Wireless router or, as it is more simply called, wifi router D-Link DIR-300 NRU B7 is one of the latest models of DIR-300 series routers from D-Link - one of the most affordable and very common with us. And this is the first DIR-300 that has undergone significant changes in design compared to its predecessors; however, it is not about that. In this manual, we will talk about how to update the firmware on this device, where to download the firmware for the DIR-300 B7, and why you need router firmware at all.

Why might a router firmware be required?

In some cases, and this applies to the D-Link router to a greater extent than routers from other manufacturers, it is possible to achieve the full operation of the router and all its functions only after installing the latest firmware for this device. However, sometimes the latest official firmware also turns out to be unstable, in this case they select the one that works most adequately on specific device or looking for an alternative firmware. Here we will also look at how to install the latest official firmware on D-Link DIR-300 rev.B7, in most cases, for normal operation to the Internet, both by wire and via Wi-Fi, this is enough.

Before flashing DIR-300 NRU B7

The first thing to do before proceeding directly with updating the firmware of the router is to download the latest firmware for DIR-300 NRU B7 from the official D-Link website:


Also, before you begin to perform any actions with the router, it is recommended to disconnect the provider's cable from it (if connected) and all devices connected to it via wireless WiFi networks. Connection with the computer from which the firmware will be made is carried out using network cable, which from the side of the router is desirable to connect to the LAN1 connector.

One last thing: if this is the first time you have connected the DIR-300 NRU B7 to your computer, also make sure that in the connection settings by local network installed:

  • Obtain an IP address automatically
  • Get an address DNS servers automatically

At this preparatory stage is over, let's move on to the flashing itself.

  1. When prompted for a login and password, enter the values ​​\u200b\u200bthat are standard for all D-Link routers - admin and admin. If you have changed these values, enter your own. If you have not changed them, but the standard login and password do not fit, but correct password unknown, you will have to reset the router to factory settings. To do this, press and hold the Reset button on the back of the device for about 10 seconds, then release it and give the router about a minute to reboot.
  2. You will be taken to home page settings of the DIR-300 B7 router, here you should select the link "Advanced settings" at the bottom of the page.
  3. On the advanced settings page, in the "System" item, click the small double arrow to the right shown there, then select the "Software Update" item.
  4. Click the "Browse" button and specify the path to the latest router firmware file that was downloaded earlier.
  5. Click the Update button.

After you click on the specified button, the process of flashing the DIR-300NRU B7 router will begin. During this, things can happen such as disconnection from the router, errors in the browser, and others. They should not scare or embarrass you: most likely, everything goes on as usual. Just wait about 5 minutes or until you get a message that the software update was successful.

Hello, I have already written a lot in various articles about the settings of Dlink routers. And I received a lot of comments with the question of changing the firmware or restoring the firmware.

Wireless Router D link dir-300 is a kind of dinosaur among routers of its class, suffice it to say that after the first Dlink dir-300 model became outdated, various analogues of Dlink dir-300 B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7 began to appear, which are superior in speed and functionality its prototype.

Be sure to find out the hardware revision (H/W) of your router before updating the firmware. To do this, look at the glued label, which is located at the bottom of the router. This sticker has an inscription that begins with "H/W Ver.:". The letter and number following it shows the hardware revision, also pay attention to the firmware version "F/W Ver.:"

IMPORTANT NOTE! DIR-300 H/W Revision (hardware revisions) A1 and B1 are DIFFERENT devices, having different SoCs (System-on-a-Chip, "system-on-a-chip"), and, accordingly, incompatible firmware.

The Rev B1 router is based on the Ralink RT3050 SoC, and according to all reports, including "Dlink's FCC test report", its PCBA ( printed circuit board) is exactly the same as in DIR-600.

By default, the router has an IP address of 192.168.0.1, the login is "admin", with an empty password.

To install DD-WRT on your D-Link DIR-300 Revision B1-B3, you just need to flash it directly from the standard web interface.

Firmware installation

  1. http://dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database by selecting the DIR-300 B1 model. There are two files there, "" and "dir300-revb-ddwrt-webflash.bin". You only need factory-webflash, save it to your computer
  2. We connect the network card of the computer with any LAN port on the DIR-300 using an Ethernet cable. The cable must be used "straight"!
  3. If you have installed automatic receipt IP addresses, the computer will receive an address from the DHCP server of the router, from the subnet range 192.168.0.0/24. Or assign an address from the specified subnet in the properties of the network interface manually. For those who like to ask again: set the IP address 192.168.0.10, mask 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.0.1.
  4. We launch the browser (it is best to use) and type the address http://192.168.0.1/ - a standard form will open with a login / password to enter the router's web interface.
    1. The default login is "admin", the password is empty; also dial the confirmation code from the picture.
    2. Go to Maintenance -> Firmware Update.
    3. Click "browse" -> select the downloaded file " dlink-revb-factory-webflash.bin" -> click "Upload".
    4. WE WAIT for 2-3 minutes while the DIR-300 uploads the image and updates. IN THE PROCESS OF THE FIRMWARE DO NOT DISCONNECT THE POWER, DO NOT RESET! It is best to sew a router in general by connecting it (and a computer) to the UPS.
    5. The router will go to reboot, and in the browser we will receive a response about non-existent page(because the DIR address has changed). If the firmware is successful, the router will download DD-WRT and its LAN IP address will change to 192.168.1.1.
  5. We go to the address http://192.168.1.1/ (you may have to change the IP address on the computer, if it was manually set, to the corresponding one from the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet) - the DD-WRT web interface should open. A small subtlety - at the first start, the router will ask you to change the default login / password (root / admin).
  6. Next, we configure DD-WRT as you need, remembering to apply the changes.

How to update DD-WRT firmware

Download the latest firmware from http://dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database by selecting the DIR-300 B1 model. There are two files there, "dlink-revb-factory-webflash.bin" and "". You only need ddwrt-webflash, save it to your computer.

  1. Open the DD-WRT web interface in a browser. The default is http://192.168.1.1/ .
  2. Go to Administration -> click "Firmware Upgrade"
  3. Click "browse" -> select the saved file " dir300-revb-ddwrt-webflash.bin" -> click "Upgrade".
  4. We wait about 1.5-2 minutes while the router uploads the image and updates. Then the browser will refresh the page, so everything went well.
  • Be sure to reboot the router after a successful flashing (that is, turn it off and on)

DD-wrt supports Russian out of the box, which is very convenient.

I will give an example of the download speed of a torrent on an updated firmware.

How to return the official D-Link firmware

The firmware update procedure can also be used to return to the router original firmware. Download the firmware from the official D-Link FTP (ftp://ftp.dlink.ru/pub/Router/DIR-300_NRU/Firmware/) and flash the router as described in the "How to update the DD-WRT firmware" section (of course, official firmware). Also, at the same time, it is necessary to reset the router settings to factory settings by selecting the appropriate item in the firmware update menu.

Method #2. Firmware recovery via Emergency Room.

  1. Let's reset to factory reset our router, you can use the DD-WRT web interface.
  2. We pull out the cable of the provider (Internet), leaving only the connection with the computer - "direct" (blue from the kit), connecting the PC and the LAN1 port of the router.
  3. We prescribe on network computer static address 192.168.0.10, subnet mask 255.255.255.0
  4. We pull out the power supply, hold down the reset button and, without releasing the button, insert power, wait for the router to load (it takes 15 seconds, count up to 25). Then we release the button.
  5. Open Firefox (IE, Opera failed to start, and did not understand why), go to http://192.168.0.1 - the Emergency room opens. We select the firmware file downloaded from the official FTP D-Link (let the path to the file be on English language, type С:\temp\DIR300B1_v201_97rg.bin) and click "Upload Now". A message will appear that the file is uploaded and flashed, and the countdown is on. After rebooting the router, you get it in its original form.
