-**DO NOT TRY TO FLASH MODEL V1000** that uses f5d8235v1_ww_1.01.28.bin. IT WILL BRICK! Also I do not recommended flashing any Belkin with this software. +**CAUTION** 
-What works here [[https://www.belkin.com/us/support-article?articleNum=4854|Belkin support page]] will not be the same when you use this software. I used v1 instead of v2 due to the Ethernet port problem.+Before starting any of these endeavors if your router does not have a serial port from factory make one first for disaster recovery with USB to TTL Serial Cable and solder it to the unoccupied 9-pin USB 2.0. That possibly explains why there are reports of USB 3.0 not working when going serial.

 +F5D8235-4 v1 sticker with GUI showing V1000 that uses stock f5d8235v1_ww_1.01.28.bin firmware is a high brick risk[[https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Belkin_F5D7230-4_v2xxx_and_Lower| Read this if you are thinking about flashing Belkin with this software.]] If you are so daring reset modem before and after attempting any OpenWrt.  
 +What works here [[https://www.belkin.com/us/support-article?articleNum=4854|Belkin support page]] will not be the same when you use this software. I used v1 instead of v2 due to the Ethernet port problem. My results were worse. Serial to TTL is being sent to me from China as RadioShack is out of business! If it is any assurance if things go South a new and better plus smaller AC extender is $20 whereas a used F5D8235-4 is $30 that only produces N.
  
-I had my Belkin sitting as an Access Point with non-standard IP addressingI have a rep around town at fixing bricks professionally. This is my first brick and I credit it exclusively to this free software not being right. //Also I followed this site where there are testimonials of people doing this error-free using the GUI menu to flash with this model specifically. I did use the GUI menu method//.+What falsely encouraged me were the [[https://forum.openwrt.org/t/belkin-f5d8235-4-v1-lede-installation/4754/2|testimonials]] of people doing this error-free using the GUI menu to flash. I did use the GUI menu method and failed to reset modem first. There are no organized uniform instructions and this is 2 projects combined. **USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.**
