Belkin wireless g notebook network card?

Question

Ok i just bought one, however im not sure if it might be compatable with vista. I've gone onto the website and there are different models with the same model no: F5D7010. How do i find the exact model number. I've looked on the card, everywhere in the box really need help.

Answer 1

Doesn't your laptop have Wifi built-in? All modern ones do. The "Belkin wireless g notebook network card" is an add-on for laptops that don't have WiFi, a PCMCIA card.

Read your laptop User Manual and return the Belkin.

You do need a wireless router, though, to connect to your DSL / Cable modem. WiFi Routers are small computers with their own operating system, at least one antenna and Ethernet ports.

So, it doesn't matter what OS your PC uses.

Answer 2

Yes, it has drivers available for Vista. You can find your exact card version by looking on the back. You will see a small sticker that says something like

VER.1212

Find it in the list on this page, and download the drivers.
