Eko,
I found this preliminary datasheet. Pin 5 seems to be bidirectional and set the Isolation state on reset when it is pulled high. It sais that it has an internal pulldown resistor, but it may have external circuits that pull it up?
So, the init code change from openwrt seem to set register 0, bit 10 to 0 . That would stop isolation.
When I find some time I will open my box and see if I can pull pin 5 with a 10k resistor down to ground.
But I've seen v1xxx with broken WAN port - even with original firmware - maybe this is your case too. Or try to connect somewhere other then your Linksys....
the ddd-wrt worked on my v1000 untill i changed the dns addresses via the webinterface. After that no connection via wan anymore; not via dhcp nor via static. Flashed back to original firmware & it worked again..

Must have been configuration problem - not hardware problem.
there was no way to get it back working. The only thing i had changed in the dns settings was that i had added the IPs of my ISP's dns servers. So I should at least still have been able to ping the dsl modem which was connected to the WAN port of the router. There was no way to connect to it anymore however.
Thanks a lot for compiling all that extra code. I realy apreciate your help.
I connected directly to my cable modem (Motorola SB5120) without the Linksys between. Same story, WAN does not work after restart or switching the power off. When I do the power connector in-out-in-out-in (on-off-on-off-on) wiggle thingy it starts working.
When I load Askey (RT210) or Belkin firmware it just works at every startup with no hickups.
I think, I had the same expirence like "pc01". It seems, it worked the very first time I loaded dd-wrt code. I was impressed. And as soon as I started setting it up for fixed IP and changed some other settings, it would not work anymore.
I realy like the dd-wrt Interface, so I will stay with dd-wrt, even if I have to do the reset thingy after a restart. I can live with that.
I specialy like the wlan site survey and see the router receiving signal strength, noise and which channels are already in use. You have a clean and easy user interface.
If you have any other ideas, I am happy to try them out.
This seems to work just great.
I had dd-wrt-v4097 still running. So I just TFTP'd this new dd-wrt-v4204 to the Belkin box. It came right back and Wan is working.
I did power off and back on. It is still working with all my wireless and time zone settings.
Great !!!
When I have some spare time I will do a "restore factory defaults" and I will go back to Belkin firmware and see if it still works when I load v4202 again.
Thanks Eko and everybody else working on this project
