You might just try the support area at Belkin's website.

You might try manually installing the driver in Device manager. What exactly happens when you plug it in to your USB port?

do you have a wireless router? also, some usb dongles don't have drivers for a 64 bit os. what specific model do you have?

loukeeya can you hook the belkin wifi directly to a usb port on the computer and not use the usb dongles?

Sorry to tell you, but if you do not have a wireless router in your home, your Belkin Wireless USB adapter is useless.  It is made to connect with a wireless router.

That is correct.  The Belkin G USB Wireless adapter is made to connect to a wireless signal, like that generated by a wireless router, but it will not connect to a mobile broadband service.  A mobile broadband card only receives the signal generated by your mobile broadband service, it does not send out a signal that can be picked up by anythign else, it only receives a set signal from your mobile broadband ISP.

There is of course, the ability to connect via ad hoc (a node-to-node network), but that would not necessarily apply in this situation.

I would agree that if you plug it in and it doesn't light up (or prompt you to install drivers) the device is defective.
