Solved: Belkin Surf & Share Wireless USB Adapter died

I have removed the font and style from your post - to make it easy to read -

with the adapter connected to the PC would you post back a screen shot of device manager and also an ipconfig /all

------------------------------------------------------------------------
{Device Manager}
Post back the results in device manager
If you cannot access the internet with this PC, then you will need to copy the program across to the faulty PC
Start > control Panel {Vista set to classic view}> system > {Vista, device manager on left hand side} {XP hardware Tab, device manager button} >
windows 7
start > control panel> System and Security> Device Manager

network adaptors, click on the + > post back the devices listed there
are there any ! ? or X


post a screen shot of the device manager - network adapters

To post a screen shot of the active window, hold the Alt key and press the PrtScn key. Open the Windows PAINT application and Paste the screen shot. You can then use PAINT to trim to suit, and save it as a JPG format file.

{ipconfig /all}

the device manager is showing as a problem yellow !
have you tried right clicking on the device, update driver and then allow windows to find a driver via windows update

I guess the issue is to make it detect as a belkin device
Keep the device connected and then Uninstall the device from device manager
remove the device and reboot and then you may be able to also uninstall from the USB using this utility

then plug in again and see what happens on a reboot and again allow windows to find the driver via windows update

 

when did this happen - is it possible to do a restore to a date before the problem started
start>
programs>
accessories>
system tools>
system restore>

 

Have you checked to make sure the problem lies in the hub and wireless adapter, and not with your computer's USB port(s)? Try the adapter on another computer if you haven't yet done so.
