Belkin Netware Products + Win 98

[Guest Adrian]

Based on my personal experience with selected Belkin wireless network

products:

 

Re:

Belkin Range Extender / Access Point (The product can be used for both

functions.) I (only) used the access Point option.

Above was used in combination with a Belkin USB wireless network adaptor.

Both packages state Win 98 as being a suitable os.

 

Re: + Win98SE

The combination is a disaster. Sometimes it will work (only after a cold

reboot), sometimes it won't. All my settings were correct. I checked them

out. Every one of them. My advice would be, "Don't". The Belkin Service Desk

on one entire day was totally unavailable. When I did get hold of them on

another day, they were very pleasant but quite ineffective.

 

Re: + XPP

The above with XPP works excellently. I wouldn't use the software provided

with the adaptor by Belkin. It will give you a "my first program"

experience. Use the software provided with the XP os.

 

Re: + Vista

The above with Vista works excellently. My Dell Vostro laptop did not need

an adapter, did not need the Belkin software.

Thank you for your feedback. I would suggest using a LinkSys router with a

wired connection for the home and then also using the router that has the

feature for wireless to allow a 98SE computer to use the wireless signal. My

friend Mark used it with his Windows 98 Second Edition PC with great results.

I did consider using LinkSys. I read the reports on amazon.com

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/B00007KDVI/sr=8-1/qid=1190825936/ref=cm_cr_dp_all_top/105-3229720-2949246?ie=UTF8&n=172282&s=electronics&qid=1190825936&sr=8-1#customerReviews

and decided against it.

Regards,

Adrian.

Well, suit yourself --- I am not sure which LinkSys router we have off hand

in Alb. NM since I am at my parent's home in Santa Fe, NM, USA.
