Install Redboot; Install Dd-Wrt - D-Link DIR-300 Manual

D-Link_DIR-300_rev_A
Default server: 192.168.20.80
now start a local tftp server on your computer and place ap61.ram as well as ap61.rom in the root dir of this
server
back to the redboot enter:
load ap61.ram
go
now a new temporarily bootloader should start. (on serial console it will display some warning. but you dont
need to care about). It will be waiting for connection at the LAN side of the router, so follow the instructions
that follow. Plug off your cable from the wan port and reconfigure your local (computer) ip to 192.168.1.2 (set
your DHCP server to serve 192.168.1.1 as the only address in the DHCP pool and the TFTP must also be
available at 192.168.1.2). Now you should be pluging on to any of the lan ports. Then connect via telnet to
192.168.1.1 (or to the ip your dhcp server served to the redboot) and port 9000. A DD-WRT> prompt should
welcome you.
IMPORTANT: while doing the following steps. never plugoff the lan cable or the power cord

now the unit will reboot and the new bootloader will be executed and is waiting for your connection. this will
take 30+ sec.

Install DD-WRT

The following will work for the initial flash AND a recovery
connect to the bootloader with telnet on port 9000 and ip 192.168.1.1 (If you have installed Micro_Redboot
read the wiki page about it first)
now do the following (consider that fis create operations are taking sometimes *several* minutes to finish, in
my particular case it took more than 5 minutes):

Install RedBoot
