   belkin f5d7000 problems
  hello all, im having a problem with my new wirelss card, the belkin f5d7000. when i first got it, it was running perfect, but now it runs realy slow. it also has connection problems to. i recently just went out and bought a 7 dbi omni antenna for it, but the problem is, i have the same exact signal strength as i did before with the standard 2.2 dbi antenna. i always have had 1 signal bar with both 2.2 and 7 dbi antennas. is thier a way to make this better? such as custom drivers/firmware? if so how can you edit the file? if any one knows please speak up now.   
  this relates to graphics programming and theory how? [rolleyes]   ;  Moved to the lounge. But why, exactly, did you join a GAME DEVELOPMENT site to ask about this!?   ;Quote:Original post by ViLiOthis relates to graphics programming and theory how? [rolleyes]NEDM (You rule ViLiO)Well, Jack.  Where do you keep your router, and where do you usually use your laptop?  Are you several floors away from your router?  if you use the computer within the vicinity of the router, does the signal improve?  ;Quote:Original post by Strider_HiryuNEDMWhat?;Quote:Original post by CowardQuote:Original post by Strider_HiryuNEDMWhat?Nothing justifies a wireless router thread on the GP&T.

Just type "hex editor" into google and download whichever takes your fancy.The go to the belkin site and download the firmware. NOT the latest, the last one. The latest one is known to be slow, especially with a good antenna - I guess belkin want to sell their own antennas?Anyway, once you've done all that, open up the firmware patch in your hex editor. Delete the 128th character, the 256th, and so on every 128 characters. These are artificial caps belkin puts in it's software to stop the h4x0rs.One you've removed these, do the firmware upgrade. Ignore any 'warnings' it gives - these are just belkin trying to stop you from using your property to it's real capacity. After that your belkin should FLY!Let me know how this goes for you, and I'll give more advice if you need it. Make sure you post here in GP&T so I can find it!
