...Only it was a computer generated message telling me that they were really very busy and I was in line for the next technician available. That was two weeks ago and I am still waiting!
I would suggest that anyone with a modicum of intelligence stay away from purchasing Belkin products until they get their product service act together. If you have problems, there is NO WAY you can get them solved. If this is the way they treat their customers. or I should say, DON'T treat their customers then you should stay clear of Belkin. If there is no way to contact them for product problems then simply don't buy the the product. Stay away, I've given you fair warning!

NOT Mac compatible! Be careful what Belkin tells you.......2005-12-16

I, like many people, have an older Mac (B&W G3 running OSX Tiger) and was looking for a wireless solution. I contacted Belkin directly and spoke with one of their "techies", and was assured that the Belkin F5D7001 adapter would work on my machine. So I ordered it, installed it, and.....nothing. I contacted Belkin to see what the issue was, and now this time time he assured me that this card IS NOT Mac compatible. Very frustrating. Be aware of the information out there.
