From the drop-down menu, choose ‘Device Manager’ and click on it.
I hope Ralink will come up with a better driver in due course. Change Wireless Mode to 54gLRS or Long Range Mixed. Change Wireless Mode to Long Range Mixed. However select any channel from 1 to 11 and leave it at the one that gives the best range. He then went on to suggest various things, including: F5D7050 Version 3000 is not recommended to be used in MAC operating system as it is not compatible with MAC. However, only F5D7050 Version 2000 is compatible with MAC OS 10.3 It is not compatible with the other version of MAC operating systems. "Clive, the driver for F5D7050 version 3000 is available. I had the following comment from Belkin Technical Support: I presume that you have the 3000uk model, or the Belkin driver should work. If you are more than a few feet from the router, it disconnects at random. I have done the same, and it sort of works, but not very well. Oh yes, and when changing adaptor, don't forget to update your router's MAC address permission table. I guess you might call this a mixed review. Seems to vary though - I just tried logging in via file sharing and it connected instantly, transferred 5Mb in a few sec, then just stopped - now I've got a 'server disconnected' error. Actual transfer rate seems high enough, but the latency spoils it. Overall, performance is a bit odd - it seems to have really bad latency - nothing will happen for 10 sec, then suddenly everything comes through at once. The software is a bit confusing as it always forgets the PSK or WEP key when you open the prefs, but it seems it does actually remember it.
I didn't have trouble with the IPv6 and burst mode (which was turned off by default anyway) issues mentioned, but I left them off. The software is certainly better than D-Link's, and it gets much better reception - I'm getting 65% at 54Mbits where I was lucky to get 50% with the D-Link.Īnother big bonus - it supports WPA-PSK and it works! I've been looking into various options so I though I'd get one of these Belkin dongles and give this driver a shot.
Having said the, the drivers are very buggy, and D-Link have a long history of not giving a stuff on this subject. As far as I'm aware it's the only wireless USB dongle that officially works on OS X. I've been using a D-Link DWL-122 (802.11b) with an iMac DV SE.
