If you need DIR-300 firmware, then here you will find all the information you need. It is worth noting a few points:

• If during flashing your electricity goes out, then there is a chance to break the router. Therefore, first make sure that the electricity is stable and the power cables are working. You can connect D-link DIR 300 through the UPS for the duration of the firmware.
• Self-updating the firmware will void the warranty.

Why might an update be required? Sometimes you don’t even need an update, but a reinstallation of an existing firmware version. The reasons:

• The internet is slow and buggy.
• Requires new features that have appeared in the new version of the software.

Firmware is like a driver or operating system for a router. Firmware written to the device's read-only memory. To get started, you need to download it.

Brief instruction

In short, the very essence of how to reflash:

• Download firmware for D-link DIR 300 from ftp.dlink.ru.
• Go to the router page 192.168.1.1 (or 192.168.0.1).
• Head to the "Maintenance" section, then "Firmware Update".
• Select the firmware file, click "Upload".
• Wait 2 minutes while the router installs the firmware. Everything.

Now everything is the same, but more detailed.

firmware download

• It weighs only a few megabytes. In the address bar, write the address dlink.ru, then go to the official website of the router developer, this is ftp with firmware.
• In the folder called pub, find the Router section.



• After that, find the folder with the firmware for your model and revision of the router, in our example it is DIR-300_NRU.



• Next, head to the Firmware folder.




• Now you need to find out the revision of the DIR router. You need to take your router, turn it over, and see what is written on the sticker on the bottom side.
• In this case it's B1, you could have A1/B1/C1/D1/B3/B5/B7/B6.



• After opening the ftp folder called Firmware, select the section that matches your DIR300 router model.



• Download firmware. This is a small file with a bin extension.

Connecting the Router to a PC

Connect D-link to your computer via patch cord. You can reflash from ordinary stationary PCs, laptops and netbooks. Turn on the router. You need to check your network settings.



• In Win7, go to "Start", then to "Control Panel", then "View Network Status and Tasks".
• Find the link "Change adapter settings" in the left menu. Find the icon for connecting by lok. network, go to connection properties.
• A window will open, select protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) there and click the "Properties" button.



• On the “General” tab, check if the settings are set: “Obtain an IP address automatically”, as well as “Obtain DNS server address automatically”.

Now directly to the firmware update.

Flashing




• Open the browser, write 192.168.1.1 instead of the site address, you will go to the page generated by the router.
• Enter your login and password to access the DIR 300 settings. If you did not set a password, then simply write admin.
• On the router page, you can find out the revision version (marked with a light green arrow at the top), this is necessary in case you have a sticker on the bottom of the router that has become stuck or peeled off.
• Go to the "Maintenance" section, then to "Firmware Update. Then scroll down to "Firmware upgrade" then "Select file".
• Find on your computer the downloaded official firmware from D-link. After that click "Upload".



• The firmware update of the router will begin, it will take exactly 2 minutes. Do not unplug the router during this time, otherwise it may cause damage.




• When the update is over, you will be transferred to the login and password window.
• Look at the top line, if you updated the firmware to a new version, then there should be changes. If you just reflashed (by analogy, like reinstalling Windows), then the same firmware version number will be waiting for you.

When the firmware of the DIR-300 router is reinstalled, the Internet settings do not change. You can immediately continue using your computer.

Firmware for D-Link DIR-300 C1




• To reflash the D-Link DIR-300 C1 router, you need to download the firmware file (.bin) from here.




• Then download the zip archive from here.




• Make sure your router is connected to your computer (laptop or netbook) with a cable connection and not via Wi-Fi.
• Unpack the downloaded zip archive on your computer and run the dcc.exe program.
• This will launch D-Link Click'n'Connect. In it, select "Connect and configure the device."

Update the software, it's easy - tips will help. As a result, not the latest, but working firmware for this model will be installed. If the operation of the router suits you, then you can not continue.

Update D-Link DIR-300 C1 to the latest version

But if you want to update the D-Link DIR-300 C1 software to the latest firmware, then…

• Go to the router settings, find the "System" section, then "Software Update".
• There, select the firmware bin file (we downloaded it earlier).
• Then click "Update" - wait for the standard 2 minutes for the update.

Error messages or router freezes may appear, then do not turn off the power, but wait another 5-10 minutes for the installation to complete correctly.

DIR 300 N150 revision D1

Flashing DIR 300 N150 D1 on the example of firmware version 2.5.4 with a new web interface "Air".




• Go to the settings in the usual way, you will see the "Start / Information" page in front of you, there you can find the exact model name and firmware version.



• To install a new or reinstall an old firmware, click on its version, the "System / Software Update" page will open.
• Use the "Browse" button to select the update file (previously downloaded from here).
• Click "Update". Waiting 2 minutes.




This is how the firmware file looks like on the manufacturer's ftp server

Restore settings

If you flashed the DIR-300 unsuccessfully, you can restore the factory settings of the router.

• The simplest is to use the RESET button on the router case, you will need a toothpick, since the button is recessed into the case. Press it for 10 seconds, release, after that the router will reboot and start with reset settings.
• You can also use the corresponding item in the web interface settings menu.

You have learned how to install the official firmware on the DIR 300 router (revision A1/B1/C1/D1/B3/B5/B7/B6). Also on our website you can read how to set up the Internet on a D-link DIR 300 router.

We have already considered setting up and installing a 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 written on the bottom of the apparatus.

Download from the official site

Only after you have accurately determined the router model, we proceed to download 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 with the name D-Link "DIR-300_NRU". It contains programs for many models at once. After you need to select the Firmware folder. And here we select the model that you have. We have, for example, a DIR 300 NRU B7 router. For you, this may be, for example, NRU B5. In the folder where we moved, there is a file with the extension ".bin". We are downloading this file.

Software Update

We go to the device settings. If someone 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 "System" column there is an arrow to the right side, 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 “.bin” extension. We press 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. Enter our username and password. In the 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 1.2 router firmware interface. has nautical tones, blue-green menu color 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. 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, click update (update).

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

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

Fast internet to you!

D-Link DIR-300 is a router (router) with a Wi-Fi module and four Ethernet ports. Quite a good thing, but there is one drawback: when it is sold, it contains an old firmware, I don’t remember what year it was made. And until you update it, this router is periodically pretty buggy.

New firmware and Russification file is taken here: ftp.dlink.ru. However, before flashing the latest firmware, you need to download the firmware that upgrades the router to a level that is compatible with it, namely, download the firmware /upgrade_first/DIR300A1_FW105B07.bin .

This is done as follows:

1. Go to the MAINTENANCE tab, then select Save and Restore from the menu on the left. In the Save and Restore Settings form, select the Save item and save the router settings to any reasonable place on the hard drive.
2. Download the firmware from the /upgrade_first directory using the link above.
3. Go to the MAINTENANCE tab, then select Firmware Update from the menu on the left. At the bottom of the page is the "FIRMWARE UPGRADE" form. Click the "Browse" button and select the DIR300A1_FW105B07.bin file that you just downloaded.
4. Press the "Upload" button and wait for the update process to complete, never shut down or restart router. Please note that the router maybe after that, reset the settings to factory settings and change the ip-address to 192.168.0.1.
5. After rebooting the router, we repeat the two previous points for the firmware file we took from the ftp.dlink.ru/pub/Router/DIR-300/Firmware/ directory. There will be 2 files with the .bin extension, we are interested in the one without "langpack" in the name.
6. After performing a second update (after which also available factory reset), the LANGUAGE PACK UPGRADE form appears on the MAINTENANCE/Firmware Update page. With its help (similar to using the FIRMWARE UPGRADE form) can download the russification file, the same second file with "langpack" in the title. The process is completely similar to updating the firmware.
7. If the update was reset to factory settings, on the MAINTENANCE / Save and Restore page in the Save and Restore Settings form, click the "Browse" button in the Load Settings From Local Hard Drive line and specify the settings file that was saved in the beginning. After that, press the "Upload" button to upload the settings to the router and wait for the completion of this process.

Having completed all these operations, we will most likely save the router (in my experience) from freezes, sudden resets, inability to see the external network, and sometimes the impossibility of booting with an external network connected. Well, from other bugs, I hope, too :)

Two years have passed since the instructions were written. During this time, D-Link has released several versions of this router. The software for them, in particular the firmware, is not in the above directory, but in others:

1. DIR-300 is the same router that this entry was originally written about. In addition, judging by the name of the files, this firmware is suitable for DIR-300A1 routers. However, it is possible that the first version was simply renamed from DIR-300 to DIR-300A1. Instructions DIR-300+A1_Manual+v1.0.pdf.pdf are available (twice.pdf - if it's a typo, it's not mine - that's what the file on the server is called), DIR-300_QIG_RUS_02.pdf , Manual_DIR-300_A1_rev_1_0_RUS.pdf .
2. DIR-300_C1 - there should be a firmware update here, but on at the moment (09/05/2012) she is not there. Only instruction DIR-300_C1_QIG_v6.00(RU).pdf is available.
3. DIR-300_NRU - please note that at the moment exists TWO INCOMPATIBLE version of this router, namely the firmware of the B1-B2-B3 series and the firmware of the B5-B6 series. You can tell them apart by reading the sticker on the bottom of the router (see file !!!reamde_first!!!.doc). The firmware is in the corresponding directories: /B1_B2_B3/ and /B5_B6/ . If you flash the wrong firmware, then the router will most likely have to be carried to a service center.
   The available instructions are in the respective directories:
   • /B1_B2_B3/DIR-300NRU_QIG_v.1.2.25_RU.pdf
