First off remove the adaptor.

Now remove the software for that using add remove programs and then re-start the computer

now re-install the software

When it tells you insert the adaptor in a USB 2.0 port.

Let the installation finish.

This should fix the problem.

Heads up try to leave the adaptor in the same port all the time as it may otherwise want to install every time you plug it into a different port..

You didn't say what your operating system was but anything less than windows XP may have problems (more so with Linux)

Dont plug it into a USB hub as this quite often causes belikn adaptors not to work properly.

Did you have a similar wireless adapter install previous to this one? If the software is similar then you need to uninstall the old software so that you can install the new software. The problem might be the old software version is running and you can't write over a file that is running. You can't delete or overwrite it until that process is closed.

If you have access to the Internet using a LAN cable, then download the Netgear wireless USB adapter to install the driver. After downloading you can remove the LAN cable.
You can also save the driver from your laptop to an USB memory stick and then install the driver in your computer with the USB memory stick.

I have lost my CD installation software of Belkin N wireless USB network adopter. now i need it to reinstall it .so, can you tell me that how can i reinstall it without CD installation software.

You just need to go to the BELKIN Support website and select your exact model of USB adapter as well as the operatin system that your computer is running. Here is the link to the support website:

http://en-us-support.belkin.com/app/product/list/q/network-adapters/session/L3RpbWUvMTMwMDgyMzYzOC9zaWQvanJ4bV9BcGs%3D

Just use your mouse to click on the link, which is the underlined and highlighted text just above. This will open a new web browser page automatically for you and allow you to view the information at the website indicated.

When you find the driver for your model of USB adapter, just download the file and run it, then follow the onscreen instructions to install your USB adapter.

Good luck.

I have a laptop and was given an 10/100 fast ethernet notebook adapter. can I install on my laptop and how

You'll need another computer with Internet access, and either a USB port (for a USB memory-stick) or a CD-writer (and a "blank" disk).

Download the device-driver software for your adapter, and your Operating System,
and copy the files to the memory-stick or to the CD-R.

Take the memory-stick or CD-R to your computer, and run the software to install the device-driver.
Connect the adapter when the "installer" tells you to connect it.

Then, configure the "wireless" settings (SSID/password) to connect to your wireless router.

Did you try these drivers for DWA-125?
ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Wireless/dwa125/Drivers/dwa125_drivers_120.zip

If your model is DWA-125 RevA2 then you need these drivers for it.
ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Wireless/dwa125_revA2/Drivers/dwa125_revA2_drivers_130.zip


Uninstall all the previous drivers/ apps related to your adapter. Download the appropriate drivers above. Unzip/ extract the file. But don't run any installer yet.

Plug in your adapter first cancel the windows new hardware found pop up if it come up. If windows says no drivers found thats ok. If windows finds the drivers and installs it right then great if not then lets move on.

Open device manager. Click on the adapter and click upgrade driver and select find drivers manually. Point it to the folder you unzipped all the files too. And windows should install the drivers this time.

Let us know how it goes..

Are there new drivers for teh Wireless G Plus MIMO USB adapters for windows 7?

From Belkin's Support web site: Windows 7 Product Support Information Windows 7 users:
If you are using an older Belkin Networking product, you may not have support for Windows 7 with your current software. Please visit your product specific support site to check for updated Windows 7-compatible software for your product.
Software updates will be posted as they become available. Please check back if your product is not currently supported.
Some updates may still be in the process of going through Microsoft’s official certification program. Although they have been thoroughly tested, they may present a warning message when the driver is being installed. These drivers will install on 32 bit operating systems but not on 64 bit systems, which is the normal and expected behavior.

Failed to install

Belkin drivers are a bit of a pain, uninstall the drivers again and remove the usb adapter, and follow exactly as per instructions, normally driver first, but ignore the pop up about the driver not being a signed windows if it does, just click install anyway. toward the end of the installation you should be prompted to connect the usb adapter, the hardware should be found and then the installation should complete. If driver installed ok but the adapter cant find the the driver plug it into a different usb port and again the found hardware should pop up then install driver popup should show and you should select install automatically.
