Question 1

Will this adapter work with a desktop machine?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this wireless adapter works very well in my desktop computer.  It is amazingly small and I had my doubts until I tried it out. It is so easy to install and it works perfectly 100% of the time. I definitely recommend it.

Question 2

I need drivers for this,were do I get them from.?

Accepted Answer

Several ways are possible: From the company's Web site; there's also a small CD that comes with the product.  If you hook up your device to a hard wired Ethernet connection, Windows Update will probably be able to download drivers.  When asking such a question, it's a good idea to say which Operating System you're using.  I hope this helps.

Question 3

Will any USB Wireless adapter work with any WiFi keyboard or mouse?

Accepted Answer

Doubtful. This is a WiFi Wireless Ethernet adapter. Wireless keyboards use different Wireless such as Bluetooth or their own proprietary adapter.

That said there are bluetooth adapters that look exactly like this and perhaps from Belkin. You just need to look at your wireless keyboard and Mouse and see what it requires and ensure you get one with that protocol.

Most wireless keyboards and mice that are proprietary ship with their own dongle. Otherwise they'll say "Bluetooth Wireless Mouse" or such.

Question 4

Will this adapter work with Windows 10?

Accepted Answer

I'm using it with Window XP.  From the user's manual:

System Requirements

• PC-compatible laptop with one available USB 2.0 bus-power port
• Windows® XP with SP2 or later, Windows Vista®, Windows 8, or Windows 7

It seems likely to me that this item WILL work with Windows 10, but I don't know it for a fact.  Have you considered contacting Belkin directly and asking them about this issue?

Question 5

Is it Mac compatible?

Accepted Answer

I've checked the driver CD included with the product and Belkin's Web site - there are NO references to Mac compatibility.

Question 6

Will this unit interface with Bluetooth I have a old Sony television and I'd like to know if you're able me to hook up Bluetooth ?

Accepted Answer

NO, this is a WIFI adapter not a Bluetooth adapter.
