I have a Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router(#WRT54G) and a Belkin Wireless G USB Adapter(#F5D7050) is there any problem using these 2 together for my wireless network? I cant seem to get them to work.
 
no there is no problem with using those two different brands, in fact i setup the same way in my mother-in-laws house.

what problem are you having?
 
running XP on both computers. OK..first off its a Westell WireSpeed Dual Connect Modem, sent by Verizon(Works Fine) I got the Linksys router setup ok, and the internet on the host computer working through the router, but I dont have the setup disk for the Belkin Wireless G USB Adapter(#F5D7050) So I downloaded the firmware from Belkin.com. Those drivers didn't work. Windows update installed Ralink drivers(http://www.ralinktech.com/supp-1.htm) Also..In Services...do I run "Wireless Zero Config." or the "Belkin 54g wireless"
 
you will want to run one or the other. if you want to run windows wifi config (recommended) run wireless zero config. if u want to use the belkin stuff, run the belkin service. in either case, make sure only one is running to eliminate confusion.

also, i had windows update install drivers on one of the computers in my mother in laws house and it didnt work. you said u downloaded the firmware from the belkin site. if that is the case, download the drivers for the adapter. firmware and drivers are really two different things.
