[TriEmbed] Belkin N300 F7D6301 - Open WRT Issue

[vikram sai balaji ulaganathan]

Doing some more research, I found Belkin's firmware online and tried using
binwalk and found a signature and lzma compressed data. Hopefully I can
read more and get it going. Thanks Carl for the response.

If anyone has experience with such a bin file would like to hear about it.
