[OpenWrt-Users] Belkin N1 router - F5D8231-4 v5000

[Ivo van Geel]

Hi DragonK,

The CPU seems to be a Ralink RT2880 
(http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/data/RT2880.pdf).
This kind of CPU is also used in the T-Com Speedport W700V (see 
http://wiki.openwrt.org/TableOfHardware).

Support for this CPU is a Work In Progress, there is no running version 
of OpenWRT available for this CPU, yet. 
(http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Hardware/T-Com/Speedport_W700V)
It is going to be very, very difficult to create a running version of 
OpenWRT for your router.


Kind regards,
Ivo van Geel.
