thank you for trying but this is a *.bin file and updates the firmware. It is not a setup software.Need to access the unit before it can be upgraded! Need the start up or setup disk software. Regards

Hi, I have downloaded the file. It is a text file. What do i do next? I am a novice at computers. I am after a setup disk *exe or *.bat file which will configure the Belkin. Any help would be appreciated. Regards Dilip

Thank you. It is most informative and really appreciate your efforts. I had a belkin router before and have just changed to a BTHomehub. Reading your mail explains why I could not access the extender as it works with Belkin router only!.(My son had set up the original) I now understand how the web site 192.168.2.1 sets the equipment but can't access with new router.Simplicity and logical explanation was very easy to understand, follow and learn.
If I connect the Belkin extender to the BTHub I can see as a available wireless (UNSECURED) Anyone can connect to my network. Is there any way I can secure it in the present setup?
Kind regards Dilip

GuruHi,
If I may add to eeagle338‘s posting, it would seem that you need:
1. setup disk
There are no setup files for the Wireless Access Point/Router Belkin F5D7130. However, you need driver/installer/setup files for the Belkin Wireless G Notebook Card F5D7010. These files are OS specific and must match the version of your card.
2. password
If you have done the reset & restored to factory defaults then you don’t need a password (leave it blank) to Login, simply press Submit in the Web-based User Interface. If for some reason you cannot login, you may have to do the reset & restore to factory defaults (again)
3. access the unit (I assume the router); I can't access the unit on 192.168.2.1 (as per manual)
You need to be wired to the router from your PC, connect a LAN cable from your PC’s NIC to the RJ45 Ethernet Jack at the rear of the F5D7130. In your PC, assign static (“Use the following…”) IP Address to your PC - 192.168.2.200; Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0. Open a browser and type “192.168.2.254”, the Web-based User Interface will open. If you have done the reset & restored to factory defaults then as earlier stated, you don’t need a password (leave it blank) to Login, simply press Submit.
5. where can get the setup cd or software?
This site list all the versions of a F5D7010 as well as the appropriate drivers (all are downloadable). And yes they are ".exe" files.
Based on your post “I have reset the unit.”, pls be informed that there are 2 reset methods. Determine which one was performed.
a. Resetting the WAP - Push and release the Reset button. The lights on the WAP will momentarily flash. The Power/Ready light will begin to blink. When the Power/Ready light becomes solid again, the reset is complete.
b. Restoring the Factory Defaults - Press and hold the Reset button for five seconds then release it. The lights on the WAP will momentarily flash. The Power/Ready light will begin to blink. When the Power/Ready light becomes solid again, the restore is complete.
Hope that your concerns were all addressed and that this be of some help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards.

Hi again,
You're welcome and appreciate the kind words.
As to you query "Is there any way I can secure it in the present setup?"
Yes, either WEP, WPA or MAC Filter and use of a security key.
However, experience has taught me that use of any security injects unnecessary slowdown in a WiFi connection.
In most of my installations (should the client concur), I disable the WEP and WPA and run the system Unsecured. To restrict only allowed PCs to connect via WiFi, I simple enter the client PC's MAC address to the allowed machine listing of the router. Thereafter any and all other trying to connect would simply be ignored and therefore rejected. Please verify that your router has this feature/option.
