Review on 📶 High-Performance BELKIN F5D7000 Wireless Desktop Network Card: Fast and Reliable Internet Connectivity for Your Desktop by William Anacker

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Parity error is good for network cards

I got this card to move my tower from the media room (where me and my roommates have our gaming systems) to my bedroom. I followed the installation instructions to the last letter and opened the case AFTER installing the Belkin Wireless Utility. for no reason I can see even if it is less than 5ft from the router. Also, the machine gives me a unique blue screen of death that I have never seen in over 10 years of networking. It gives me a parity error and the system hangs with a blue screen and white text. just small talk about how to contact the manufacturer. I'm poking around the internet trying to find a way around this. The only thing I've found is to either A) disable the Belkin utility and ask Windows to watch it, or B) do the opposite, disable the Windows wireless utility and let Belkin do its job to let. I'm trying the old blue screen. I try the last one, blue screen. Works fine for about six or seven minutes with no issues, then blue screen. Considering the many people I've seen saying the same thing (not just here but on three other websites) I bought it to make it clear that the rest of the reviews were very positive and that they were from a levels seemed to come from a wide range of experiences. Lucky I think. Anyway, I'd say stay away from Belkin. The only reason I bought the card was because I was thinking "Belkin router, Belkin card" because I know other companies like Linksys have issues with generic hardware.

Pros
