I have a Belkin N1 Router. Model Number F5D8231-4

I've been having a bad perfomance issue with it and wanted to upgrade the firmware.

However in the upgrade menu, the box is greyed out so it won't let me select a new firmware. This wasn't always so.

Any Ideas Guys

Thanks I Advance

 
just noticed mine was like that too. didnt know there was an update im still on F5D8231-4_WW_2.01.19
 
Hi guys has anyone managed how to get a new firmware on?? My browse button will not highlight so i cant get any firmware on it.
Tried a factory reset and its still the same. Also Cannot connect to the firmware information server, when i click the check firmware button i just get .
Cannot connect to the firmware information server,
please double check the wan connection. Wish i had stayed with my netgear to be honest Belkin seems to be a nightmare.

same here m8, the update feature never detected updates so always did manually but cant now either way
 
Mine was fine until i put 2.01.19 on it now i'm stuck like i said, no options left cant auto or manualy upgrade.Bloody Belkin knew i shouldnt have been lured in by those sexy blue icons the netgear was dull but worked a treat. lol
 
Dont it just ,got a bit of a blue led problem need therapy. lol They could put blue leds in just about anything and i would buy it. Mrs hates it ,says it looks like Blackpool in our livingroom. Shes got no taste.lol
 
goes really well with my other equipment. Black samsung lcd, black xbox, black dvd player, black modem, etc.. Couldnt have gone for anything else. Although looking to move modem and router upstairs now so probably can change now. Thing is i do generally like the router and when its workin it works well. Just wanted to upgrade this blasted firmware.
 
Goes good with my stuff too. I like the router good looking,good range, nice features, just not reliable drops connection with my sip phones and my laptop sometimes also when i turn different pc's on it sometimes won't dish out a dhcp address. Things i have in the ethernet slots work great dreambox/dbox snapserver lan server etc just the wireless side of things give me grief.
 
i think the V3 firmware are for the V3 version modems.

For me the upgrade doesnt connect to server either
 
Hi guys, first post... I was looking for an update although not got any serious problems with the router.

The version number is to do with the router itself. So for instance I've got hardware version 2 and therefore the firmware update will be 2.something.something, ie 2.01.19. Not sure how the come up with the end digits but I guess you could say the latest version for people with version 2 hardware is 01.19.

For those of you still having this problemm, I did some quick testing and found the problem was caused by trying to update while connected through wireless. You need to be connected through the lan port to do the upgrade. When connected through the lan port, the button is not greyed out.
