Hmm, I've just tried dd-wrt again on my v2000, and the WAN port still doesn't work when in "assign to switch" mode! How do I get this to work?
To clarify, "doesn't work" means that it passes packets out, but the returned replies don't make it back.
For example, on laptop DHCP request from LAN port:
Request: Laptop -> Belkin LAN -> Belkin WAN -> Upstream LAN
Reply: Upstream LAN -> Belkin WAN -> ???
The Belkin router does see the reply, but it gets lost thereafter. _________________

Brainslayer, is is possible to create a version of DD-WRT that supports the SR Ethernet vs the RG Ethernet? I opened mine up and found it has an SR chip which explains why none of the LAN ports nor the WAN port worked, as was the problem several others are having.
I'm hoping you or someone can come thru on this because this box has horrible Wireless performance with the stock firmware.

Hi all. I have Belkin F5D8235-4 v2 2033 and due to limitation of original firmware I flashed the nice DD-WRT firmware.
My problem was that the ISP use PPPoE connection and as many of you notice this didn't "work" on the DD-WRT.
I look on the forum and find some methods to debug this issue.
Seem that the problem is from some vlan's not corectly set
run the command
nvram show | grep port.vlans
The result was
port5vlans=1 2 16
port3vlans=1
port1vlans=1
port4vlans=1
port2vlans=1
port0vlans=2
After the fix running the same command the rusult was
To fix the pppoe issue I go to Setup -> VLANs and uncheck one of the port (ex port 3) click save. After this recheck the Port 3 click Save and Apply Settings.
This seems that will populate with correct value the portXvlans and the PPPoE connection work. Now I can finally use my router with a true firmware.
Hope this can help others with the same issue
i checked this thread sometime ago and thought it was dead in the water, just for giggles i checked again today and lo and behold theres life!!
Flashed firm from page 4 and voila, a firmware thats worth a crap.
for those complaining about buggyness or no wan, do a hard reset via 30 sec hold on reset button. then reboot modem and router in tandem. after that everything works no hiccups. great reception, much better throughput, oh and i noticed someone saying that the ip table chains arent set, i did a bruteforce attack and found no chinks in the armor.....
Thanks alot brainslayer and others for your work on this!
Any word on compatibility for v2110?
Ive been having all kinds of intermittent signal drops, fluctuating speed, even while I'm sitting right in front of the router. I loaded the latest fw and I would barely get any signal in the next room. I had to revert to prior fw to make the thing work.

I tried the command you suggested and mine did not return any ports or listings like the one you posted. I also do not have the VLAN tab, but I do have a Networking tab.
I changed the WLAN port assignment from vlan2 to br0 and my PPPoE started to work.
However, there is something peculiar going on with the DHCP server. I have specified the IP addresses start at after 100, but it still assigned IP addresses below 100. Also, none of the clients appear properly on the client lists.
Wireless MAC Client filtering also doesn't seem to be working for me either.
Thank you for suggesting playing around with VLAN.
Things are still unstable for me to use the router but glad to know at least the PPPoE isn't the issue for me anymore.
Hi all,
after flashing via web failed (reboot loop), I got a serial cable (CA-42) which worked.flashed from command line the original belkin firmware, the router stopped the flash at some point, after waiting around 10 minutes, I took the power plug out.
From there only the "storage" LED´s blink once its turned on, nothing more. Anybody ideas? Seems to be fully bricked now...
Just wanted to let you guys successfully updated the Belkin N+ F5D8235-4 V2000 using the post on page 4... Thanks a ton.
Everything is working the WiFi b/g/n the 4 LAN ports but all the leds are not lighting up like they used to earlier but who cares it works and now using dd-wrt the interface is super fast I was earlier using WRT54G with dd-wrt.
Will post in a few days about the stability and any issues if I have.
