System lock-up after Belkin Wi-Fi installed

I have just set up my wireless network using a Belkin G+ MIMO Modem
Router & Belkin G+ Mimo USB adapter. I have had trouble with a poor
signal from the router, but this has now been replaced and seems to be
OK.
However, since going 'wireless', my PC periodically locks-up for no
apparent reason, and the only course of action is to restart it. It
locked up when the router was disconnected (and being replaced at the
store), and I have tried unplugging the USB adapter when it is locked
but this doesn't help either. It doesn't seem to be related to running
anything in particular, in fact it often happens when the system is
idle.

Can anyone tell me if there are any known issues with lock-up
associated with the Belkin adapter, as I suspect it may be this that is
causing it.
Belking suggested updating the drivers for the USB ports which I have
done, but the problem still occurs.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks & regards,
Adrian

As a test, try uninstalling the Belkin G+ Mimo USB adapter, and running
your PC on a wired connection to the Belkin G+ MIMO Modem Router.

Since you just got this hardware, why not return it and get something
else better than Belkin?
