The Belkin site has Windows 8 drivers for this device but they are craptastic. I had 2 of these running on different machines, both Win 8, and I was constantly removing and re-inserting the device to get it to recognize and connect to a wireless signal. Don't get it for gaming, connection is very unreliable. Furthermore, both of mine died after just over a year. Hope that helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I use my PC primarily for gaming as well. I just purchased this product and it has been problem free. I recommend it. I have an apple airport express base station. Great combination.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would use a higher number and Belkin was a recommended brand by my computer technician.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hey, Marcus - did you try connecting directly to your cable modem and going in to Belkin's website to download the updated driver required for using it with Windows 8? I had to do that to get it to work with our Cisco router, as when the Belkins hit the shelves, they did not have the Windows 8 drivers already equipped. Try it, and I'll bet that solves your issue! 8) It shouldn't have any problems working with your NetGear Router! Hope this helps!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I too am using windows 8 in a new dell. I have a very poor connection too. I would recommend returning the unit and getting something else!!!!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not all brands are compatible. You might be running across this issue. Make sure you buy an adapter of same brand or one that says specifically that it can connect to ALL brands.
