Re: Some belkin routers get official dd-wrt support

Hi, I am not very good documenting stuff. It was mostly along the lines of the method documented in dd-wrt wiki and the forum there. Specifically, check the following link:
»wrt-wiki.bsr-clan.de/ind ··· R-HP-G54

The main difference being that the Belkin router has the address of 192.168.2.1 with the stock firmware. After you successfully flash the dd-wrt firmware, it will be 192.168.1.1. I flashed the generic micro build and it recognized the router as Belkin v1444.

I had to try few times as well. For some reason, it didn't work with my desktop. But, I was able to flash from my laptop.

Give it a try and post here if you have specific questions. As usual, do it at your own risk.

Thanks guys,

degauss1: "set the command up and hit enter WHILE THE ROUTER IS OFF. Then plug in the router." Tried it, still no dice.

pvenkat: I will give it try, when I get motivated again.

Yes. I can ping and connect to the Belkin Web Interface.

Tried the procedure for Buffalo with the Belkin set to 192.168.2.1. In some tries, I had the Belkin being pinged continuously. I can see when the pinging starting to be successful and tried turning on the Belkin at various points of time. No joy. Tried turning on the Belkin at different time without the pinging. Same non-success.

I think it's time for me to move on to tackle other more enjoyable challenges of life, such as tending to my garden. Thanks guys. Cheers.

Same here. I tried everything to get this F5D7231-4 to accept the DDWRT firmware,but nothing works.I wish BrainSlayer would develope a specific firmware just for Belkin routers.

Has anyone gotten DD-WRT to work on a Belkin ver 1443 router? It has 2 meg of flash and 16 megs of ram unlike the ver 1444 which has 2 meg flash and 8 megs of ram.

It will not boot just stays in a tftp transfer mode or it runs a boot cycle and then reboots. It will even go as far as broadcasting ssid and then reboot.

It acts like the reset button is reversed.

Please post your problem in dd-wrt forum and we will together resolve your reboot problem. The proper detection for your v1443 must be added.

OK. Posted in the dd-wrt forum. Hopefully this can be fixed easily.

EDIT: I got DD-WRT micro .v23 SP1 RC6 to load on my Belkin F5D7231-4

reply to EKO I have tried to register in the dd-wrt forum but I don't get a email reply. I was registered before but cannot remember password and I keep getting wrong email address when I try to retreave it.

FYI I did get DD-WRT micro loaded once I DID NOT REST TO DEDAULTS everything seemed functional even WAN port worked but upon rebooting it would not I had to attach to serial port cfe said read error.

When I did a nvram show it locked as if nvram was too long and ran out of memory.

I reflashed and it kept rebooting. I did notice resetbutton set to default during the boot process.

Has anyone got this working with a v1111 F5D7230-4 router or similar? It is the one with the mini-PCI card and 4mb flash/ 16mb ram. Would I be able to use the full version (or VPN version) with this router?

Thanks for the link, but the only mention of DD-WRT was that it worked with v1443 and v2000 routers. It still doesn't answer my question.

Well,I got it to load onto my F5D7231-4.I had to do a Hard Reset ,and use a TFTP loader to get it to load thou. You can try that,but beware you could brick your router.

I set the TFTP to 20 attempts,and as the router was rebooting from the hard reset it accepted the firmware.

I have dd-wrt flaashed on my ver 1112 4 meg flash 16 megs ram

But I had to first flash airlinkplus firmware for the rt210.

Try first with dd-wrt first you will need to tftp flash and if the router goes into a constant reboot cycle then tftp flash airlinkplus and then dd-wrt.
