[TriEmbed] Belkin N300 F7D6301 - Open WRT Issue

[Carl Nobile]

Vikram,

I have used third party images before and you are lucky the updater is
telling you that the image you are trying to upload has failed. Many
updaters don't bother telling you and just lets you update the wrong image
with the result beeing a bricked unit only thereafter usable as a door stop.

So what I'm saying is, you didn't get the correct image for your unit. With
these third party images you need the exact right one, something close will
brick the unit.
