Why can't I connect to the Internet even though the Link LED is solid on my Belkin F5D7000 Network Card?
If the Link LED on your Belkin Network Card is solid but you can't connect to the Internet, it might be due to a mismatch in the encryption key settings between your computer and wireless router (or access point). To resolve this, verify that the WEP key settings match on both devices.
What to do if the Power LED is off and my Belkin Network Card isn't working?
If the Power LED on your Belkin Network Card doesn't turn on and the card isn't working, it could be due to the card not being properly connected or installed. First, ensure the card is firmly plugged into the PCI slot of your computer. Also, check that the drivers for the card have been installed. If an error is still indicated, contact Belkin Technical Support.
Why is the Link LED blinking slowly on my Belkin Network Card, and I cannot connect to the internet?
If the Link LED on your Belkin Network Card is blinking slowly and you can't connect to a wireless network or the Internet, there might be a mismatch between the network name (SSID) settings in your wireless network properties. Check the SSID settings to ensure they match. You can also double-click the Signal Indicator icon to bring up the “Wireless Networks” screen.
How to fix a Belkin Network Card that is not detected by the operating system?
If your Belkin Network Card isn’t detected by the operating system, it might not be recognized by your desktop computer. Remove the screws behind your computer case that secure the computer cover and remove the cover. Then, push the card firmly into the PCI slot that you have chosen.
What to do if my Belkin F5D7000 shows my network name but won't connect?
If the name of your wireless network appears in the “Available Networks” list, click on the correct network name. If the network has security (encryption) enabled, you will need to enter the network key. Within a few seconds, the tray icon in the lower right-hand corner of your screen should turn green, indicating a successful connection to the network.
Why is data transfer slow on my Belkin Network Card?
If data transfer with your Belkin Network Card is sometimes slow, it could be because wireless technology is radio-based. Connectivity and throughput performance decrease as the distance between devices increases. To improve this, temporarily move the computer to five to 10 feet away from the wireless router (or access point).
What to do if my Belkin F5D7000 Network Card doesn't show my Wi-Fi network?
If the name of your wireless network DOES NOT appear in the list of “Available Networks” for your Belkin Network Card, temporarily move the computer, if possible, to five to 10 feet away from the Wireless Router (or Access Point). Close the Wireless Networking Utility, and reopen it. Using a computer that is connected to the Wireless Router (or Access Point) via a network cable (as opposed to wirelessly), ensure that “Broadcast SSID” is enabled.

If the Installation CD-ROM does not start the Wireless Networking Utility, and your computer is running other applications, open up your CD-ROM drive by double-clicking on the “My Computer” icon.
