Hi there Daniel; I did create a profile. I'll try the radio on/off trick. I think your e-mail mentioned it to me but I just spaced it! I have tried clicking on the profile and hitting activate, that didn't work.

everything he said was spot on. It was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. I was expecting to have to go into my network preferences and type in a bunch of numbers but once the driver was installed, it was all set up. I just had to launch the USB Utility, select my network, and type my password. easy as cake. and cake is easy. Thanks a lot

Thank you

I followed all of your steps that you gave me in the email and it worked perfectly!!! I am surfing the internet on the belkin adapter as we speak!

ha this may seem odd but if you would like to know i have successfully installed these drivers on a hackintosh, dell xps 410.

Thank you very much!!!

Just like the other forum members...

I've been looking a wireless N USB adapter for my PowerBook G4 for a while.

I came across this post and starting reading it.
I couldn't believe how simple a solution Daniel created for us.

I was weary at first, thinking I wouldn't be able to get this solution to work, but I did!

Follow Daniel's directions and he'll help you get surfing on the internet.
Got mine for a cheap price off of Amazon.

The only hiccup I ran into was something I forgot to do on my end...create a "Location" profile on my PowerBook that pointed to the newly created Ethernet Adaptor (en3 in my case). When creating the profile, make sure the correct ethernet adaptor is the only one checked.

Thanks again Daniel!


Here's my specifics:

Laptop: PowerBook G4
OS: Tiger 10.4.11
Router: Netgear WNR3500
Authentication: WPA2-PSK
Encryption: AES

Requirements

Hello Everyone,
I've now helped hundreds of people from all over the world get the Belkin F5D 8053 Wireless N USB Adapter working on their Macs. Out of those hundreds I've only received requests for Jaguar drivers twice. I don't have Jaguar drivers. Sorry
I think I posted the requirements for the adapter earlier in this thread but I thought I'd post them again. The requirements for you to run this 802.11 N wireless adapter on your Mac are that you must be running Panther Tiger or Leopard and have an available USB 2.0 slot on your Mac. Then you can use one of the Belkin F5D 8053 Wireless N USB adapters on your Mac. I thought supporting three operating systems was good, but it seems no matter how far back you go someone gets left behind and for that I am sorry.

Working really great. Thanks Totallybonkers!

Hi! I just installed those drivers from Totallybonkers and it works great! At first, it didn't work on an iMac MB325LLA. So I tried it on a MB323LL/A and it worked great. Maybe the problem for the MB325LL/A was that I didn't correctly uninstall the drivers from Ralink Technology http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Macintosh.html (which I thought should work since it is for the same chipset) or "maybe" because I just directly plug the dongle without the cradle/usb cable extension, but afterwards it worked only with the dongle.

I also tested it on a Hackintosh with Kalyway 10.5.2 and it works. So that Belkin USB dongle is a really nice alternative for those with laptops that OSx can't see the integrated wireless card and for those like HP, Compaq, IBM (maybe Lenovo too) that you can't change the wifi card because the motherboard won't recognize it.

Huge thanks to Totallybonkers!

it's magic

Thanks Daniel for getting back to me so quickly!

Works like a charm on my Mac Pro. I had to unplug/plug it after rebooting the last time, but I don't have to do that terribly often - not a big deal. It seems easier for me to just have it plugged into the front USB port and do it manually, rather than open up the utility and going that route.

Just installed the Belkin FD 8053 on G4 Tower

I just installed the driver that I received from "Totallybonkers" and everything has worked perfectly. After I got the driver from him within 2 hours of asking for it, I installed it and was up and running within 10 minutes.

I have a G4 Tower (Quicksilver) this is the model with 733 MHZ, and am running 10.4.11.

If anyone needs this driver, do not hesitate to ask this user for it he is more than willing to help.

Thanks again TotallyBonkers!

Hi all
Now My Mac mini is working. I had to reinstall fresh OSX 10.5 again. However, I wonder why I have to plug in again after reboot everytime.

G4 Mini with Tiger : works great

Thanks for your dmg Daniel
I have a MacBook running Leopard connected to an extreme base station on wireless N. I purchased a used G4 Mini (Tiger installed) to run a multi-webcam security set-up and do some audio/video serving. I had to downgrade my router to N/G to connect the mini and, of course, that slows everything down. My Apple store (Carbon Computing) although helpful, was unable to provide an Apple solution. I was faced with purchasing a G router to talk to the mini without slowing down the c2d MacBook. I came across this forum and decided to give your solution a try as all rational responses were very positive. Future Shop wanted over $60 for the Belkin but I soon found one online at FAR less. Late last night I emailed you for the files and, true to your excellent reputation, you sent a detailed reply with the dmg attached. In very little time I was running my Mini at N speed with my router re-configured N only. Well done totallybonkers_, your files enabled a $20 solution to a $100 problem.

My dongle works finally

Thank you Daniel for your help,
I emailed to Daniel about the belkin f5d8053 installer for my G4 computer. In less than 20 hours, I received 3 programs (for 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 systems).
And now, my dongle works perfectly, but in system preference I have D-Link DW-140 and not Belkin f5d8053.
Any way, this is not a problem...It works.
Thanx again Daniel ;D ;D ;D
