I really hope so..
Mate, read my post...

That's the same router I have, and what I did worked. You just have to update its firmware using a pc, with your Hero turned OFF, completelly OFF.

Be sure to upgrade using the correct firmware, it's the SECOND from this link:

Belkin : Support : F5D8233-4 N Wireless Router - Firmware Update

the one that says 3.01

And if you're unable to connect after flashing it, use a paper clip to reset the modem, then you'll be able to connect either through wifi or ethernet cable and enter the router admin again. Also make sure you change the router access password as soon as you connect to it!

Don't save your previous settings, because in my case restoring them after the upgrade turned the router to stop working again. But completely. That's why the paper clip...

Mine is working perfectly now with the flashed firmware, confirming Slug's theory.

If you have any doubts or don't know how to do it, let me know and I'll post a step-by-step tutorial. And last but not least: I'm not responsible if you don't do it correctly (just in case... We never know who we find on the Internet)

I hope you can do it too, as I did. Else, again, let me know here and I post a detailed tutorial.
