Unfortunately the F5D8231 Cannot communicate with another router wirelessly .. You may need a range extender

there is nothing to do with adapter... you need to check with some other laptop to isolate where is the issue...

if your laptop works fine without dropping connection then get a replacement for your belkin adapter...

if your laptop also looses connection, then you need to check your wireless router...
