8. Wait until the power LED turns to solid 'Yellow'. At this point, the initial dd-wrt image has been
written to flash, the device has rebooted and is running.
9. Change the IP address of your PC to the 192.168.1.0 subnet. Use your browser to connect to the
router at http://192.168.1.1/
10. The DD-WRT screen should load. If not, you did something wrong. Go back and try again.
11. There is a report that "emergency room web interface" may not support IE8, so if it does not work
then try another browser: "Note that Internet Explorer 8 did not work for me on the emergency room
web interface. It gave me a general page view error during the firmware upload. I had to use another
browser to make it work (I used chrome but fire fox would probably work as well)."

How to upgrade with new DD-WRT firmware

1. Download the latest firmware from: http://dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database , and enter the
model as DIR600 or DIR300 as appropriate. Download the new firmware file, which will be called
dir300-revb-ddwrt-webflash.bin or dir600-revb-ddwrt-webflash.bin , depending on your router.
2. Open the DD-WRT's web interface in your web browser. It's http://192.168.1.1/ by default.
3. Administration tab -> "Firmware Upgrade" button
4. click "browse" button -> select the "dir600-revb-ddwrt-webflash.bin" file -> click "Upgrade" button.
5. It takes about 1 and a half minutes to upload and write the flash. Your browser will reload and let you
know when it is done.
• It is probably a good idea to reboot after updating. That's it.

How to reset the Router to initial DD-WRT configuration

If you forget the username or password, or if the configuration becomes really messed up, you can always
clear all the non-volitile parameters by doing a 'factory reset'. To do this, with the router already fully booted,
press and hold the reset button for 5~6 seconds and release. The router will boot back up and answer to
192.168.1.1 just as if it had just been flashed with DD-WRT.

How to restore to factory firmware

Method 1

To get back your D-Link DIR 600 router to its original D-Link firmware:
• Download the latest firmware version from Dlink (version 2.01 at time of this writing) from
ftp://ftp.dlink.cz/dir/dir-600/driver_software/
• Use the "emergency room interface" steps described above.
• Do NOT use the standard firmware upgrade procedure. Multiple people have reported that this does
not work for restoring the D-Link firmware. Use the "emergency room interface" steps instead.
