Performing Diagnostic Tests on your Connection

Click on the “Diagnostics” tab.

This page allows you to perform several diagnostic tests that are available for your Belkin Wireless G Desktop Network Card.

Control Registers

This test verifies the read and write capabilities of the network controller registers by writing various values to the registers and verifying the result. The device driver uses these registers to perform network functions such as sending and receiving information. If the test fails, the network adapter may not work properly.

SPROM Format Version

This test verifies the content of the SPROM by reading a portion of the SPROM and computing the checksum. The test fails if the computed checksum is different than the checksum stored in the SPROM.

Memory Tests

This tests verifies that the network controller internal memory is functioning properly. The test writes patterned values to the memory and reading back the results. The test fails if an erroneous value is read back. The network controller will not function without its internal memory.
