Belkin f5u409 driver

I need the driver for the cable to install it on my laptop which has vista. I already tried the belkin website but that was a waste of time. Do you know of a beta version? or anyother solution?

  • dleewilson Jun 26, 2008

    I downloaded this driver, (Belkin product) and it does not work on Vista 64 bit.



    However, I did find new adapters at several sites on the net that have the Vista 32 AND 64 bit drivers on the disk. Will probably try that route next.



    The problem I am currently having (have not bought the new adapter yet) is "serial port is engaged" when I try to do the data transfer. Windows keeps telling the driver is not installed, even though it is.

Hi,

Found a driver at www.driverguide.com Register with the site, search for f5u409 and the third one down I think is the Vista driver. Hopefully should solve your problem.

Windows 7 not compitable with belkin usb to serial adapter

can you confirm if it is F5U409?
If so the solution would be to install windows vista drivers. in belkin site it says that windows 32bit are compatible with the adapter.

Windows vista home premium can't recognize product and won't installI am using F5 theU257 v1 thethe compatible 32 bit for my 64 bit machine. Please Help. Thank You.

Download the appropriate Windows 7 driver from here:

http://en-us-support.belkin.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3111/~/f5u257-usb-to-serial-adapter---drivers

Use the 64 bit one if you have a 64 bit OS, and a 32 bit one if you use a 32-bit OS.

Or you can download both, start with the 64 bit one. If it is not compatible, the installer will complain and abort.

Purchased a belkin easy transfer cable. When

One of the most common problems is the computer's operating system not recognizing the cable's drivers. This is most common with non-English operating systems. The quickest solution is to download the most recent driver.
If the Easy Transfer Cable isn't working properly, you can try a few things to fix the problem. Make sure that you have installed the Easy Transfer Cable drivers on your old computer with the CD that is included in the cable package. If you did not do this, close Windows Easy Transfer, insert the CD that came with the Easy Transfer Cable into your old computer, and then follow the instructions on the screen. When this is complete, begin the transfer process again.
USB ports might be another cause of the problem. When Windows Easy Transfer asks you to connect your computers with the Easy Transfer Cable, try plugging the cable into other USB ports on your computers.
A more complex problem involves the F5U409 USB PDA Adapter (The USB/Serial Portable Adapter) not installing properly. If the driver is unzipping, but the unit is not working, you need to manually update the drivers. They should all unzip to a file called F5U109 in the C: drive of your computer. Point to this file through the Device Manager to update.

Hope it helps.

Error installing belkin easy transfer cable

Go to Belkin's support site here: http://catalog.belkin.com/support/?lid=en, then navigate to the cable that you have and download the drivers to your hard drive. Then when the found hardware wizard comes up next you can select to install the driver from a location you'll choose (point it to wherever you downloaded them to on your hard drive). XP SP2 should have picked it up, but if your running Vista you may need Vista specific driver (should be at the Belkin support site linked above).
Good luck.
