Out-of-the-box factory firmware upgrade

To install dd-wrt on either a D-Link DIR-300 Revision B1 or a D-Link DIR-600 Revision B1, you need to
flash it directly from the router's web admin page (yes, that is correct... from D-Link's standard web interface).
These are the steps to follow:
1. Download the latest firmware from: http://dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database , and enter the
model as DIR-600 or DIR300 as appropriate. There will be two files,
"dlink-revb-factory-webflash.bin" and "dir600-revb-ddwrt-webflash.bin" /
"dir300-revb-ddwrt-webflash.bin". You only need the factory-webflash file.
2. Connect to the DIR-600/DIR-300 using an ethernet cable.
3. Open http://192.168.0.1/ in your web browser, which should open the DIR600's/DIR300's
administrative page from the standard D-link firmware.
1. The D-link's default login details are user "admin", password is blank, and type the captcha
from the image.
2. Maintenance -> Firmware Update
3. Click "browse" button -> select the "dlink-revb-factory-webflash.bin" file -> click "Upload"
button.
4. Wait 2 or 3 minutes for the DIR-600/DIR-300 to flash and do the update. (it should have
finished when your browser tries to connect after the reboot, and probably fails because the IP
address has changed). After the flash & update is done, the router will reboot to dd-wrt, and
the IP address will have changed to 192.168.1.1. There is no need to do any reset.
4. Open http://192.168.1.1/ in web browser. Will probably have to update your IP address (if using static
IP) to this subnet to be able to connect. This should open DD-WRT's web interface. Configure
DD-WRT as desired.
5. You're finished!
Alternate Install Method using Emergency Room Web
Interface
1. Setup your PC with static IP on 192.168.0.0 subnet.
2. Make sure the PC has the following two files:
♦ dlink-revb-factory-webflash.bin
♦ dir300-revb-ddwrt-webflash.bin (or the 600 equivalent, depending on whether you have the
300 or 600)
3. Open your web browser and get it ready to connect to 192.168.0.1.
4. Press and HOLD the reset button on the router and connect power. Hold the reset button for about
3~5 seconds, then release.
5. Connect the browser to http://192.168.0.1/ . The Emergency Room Updating Firmware screen should
display.
6. Browse to and upload the first image file, the 'factory' one.
7. When you see the message "IMAGE UPLOAD SUCCESS", the flash will begin to be erased and
re-written.
