Belkin F5D8231uk4 working but not working!?

First time poster and in desperate need of some help if you please.

I have purchased second hand the following router...

http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPa...duct_Id=275346

I plug it up via my Virgin modem and wire to my PC and I DO GET INTERNET but yet on the router the following L.E.D's Wireless, Wired, Internet & Modem are constantly flashing amber and the L.E.D Router constantly flashes blue. I have attempted accessing the mainframe by typing the routers IP address (192.168.2.1) into IE with no success and have also attempted a HARD RESET by the back with no success.

Looking around on some forums it seems like its a firmware update that has gone wrong. In most cases people say the router is bricked but if that is so then why do I get internet connection when I'm wired in?

I have looked into trying to access the router via command prompt and using 'telnet' (yes I have activated it in Windows 7) but don't really know what to do or how to go about it so any suggestions would be great.

Surely there must be a way of flashing the corrupt firmware out and reinstalling new firmware in?

Thankyou to everyone and anyone who takes the time to read this and even better with a reply :P
