The situation in which you need to do firmware recovery on DIR-300 routers different revisions may arise for different reasons. In addition to the failure of the firmware, when the WiFi router simply stops distributing the Internet and its web interface becomes inaccessible, it can be a simple rollback to the usual "stock" firmware after DD-WRT. Or it may be recovering from an unsuccessful flashing when the router was fed firmware from a different hardware version.
In general, the developers - the D-Link company - have foreseen a similar development of events in many modern devices made Emergency Web Server or Failsafe UI, which is essentially the same thing. Now let's figure out how to use it together.
Before doing any actions with the router, you must first download the firmware from the official D-Link server - ftp.dlink.ru:
You can find out what hardware version of DIR-300 you have on the sticker on the back cover of the case:
After that, go to the required folder on the server, look for the "Firmware" directory there and download the latest firmware version and the previous one, just in case. After that, we begin to conjure with a piece of iron. Disconnect the provider's cable and all clients from it, except for the computer from which we will do the recovery.
Then we do this - go to the Connections by local network and manually register the IP address in the TCP / IPv4 properties 192.168.0.2
, mask 255.255.255.0
and the gateway - 192.168.0.1
:
You can register the addresses of DNS servers, or you may not - this is not important, since they will not be involved. Click on OK and close the settings.
We take our DIR-300 in our hands and hold down the button Reset:
Keeping it pressed, turn off the power of the router with the other hand and turn it on again. We wait 15 seconds and release Reset.
Now you need to launch the Internet browser and fill in the address in the address bar - http://192.168.0.1. The result should be like this:
There may be one more nuance here. Earlier DIR-300 models had an emergency recovery interface at a different address. Therefore, if your router does not respond to 192.168.0.1, then again go to the properties of the TCP / IP protocol and register this kind of ay-pi:
IP: 192.168.20.80
mask: 255.255.255.0
In the address bar of the browser, you also need to enter the address 192.168.20.81:
The interface of the Emergency Web Server and Failsafe UI is actually one to one - the file selection button and the flashing start button. Click on "Browse" and select the downloaded firmware file. Then click on "Upload" and wait for the end of the process.
What do we have as a result? Working D-Link DIR-300 router! All good!
Today we will look at the process of flashing the D-link Dir-300 router, which is extremely popular in Russia. Despite the fact that the process of flashing this router is not particularly difficult, sometimes the novice user is confused by this task. I will explain to you how to flash D-link Dir-300 in the form of a simple and accessible instruction. We will also find out where download the firmware for Dir-300, without fear of downloading a virus instead of firmware. So let's get started.
Preparing for D-link Dir-300 firmware
If you have already connected the router and know how to enter the admin panel at 192.168.0.1, you can skip the preparation process. For everyone else, let's write a few words about connecting the Dir-300.
1. Connect the router with the supplied cable to the network card of the computer from which you will update the firmware. LAN1 port - to the computer network card. If you only have Wi-fi on your device, it doesn't matter, we will flash over Wi-fi.
2. Turn on the router. If you will be flashing via Wi-fi, then connect to the unsecured DIR-300 network. If you have already tried to configure the router and cannot connect to wireless network (forgot the password that was set on Wi-fi), then reset the settings to factory settings. To do this, hold down the "reset" button for about 10 seconds (until the router blinks all the lights), then wait 30 seconds and feel free to connect to the unprotected Dir-300 network.
3. Open your favorite browser and type 192.168.0.1 into the address bar of the router's web interface. If the page does not open, make sure that in the settings network connection (in the properties of the TCP / IP protocol) there are parameters "Obtain IP and DNS automatically"
4. Enter the initial username / password - admin / admin. If the password does not fit, check the keyboard layout or reset the router.

As you can see, the process d-Link firmware Dir-300 is extremely similar for all modifications of this router. I think I explained the principle of the firmware quite clearly.
Note to the firmware of the D-Link DIR-300 router.
If it seems to you that the router is frozen during the firmware process, because the firmware download bar is moving endlessly, or the browser reports that the page is not available - most likely it is not. It's just that during the firmware process, the connection between the router and the computer is interrupted and you need to wait a couple of minutes until it is restored or update the page yourself after a while. I hope my article on D-Link DIR-300 router firmware has helped you.
We have already reviewed the configuration and installation of the D-Link DIR router, today we will talk about flashing.
Model definition
First of all, you need to determine the model of your router, in order to then select the D-Link firmware we need. The model is painted on the bottom of the device.
Download from the official site
Only after you have precisely identified the model of the router, proceed to downloading the firmware to the D-Link DIR-300 router. The company has a website with all its D-Link firmwares, which greatly simplifies our task. Go to the address - http://ftp.dlink.ru/pub/Router/ This page contains programs for all routers of the company we are interested in. In this list, we need to find our device.
At this point, follow the link with the name D-Link "DIR-300_NRU". It contains programs for many models at once. Then you need to select the Firmware folder. And here we choose the model that you have. For example, we have dIR router 300 NRU B7. For you, this could be, for example, NRU B5. In the folder where we went, there is a file with the extension ".bin". We download this file.
Software Update
We go to the device settings. If anyone does not know, then in the browser you just need to go to the site 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. If the page interface is designed in dark gray tones, then click on the "Advanced settings" link, it is located in the lower left corner, as shown in the screenshot.
In the column "System" there is an arrow to the right, there is "Update software».
In the window that has opened, select "review" to select the file of interest to us. We select the file that was downloaded before, the one with the extension ".bin". Click the "update" button. This completes the update. Consider updating on other interfaces.
If the interface is old, white background, blue panels, then we act a little differently. We go into the same router settings. We enter our username and password. IN top panel there is an item "System". A list appears where we select "Software Update". We select our file and update the software.
D-Link router firmware interface 1.2. has nautical tones, blue-green menu color on the left. We select "System", "Software update". After these steps, as usual, select the file and update.
There is also an older D-LINK DIR-300 firmware, version 1. Dark gray menu, in English. We select "MAINTENANCE" in the upper menu, then our choice falls on "Firmware Update", which is in the left list. Select the file, click update.
This is how we essentially update the software in one step. The only problem can be the lack of Russian in the old firmware.
Attention! It is important to understand that in no case should you turn off the device by stopping the software update process.

Hello dear readers of the inforkomp blog. So, as you understood from the title of the article, today I want to return to the topic again: wireless access point settings. To be more precise, I want to talk about: how to flash a router and why do it... I will show the process of resetting the software with an example Wi-FI router Dlink Dir-300... But, if your router model differs from the one shown here, it's okay, the process itself is the same, except that only the design of the settings window and the name of the menu items will differ.
Why did I decide to write specifically about the firmware of the router? First of all, the idea to write an article about router firmware update, but not how I could not get myself together and do it. The second reason is that recent times, many acquaintances began to ask me exactly this question: how to flash a router, what to press and what firmware to use.
As a rule, many users initially try to update it before. For example, personally, when buying or setting up a new device, I check the firmware version and, if possible, update it to the latest version. And you know what, for probably more than a year my router has been working and has never frozen.
I believe that updating the firmware on the router is a must. The very meaning of the updates is that the developers, releasing new firmware versions, fix all the shortcomings and errors that could appear when working with the Internet and a router. Moreover, the process of flashing the router itself is very easy.
Therefore, if you are having serious problems with Wi Fi, then be sure to try reflashing your WI-Fi router after reading the article.
Why reflash a router
Well, there can be many reasons to flash a router. Here are a few of them:
- 1. The most commonplace reason is the firmware update for stable and high-quality work Wi-Fi signala;
- 2. No device picks up the Wi Fi signal;
- 3. The message is constantly on that the smartphone and the computer;
- 4. The cable with the Internet inserted into the WAN port is not visible or not detected;
- 5. Wi-Fi signal constantly disappears and appears; etc.
In general, there are just a huge number of problems with which the router firmware will help to cope.
Preparation and selection of firmware
IMPORTANT!!!
- Choose your firmware carefully. Do not be mistaken in determining the hardware version of the device;
- Disconnect the Internet cable from the router, leaving only power and connection to the computer;
- You should only flash the router using network cable, which we connect to any port of the access point (except WAN), and the other side to network card computer. Update router software from using WiFi it is impossible;
- All settings, passwords and logins will be reset to factory settings. That, after the update, you will have to configure it again;
- Do not turn off the access point while flashing;
Well, let's start by defining the router revision and downloading the correct firmware. In order to find out the hardware version, we need to turn the device over and look at the sticker with technical information... I have this " H / W Ver .: B5"And" F / W Ver .: 1.2.94»Therefore, whoever has the same revision or B6, then download the firmware here: link.
For those who have Dlink dir-300 NRU B7, download the update from this link by selecting the version you want... For owners of routers with revision B1, B2, B3 download. If you have another router, then go here, and in the list that appears, select the device with the appropriate revision. Then, going to the folder " Firmware", Which contains the latest firmware version in the form of a" bin "file.
Now, by clicking on the file, save it to your computer.
Once again, be careful with the choice of the firmware version. Because if you try to install the firmware that is required for revisions B1-3 on a router from revisions B5-7, it may break it. And it will be possible to restore its performance only in service centerby paying a certain amount for this.
D-Link Dir 300 router firmware
As always, at any setting, first, using the technical data (password, login) indicated on the sticker. If you accidentally forgot your password, then you will need it.
A window of the web interface of our device will open.
To start updating the router firmware, you need to go to the following menu items: " System» -> « Software Update».
In the firmware update menu, clicking on the " Select»We will need to find the downloaded file and open it. If a name appears next to the selection button, then everything is in order. To start the process, click on " Refresh».
All that remains is to wait until the firmware update is completed and the router rebooted.
The next time you enter the settings, we use standard password and check the current software version.
Also, do not forget that all settings are abandoned. Therefore, be sure to remember. Leave comments if you have questions or need help finding the correct firmware.
