Hello,

Following the purchase of my new PC running Windows 10, I am unable to use my Belkin F7D4101ed Wi-Fi dongle.

During installation, the PC does not recognize this dongle.

Would it be possible to find an updated driver for Windows 10...?

I would like to clarify that I have no connection available; I have to use another PC, so it's not possible for me to update the software via this PC...

I need to download it and transfer it to a USB drive...

Thank you....

    Hi,

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-networking/wifi-disconnection-issues-windows-10-home-premium/d553020e-af18-41c6-b47e-b19c3015e849?auth=1

    “Just uninstall the Belkin drivers and get the Windows 7 drivers. Then create a direct link on your desktop and right-click that direct link. Edit properties and go to Compatibility, then check Run this program in compatibility mode, and select Windows 7, also check run this program as administrator. Accept the changes and run the direct link.

    This way you are installing the new Windows 7 drivers in compatibility mode for Windows 7, so the Belkin adapter will work correctly and properly all the time.”

    Basically, you uninstall the drivers, download them, and run them in Windows 7 compatibility mode and as an administrator.

    And the driver: http://cache-www.belkin.com/support/dl/F9L1101v2.exe

    Hello,

    Press Windows + R
    Type --> devmgmt.msc and OK.

    Provide the hardware ID number of the device
    Right-click on the device
    Properties
    Details tab
    Select the hardware ID number.
    It's a number that should look something like this as an example:
    --> PCI\VEN_1969&DEV_1026&SUBSYS.......
    --> USB\....
    If needed, check --> here

    Is Windows 10 32 or 64 bits?

    You don't have a section --> other peripherals?

    What do you have in network adapters?
