Hey thanks for looking at this post. ill get to the point. Basically i baught a Belkin wireless USB adapter 6 months ago, intending to use it on the new router i baught yesterday. the adapter is a belkin f5d8053 n wireless adapter. The router i have is an N+ router. Basically my problem is i can connect to the interner fine, and so can my brother on his built in wireless in his laptop. only problem is, between every 10 - 30 minutes my connection will just drop for a good 5-6 seconds and then reconnect, which as you can imagine is really annoying, it disconnects my from msn, skype calls and even games. my brother however, is fine and i assume its my wireless adapter. I googled my problem and seems alot of people have the same problem with this model. My signal strength is always top bar and maybe 1 bar off top every now and again. Its version 3011ed - ive gone on the belkin site and downloaded the most up to date version 3 drive, still the same issue, i went into device manager, made sure the "let your pc turn off this device to save power". I've also sent various mails off to belkin, of which they replied with uninstall the drivers, then reinstall and restart, which i have done several times and my problem still persists.
