Hello, dear readers of the inforkomp blog. So, as you understand from the title of the article, today I want to return to the topic again: settings wireless point access. 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 using an example. Wi-Fi router Dlink Dir-300. But, if your router model is different 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 router firmware? First of all, the idea of ​​writing an article about router firmware update, but I couldn’t get it together and do it. The second reason is that recently, many of my friends have begun 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. For example, when purchasing or setting up a new device, I personally check the firmware version and, if possible, update it to the latest version. And you know what, my router has probably been working for more than a year now and has never frozen.

I believe that it is necessary to update the firmware on the router. The very meaning of updates is that when developers release new firmware versions, they correct all the shortcomings and errors that could appear when working with the Internet and the router. Moreover, the process of flashing the router itself is very easy.

Therefore, if you have serious problems with Wi-Fi, then be sure to read the article and try to reflash your Wi-Fi router.

Why reflash your router?

Well, there can be a lot of reasons to flash a router. Here are a few of them:

  • 1. The most common reason is updating the firmware for stable and high-quality operation Wi-Fi signal A;
  • 2. No device receives a Wi-Fi signal;
  • 3. The message that the smartphone and computer is constantly on;
  • 4. The Internet cable inserted into the WAN port is not visible or not detected;
  • 5. The Wi-Fi signal constantly disappears and appears; etc.

In general, there are simply a huge number of types of problems that the router firmware can help you deal with.

Preparation and selection of firmware

IMPORTANT!!!

  • Choose your firmware carefully. Do not make a mistake in determining the hardware version of the device;
  • Disconnect the Internet cable from the router, leaving only the power supply 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 the computer’s network card. You cannot update the router software using WiFi;
  • All settings, passwords and logins will be reset to factory settings. What, after the update you will have to configure it again;
  • Do not turn off the access point while flashing;

Well, let's start by determining the revision of the router and downloading the required 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, for those who have the same revision or B6, then download the firmware here: link.

Those with D link dir-300 NRU B7, download the update from this link by selecting the desired version. For owners of routers with revision B1, B2, B3, download. If you have a different router, then go here, and in the list that appears, select the device with the appropriate revision. Then, going to the folder " Firmware", in which lies latest version firmware in the form of a “bin” file.

Now, by clicking on the file, we save it to the computer.

Once again, be careful when choosing the firmware version. Because if you try to install the firmware that is required for revisions B1-3 on a router with revisions B5-7, this may cause it to break. And it will be possible to restore its functionality only at a service center by paying a certain amount for it.

Firmware for D-Link Dir 300 router

As always, for any setup, first use the technical data (password, login) indicated on the sticker. If you accidentally forgot your password, then you will need.

The web interface window 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, click on the " Choose"We will be required to find the downloaded file and open it. If the name appears next to the selection button, then everything is in order. To start the process, click on “ Update».

All that remains is to wait for the firmware update to finish and reboot the router.

The next time you enter the settings, use the standard password and check the current software version.

Also, do not forget that all settings are abandoned. Therefore, be sure not to forget. Leave comments if you have questions or need help finding the right firmware.

Updating the firmware of the D-Link Dir 300 router

We have already looked at setting up and installing a router D-Link DIR, today we will talk about flashing.

Model Definition

First of all, you need to determine the model of your router, so that you can then select the D-Link firmware we need. The model is written on the bottom of the device.

Download from the official website

Only after you have accurately determined the router model, do we proceed to downloading the firmware for the D-Link DIR-300 router. The company has a website with all its D-Link firmware, 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 called D-Link “DIR-300_NRU”. It contains programs for many models at once. Then you need to select the Firmware folder. And here we select the model that you have. For example, we have a DIR 300 NRU B7 router. 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

Go to the device settings. If anyone doesn’t 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 “System” column there is an arrow to the right, there is “Software Update”.

In the window that opens, select “browse” to select the file of interest to us. We select the file that was previously downloaded, the one with the extension “.bin”. Click the “update” button. This completes the update. Let's consider updating on other interfaces.

If the interface is old, white background, blue panels, then we act a little differently. Go to the same router settings. Enter our username and password. In the top panel there is a “System” item. A list appears where we select “Software Update”. Select our file and update the software.

D-Link router firmware interface 1.2. has marine tones, blue-green color menu on the left. 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. A dark gray menu, and in English. We select “MAINTENANCE” in the top menu, then our choice falls on “Firmware Update”, which is in the left list. Select the file and click update.

This is how we essentially update in one step software. The only problem can be the lack of Russian language in the old firmware.

Attention! It is important to understand that under no circumstances should you turn off the device, stopping the software update process.

Happy Internet to you!

Over time, technology becomes obsolete, and some devices are replaced by others - new and more efficient. The same applies to software in the field wireless technologies. What to do with a normally functioning router but with outdated firmware, don't throw it away? This article discusses the firmware of the D-link DIR 300 router.

Before proceeding with further actions, you need to understand that flashing the router carries a certain amount of risk. Sometimes it can lead to complete inoperability of the device. Therefore, you need to update the router firmware when necessary. If your router is constantly buggy or slow, updating the firmware can get it back up and running.

Attention: updating the firmware of a router whose warranty period has not yet expired will void the manufacturer's warranty.

Another important point: during the firmware update process there should be no problems with electricity. For those of you who constantly lose power, we strongly recommend connecting the router to the power supply via.

Firmware is the firmware written into the computer's CMOS. It is also used in phones, tablets, routers and other devices. In other words, this is a certain version operating system, and the process of updating it is called flashing.

First you need to download the D-link DIR 300 firmware.

In your browser's address bar, type ftp.dlink.ru and go to the firmware site. Go to the pub folder, then to the Router section.

Among the entire list of routers, find and open the DIR-300_NRU folder.

Go to the Firmware section.

Be careful in the next step. It is necessary to select the correct revision of the router model. To do this, turn the modem over and look at the contents of the barcode sticker on the bottom panel; the revision should be indicated here. In our case B1, you can have B2 - B7.

After opening the Firmware folder, select the section corresponding to your router.

Download the file with the extension bin.

What to do next? Connect the router to your computer and turn on the power. Then check the settings local network. In Windows 7, go to “Start” - “Control Panel” - “View network status and tasks” - left menu"Changing adapter settings."

Select the Local Area Connection shortcut, right-click on it and open Properties. In the window that opens, select protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click “Properties” again.

On the General tab, make sure that the following options are selected: “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain a DNS server address automatically.”

If you forgot the password to enter the settings, one of the previous articles described?

Pay attention to the top line, this shows the revision version that we looked at on the modem sticker.

If, for any reason: a sticker came off or letters were erased, you were unable to find out the revision of your device, now you can do this in the login and password entry window.

In the login and password field, enter admin; if other values ​​were set for user authentication, write your data.

In the settings interface that opens, go to the “System” – “Software Update” section.

In the appropriate window, specify the path to the firmware file with the bin extension on your computer. At the beginning of the section about updating the D-Link DIR-300 C1 firmware, it was already mentioned.

Click the “Update” button to install the software; this will take up to 2 minutes.

Sometimes, during the process of flashing the router, error messages may appear or the browser may freeze. In this case, do not take any action, but wait 5 - 10 minutes, the firmware should complete correctly.

Firmware update DIR 300 N150 revision D1

There are several versions of D-Link DIR 300 routers on the market with different firmware revisions and different appearance web interfaces.

Let's consider updating the software of the DIR 300 N150 router with revision D1 using the example of firmware 2.5.4 with the new “Air” web interface.

After entering the router settings, the following page “Start / Information” will be displayed, where the device model and firmware version are indicated.

To update the firmware, left-click on its version. The System/Software Update page opens.

Click Browse and select the update file on your computer. Then click "Update". Wait for the router to reboot (1 - 2 minutes).

The firmware update file for the DIR 300 N150 router, revision D1, can be found on the official D-Link website or by entering the following URL in the browser address bar.

ftp://ftp.dlink.ru/pub/Router/DIR-300A_D1/Firmware/

The firmware file is called 20140228_1302_DIR_300AE_2.5.4_sdk-master.bin (see picture above).

Software updates must be performed when the router is connected to a computer by wire.

If, after updating the firmware, the router does not work correctly, restore the device to factory settings. To do this, use the corresponding menu section or the hardware RESET button (press when the router is turned on and hold for 10 seconds, then release, the router should reboot).

Important! Updating the router firmware is done at your own risk. If the warranty period has not yet expired, then an independent software update (not through service center) will cancel it.

The D1 is very similar to the process with other devices, but some people still have a lot of questions.

Basically, these questions are related to downloading the “D-Link DIR-300 NRU firmware” file from the website created by D-Link, as well as questions related to the updated interface in the firmware, which is clearly seen in the example of version 2.5.n

IN this description Let's look at how to reflash the D-Link DIR-300 router by receiving the latest firmware version 2.5.n from the website for the DIR-300 D1 model and how to perform the installation correctly, provided that the router was factory-installed with firmware with additions and updates 1.0.4 . In this guide I will try to take into account all the nuances that arise during installation.

Firmware for router d link dir 300: stage 1

The explanation of how to flash DIR-300 is only suitable for routers that have the following letters on the bottom of the case: H/W: D1. If the values ​​are different, then you need to download a file with different firmware.

Where to download firmware d link dir 300

  • We go to the manufacturer’s Internet project, which is located at http://ftp.dlink.ru in order to download the file itself.
  • On it we go to the pub pack, then to the folder called Router, and then to the DIR-300 (underscore) NRU and in it we find the Firmware folder. It should be noted that inside the Router directory there are DIR-300 A D1 directories. Their differences are that one of them has an underscore, while the other does not have such a symbol, it is written in one word. To update the firmware of the D-Link DIR-300 router, you need the file that I specified.

The firmware itself is located in this directory.

They all end in .bin

When this article was written, newest file firmware was created in 2013 I will install this version in this created in 2013 I will install this version in this guide.

Preparations before installation

If you know how to get to the settings section of the connected device, then in such a case you don’t have to read this section. The only thing I would like to note is that updating the firmware of the D-Link DIR-300 router and the main changes are best made using a connection to a modem using an Ethernet cable.

If the router is disabled and the user has not performed the previously described actions:

  1. The router must be connected using a wire (supplied with the device) to a personal PC, using which the firmware will be performed. It should be noted that on a personal PC the input for network card is the LAN1 port on the device. If your mobile PC does not have such a port, you will have to skip this step. The connection occurs via Wi-Fi.
  2. Connect the device to a power outlet. When using a Wi-Fi connection, after one to two minutes a network called DIR-300 will appear, which will not be protected by a password, provided that the name and other parameters have not been changed. You need to connect to the network that appears.
  3. Open the browser and write where you usually write the URL of the desired site: 192.168.10.1. If the page does not open, you need to open the TCP/IP protocol parameters and check the box next to the inscription Obtain an IP and DNS address automatically.
  4. When the form opens in which you need to register your login and password, you must enter admin. The first time, you will be asked to change your password. If you don't change it, New Password You must not forget, as it will be useful for subsequent entries into the device settings. If the password does not work, maybe you or someone else changed it before you, you need to reset all device settings. To do this, press and hold for a while the button called Reset, which is located on the back of the router.
  5. If the above was done correctly, what we were aiming for begins: flashing the D-Link DIR-300 router.

D link dir 300 firmware update using example rev. B6

You will be shown the only option you need, it depends on the version that is installed on the router. This is the settings interface.

In case number 1, if the DIR-300 NRU rev. firmware is installed. B6 version 1.n.n, you need to follow these steps.

  • Click on the “advanced settings” item; if the Russian language is not displayed, you can change it in the Language section.
In the “system” item, click on the arrow pointing to the right
  • Next is the software update.
  • Now we indicate the firmware file that we just recently downloaded.
  • Click on the button called “update”.

Having completed all these steps, the wait for the process to end comes. And now, the D-Link DIR-300 NRU firmware is finished. If suddenly you see that the installation process has stopped, or the page has stopped, you need to go to the “notes” section, which is located a little lower.

Router d link dir 300: Beeline firmware

This paragraph is needed for users who need DIR-300 NRU firmware improved version 2.n.n. Besides, this instruction suitable if you need to install firmware on a router from Beeline.

  1. Go to the settings section
  2. A menu will open where we select “System”, then updated software. If necessary, switch to Russian.
  3. Go to the “local update” section and click on the “review” button. Next, we indicate where the *.bin file is located in file system your personal PC.
  4. Click update.

WATCH THE VIDEO

Note

If it suddenly seemed to you that while the update was taking place or while the DIR-300 firmware was being installed, the router froze. It seems like this if you notice that in the display window of the browser page where the update is taking place, a special installation bar is constantly moving.

It appears that the page is not loading. This may happen because during a software update, the connection between the personal PC and the router has stopped. You should wait two or three minutes and then connect to the device again.

When using a wired connection, recovery will occur automatically.

Then you should go into the settings again and see that the update has occurred.

Further, the necessary device settings do not differ in any way from the settings of the same models, but with different interface options. Differences in interface design are not scary. Now you know how to get the D-Link DIR-300 firmware and reflash the device. Still have questions? We write them at the bottom of the article!
