Any word on a third party firmware that opens up some more features like sveasoft for the linksys?

This issue has been discussed on DSLReports as well. Sveasoft is supposedly working on porting their firmware to the Belkin. I don't know anything more than that.

If you have an account on the Sveasoft msg board, go search for info and report back.

blahsome said:This router (at least v. 1444) has only 2MB of flash ROM; that's reportedly why third party firmware has been absent for the router. I had to eBay my router because it had packet losses and dropped connections even with the firmware that was supposed to fix these issues. YMMV.

You tried firmware v4.05.03 on your v1444 router and still had problems?? Because other people are reporting good success with this combination.

Yup. At this time I am not blaming the router per se. I have an unsual IFITL connection that the router may not be happy with. The 802.11b router, also from Belkin, actually seems to be working better for me.

I just got the Belkin G router... I read the firmware fixes for slow transfers in other versions, but the most recent version for v3000 is 5.02 or something. I did an update to the most recent downloadable firmware, but the transfers are still EXTREMELY slow. Googling revealed several common fixes for other versions (ie. firmware update) but nothing for v3000.

Signal strength is excellent, my connection is not getting dropped.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

faradhim said:Just a note,

I can bridge between the Belkin F5D7230-4 (set in access point mode) and the Motorola WGR850G wirless router (WDS mode enabled) with no problem.

Is this with Motorola-supplied firmware, or third-party? If it requires a particular Motorola firmware or hardware version, please post that as well, and I will update my WDS-compatible list.

Here is the link to the latest firmware.

It says Europe, but worked fine on my v1444 and 1112. Reports are that it will work for any version, but YMMV.

I stream from my ReplayTV on Medium quality without any glitches. Bridge from the v1112 to the v1444 in the basement, then watch programs on the second floor of my house in the opposite corner....at least 50 feet.

Hey all, I posted this over at DSLreports.com, but would appreciate if you all had any input as well...

Hey all, I'm a networking noob and am having problems with my new Belkin wireless 54g router (F5D7320, v2000).

I have two main issues...the first is more of a question, and that is that I am connected at 11.0 Mbps, when I thought this was supposed to be 54Mbps...is there something I need to change? I have the Belkin F5D7010 Notebook card (v3001)

The other is the more frustrating one...I am unable to access the router's Web-based interface. I am able to connect to the network and everything, but can't get to 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.2.254 (I did switch it to an access point, so I'm supposed to use that IP address, correct?) I was able to do this right out of the box, but for about a week now I haven't been able to. Because I'm using it as an access point, the DSL modem is assign the network IP's and the default Gateway is 192.168.0.1 Please understand that I have really no idea what this all means, but I've been trying to figure it out from reading these posts. Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thanks.

Change to a static ip address of 192.168.2.50 and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and you'll be able to get into it.

Sorry, but like I said, I'm a noob...change what? the DSL modem or something on my computer? and how? I think i can figure it out if I'm to do it on the modem, but i'm not sure about static IP on my comp...thanks for all the help.

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out...thanks for the help, it worked like a charm once I found where to change it!

Well, I can access the web interface of the router now, but without Internet...I changed the IP address of my wireless card to 192.168.2.50, but not my ethernet card, it is still 192.168.0.xx, so that's where I'm getting the web access through...still confused, please help! And if I keep my wireless set to 192.168.2.50, will i be able to access other wireless networks (such as in a coffee shop or airport, etc?) thanks again...i'm lost!

Ken

Glad you were able to figure it out. Most routers at home and at hotspots are set to automatically assign IPs to each client that is connecting to it, and thus you will not be able to access the internet with an IP you assigned yourself. So you would have to change your settings back to "obtain IP address automatically" and "obtain DNS automatically." Each time that you need to access your access point or router's web interface, then change it to static IP and it should work. Need anymore help, PM me as I do not follow threads in discussion that often.
