Don't forget that when you are in the Belkin firmware you will be addressing the router at 192.168.2.1 and upon reset to DD-WRT you will be addressing it at 192.168.1.1. You may need to unplug and replug your LAN cable to get a good re-adressing from the router or disable/enable your LAN connection. Of course you can get all IT about it and address yourself statically in these subnets but on this router I did not have to resort to any extraordinary gymnastics. It was a slam dunk. Everything works except the 5ghz and it has been up for days performing all kinds of duties.
remove the power lead . keep the wps button pressed and power the device on with the wps button pressed for 10 secs.
set a static IP adress on you nic in one of the following ranges
192.168.1.X
if this doesnt work try
192.168.2.X
if this does not work as well , reset the device with the reset button at the back and then try the static IP adress
once you have set the static ip on your nic, acces the mini web gui and load either the belkin fimrware back up again or upload the dd-wrt firmwar in this post
I have killed it like this several times today and revived it using the method mentioned above

Eko, thanks for this build!
I saw the BIG build and said what the hell, and flashed it to my Asus RT-N16
Wireless and Wired internet is fast and stable.
Interface is snappy.
Great build overall - like it a lot! _________________ Soylent Green Is People !

so I have flashed eko's latest build on the belkin play max router. attached 1gb flash drive shows up in /mnt , if i ssh into the router and LS the /mnt directory I can see the files.
but if I direct \\192.168.1.1\ , it just shows me the public folder . and I cannot write anything in here .. ???
so I went down the path of installing optware on the flash drive . and yes , I can get Midnight commander to work , but again cannot see my attached flash drive as a nas storage ??
