•Do NOT post Firmware files or direct D/L links here. Links to sites hosting third party firmware are offered "as is" by forum members. No direct links to the firmware or uploads of the firmware to BBR are permissible, only links to the site hosting the firmware. Such firmware is neither tested nor endorsed by broadbandreports.com. In other words, while we encourage forum members to discuss their experiences with firmware, we take no responsibility for damages resulting from using it.
•Keep your issues to one thread for best assistance and so as not to duplicate member efforts. Give enough information. Give a little time for a reply. "Please" and "thank you" may seem like old fashioned concepts, but we like them.
•Do not "hijack" someone else's help thread by jumping in -- please start your own thread.
•No posting requests to purchase or items for sale. This site has For Sale/Wanted & Deals Forums for that purpose.
•Otherwise, the existing site Rules on Posting and Terms of Use pretty much cover it... If you have any questions, please ask your friendly forum moderator. :-)

1.1 Pre-N·How to convert the F5D8230-4 Router into an Access Point?
·Placement of your Pre-N
·Some important steps for Pre-N
|
| (back) |
Using the F5D8230-4 as an Access Point applies to version 100x and v200x
This means that you will be converting the F5D8230-4 ROUTER into an Access Point and then connecting the F5D8230-4/AP to another ROUTER that manages your Network WAN/LAN/AP communications
Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only. The F5D8230-4 Router can be configured to work as a wireless network Access Point. Using this mode will defeat the NAT IP sharing feature and DHCP server. In AP mode, the Router will need to be configured with an IP address that is in the same subnet as the rest of the network that you will bridge to. The default IP address [for the F5D8230-4/AP is] 192.168.2.254 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These can be customized for your need.
1. Enable the AP mode my selecting “Enable” in the “Use as Access Point only” page. When you select this option, you will be able to change the IP settings.
2. Set your IP settings to match your network. Click “Apply Changes”.
3. Connect a cable [category 5e Ethernet cable] from the WAN port on the Router [now acting as an Access Point] to your existing network Router's available LAN port.
The Router is now acting as an Access Point. To access the Router advanced user interface again, type the IP address you specified into your browser’s navigation bar. You can set the encryption settings, MAC address filtering, SSID, and channel normally.
Note:Most of the above information can be found on Page 54 of the F5D8230-4 user manual -- Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface. The F5D8230-4 user manual contains a wealth of information that is easy to follow and understand.

Aside from searching the web, you download the trial version of Teleport Pro
Once installed from the menu bar select file/New Project Wizard
Select Duplicate a website, including directory structure.
Enter the cable modem or router IP and select how many links deep you want to look.
Select what you want and enter the username and password if needed.
Hit the finish button.
Save the project file. I created a desktop folder named "Router" and the program saved the website in a directory named 192 since I named the project file 192.
Hit the start button.
When it's done, go to the directory you sent the files to, in my case C:\Documents and Settings\nozero\Desktop\Router\192\192.168.0.1. Here is the list of files it found for my Netgear WGR 614:

The Virtual Servers function will allow you to route external (Internet)
calls for services such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21),
or other applications through your Router to your internal network.
If your application is not listed, you will need to
contact the application vendor to find out which port settings you need.
Choose the application from the drop-down list. Click “Add”. The
settings will be transferred to the next available space in the screen.
Enter the IP address in the space provided for the internal (server) machine
Click “Apply Changes” to save the setting for that application.
To remove an application, select the number of the row that you want to
remove then click “Clear”.
Manually Entering Settings into the Virtual Server
To manually enter settings, enter the IP address in the space provided
for the internal (server) machine, the port(s) required to pass, select the
port type (TCP or UDP), and click “Apply Changes”. Each inbound port
entry has two fields with 5 characters maximum per field that allows a
start and end port range, e.g. [xxxxx]-[xxxxx]. For each entry, you can
enter a single port value by filling in the two fields with the same value
(e.g. [7500]-[7500] or a wide range of ports (e.g. [7500]-[9000]). If you
need multiple single port value or mixture of ranges and a single value,
you must use multiple entries up to the maximum of 20 entries (e.g.
1. [7500]-[7500], 2. [8023]-[8023], 3. [9000]-[9000]). You can only pass
one port per internal IP address.

This is because the router is using a NAT firewall and the computers on the router are behind this firewall. You can fix it but only one computer is able to go on the other side of the firewall to play an Internet game or videoconference at a time. To do this you will need to use the DMZ settings in the router set up screen. First you will need to find out the IP address of the computer you want to put in the DMZ. In Win95/98 and ME click on Start and click on Run. Here type "winipcfg" and push Enter. This will bring up the IP configuration screen. In the drop down box choose the network card that you are using with the router. Here it should give you an IP in the 192.168.2.xxx range. Remember or write down that IP address and close the IP config window. In Win2000 and Win XP click Start go to Program and to Accessories. In there choose Command Prompt and type IPCONFIG at the DOS prompt. Remember or write down that IP address and close the IP config window. Now open you Internet browser and put in the router IP address, it should be 192.168.2.1, in the address bar. Log into the router and from the main screen click on Initial setup off to the left. On the next screen choose DMZ. Here you will need to click enable and type in the last digits of the IP address you just recorded earlier into the box there. Click the Enter button at the bottom to save that setting. You should now be able to use videoconferencing and Internet games. Remember to come back into the Router setup screen and disable the DMZ so that your computer can once again be put behind the firewall so it can be protected.

4.0 Troubleshooting·Internet Explorer cannot connect to Secure sites.
·Problems with F5D6230-3 router after Windows Wireless Update patch
·Restoring a Belkin router to the factory default state.
|
| (back) |
Check Firewall Configuration
Make sure that the SSL port (port 443) is open on your firewall (if you have any). There are several Firewalls, check with the manufacture of your firewall for specific instructions.
Note: The routers NAT firewall does not block outgoing requests. If you use the router as your firewall, no configuration is required.
----------
Verify that Internet Explorer Is Using 128-Bit Encryption
To check:
1. In Internet Explorer, on the Help menu, click About Internet Explorer
2. The level of encryption on your computer appears next to the words Cipher Strength. Verify that the Cipher Strength value appears as 128-bit
If the Cipher Strength is anything less then 128-bit, download the Internet Explorer High Encryption Pack to your computer's hard disk, and then install it.
----------
Delete Temporary Internet Files
There's also a possibility of some corrupted files in your Temporary Internet Files (TIF) storage. To clear these:
1. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options, and select the General tab
2. Under Temporary Internet files, click Delete Files, and click OK when you are prompted to confirm the deletion.
-------------
Configure Internet Explorer Security, Content, and Advanced Settings
Configure Security settings for the Trusted sites zone in Internet Explorer:
1. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options, and select the Security tab
2. Select Trusted sites, and then click Default Level
3. Add the secure Web site you are trying to access to the Trusted sites zone. To do so, click Sites, type the address (URL) of the site in the Add this Web site to the zone box, click Add, click OK, and then click Apply
Clear the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) slate and AutoComplete history:
1. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options, and select the Content tab
2. Under Certificates, click Clear SSL State
3. Click OK when you receive the message that the SSL cache was successfully cleared
4. Under Personal information, click AutoComplete
5. Under Clear AutoComplete history, click Clear Forms. Click OK when you are prompted to confirm the operation.
Verify that Internet Explorer is configured to use SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0:
1. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options, and select the Advanced tab
2. In the Settings box, under the Security header, click to select the Use SSL 2.0 and Use SSL 3.0 check boxes (if they are not already selected), and then click OK
-------
Verify that the Date and Time Settings on Your Computer Are Correct
Because SSL certificates have an expiry date, if the date on your computer isn't correct, it may prevent you from connecting to secure sites. To verify that your computer is configured with the correct date and time settings:
1. Click Start > click Control Panel
2. Click Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options, and then click Date and Time
3. Select the Date & Time tab
4. Check to make sure that the date and time settings are configured to use the current date and time, and then click OK

•Unplug all LAN cables from the router.
•Unplug the router power cord connector from the back of the device.
•Using a paper clip or something similar that will fit into the reset hole, press continue to hold the reset button, then carefully reinsert the power cord, making sure not to release the reset button in the process.
•Continue to hold the reset button in for at least 15 seconds after inserting the power cord, then release it. After about 10-25 seconds the router will boot and it will be set back to the original factory default settings.
By default the password on the router is left blank, and the default IP address is 192.168.2.1
Resetting the 4-Port Router to factory default:
•With the router powered on, press and hold the reset button for exactly seven seconds, this will restore the router to factory default.
•This also applies to: F5D5230-4 4-Port Cable/DSL Gateway Router, F5D6230-3 Wireless Cable/DSL Gateway Router (11Mbps), F5D6231-4 802.11b Wireless Cable/DSL Gateway Router, and F5D7230-4 Wireless G Router Resolution.
•Note: By default the password on the router is left blank, and the default IP address is 192.168.2.1

You can use a surge protector or UPS. I prefer using a uninteruptable power supply for my router.
The surge protector will protect against power surges only. A UPS will not only protect against power surges but will provide power to the router even during a power outage.
If you also connect your modem into the UPS & use notebook computers a UPS will protect you 3 ways.
1. You can download any size file without worry of being interrupted.
2. A power outage during a firmware upgrade will not result in a bricked router.
3. Protects against power surges while filtering & conditioning line voltage.

To recover from a bad flash you will need to tftp firmware to the router .
Download the router bin file to your desktop .
Disable your software firewall.
Plug a ethernet cable from any LAN port on the router to your pc's wired NIC.
Open network connections & click the Local Area Connection icon . You will then see the Local Area
Connection's status , click properties . Click on the Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) setting . Select Use the following IP address.
Type the IP address of 192.168.2.2 , Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0 , Default Gateway 192.168.2.1 then click OK.
You can leave the Preferred DNS server settings blank . You may need to reboot for the changes to take affect .
Click Start then run . In the command prompt type cmd then select OK .
In the new window type tftp -i 192.168.2.1 put then drag the bin
file from the desktop into the new window , which will automatically enter the bin file name & location . Do not hit enter .
Unplug the router AC cord then plug back in & immediatly hit enter , or hold the rest button in for 3 seconds or more then release hitting enter as soon as you release the reset button.
If the transfer is successful you will get a message saying transfer successful: 1875544 bytes in 9 seconds. If the transfer fails you will get a timeout occurred message .
It may take a few tries for the transfer to be successful so dont give up after a few failed attempts .
When the transfer completes wait 60 seconds for the router to reboot & power light to stop flashing before attempting to access the routers configuration page .
Once the router reboots return to your LAN TCP/IP setting & select obtain ip address automatically & click OK. You may need to reboot for the changes to take affect .
Turn your software firewall back on .
This recovery method also works for 3.1 & 2.2 versions of the wrt54g . When recovering a linksys use the ip address of 192.168.1.2 with a Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 , Default gateway of
192.168.1.1.

Wireless networks typically work in one of two configurations (sometimes called topologies): ad-hoc or infrastructure. The topology or mode you choose depends on whether you want your PCs to communicate directly or with an access point . In ad-hoc mode data in the network is transferred directly to and from wireless network adapters connected to PCs. A ad-hoc network is also called a peer-to-peer network .
