Problem with Belkin wireless router F5D7230-4

Hi everyone..

A few days back i got a Belkin F5D7230-4 and from the day-one it has
not worked properly. I can browse the web from the connected computers
but when it comes to download something from the internet it just
hangs.. no single download has been ever completed.. hangs aournd
400-500KB of each download progress. FYI, the motorola Cable modem
SB-5100 works just fine, it the Belkin thats problematic. Can anyone
help please?

You can try and re-flash the router with the latest version of the firmware
as some times the firmware is a bad install in the router for one that's new
out of the box and may need to be reinstalled.

When i remove the router from the equation the problem goes away. The
"internet" LED is solid green mostly but blinks every 25-27 seconds. It
should remain solid green throughout the session. This router (a single
antenna version i.e, versios 4000 US model) came with firmware version
6.00.10. It also has "saving settings" problem. Changed settings could
not be saved, not even once. I searched the belkin website and found a
newer version of firmware i.e, 6.00.21, but it was meant for UK model,
but i ended up upgrading the US firmware with UK firmware. The effect
was that the "changed settings" could be saved successfully but the
primary problem remained there.
BTW, i didnt try out the FTP download since the FTP link you gave didnt
work at all. Any new suggestions? And THANKS a lot for the prompt reply.
