D link dir 300 firmware 1.4 9. DIR300 (nru b5) firmware from Beeline to factory. Restoring the router's factory MAC address

Good afternoon Today, most users have Wi-Fi routers. They help us organize joint and, most importantly, wireless access to the World Wide Web. But any device, sooner or later, can fail or simply begin to work unstably. This situation can be corrected by installing new firmware. In this article we will look at installing new firmware on the D-Link DIR-300 NRU Ver.: B6 (and other software versions).

Firmware D-Link DIR-300 NRU Ver.: B6

Before we begin describing the process of updating the router, I ask you to clarify the software version of your equipment. Turn the device over and the sticker will indicate the model and version. See the picture below (Ver.:B5). After this you can download the required file.

We have decided on the version and can start uploading the update.

1. Connect the DIR-300 using an Ethernet cable to the network card of your computer. In this case, the cable on the router must be connected to any LAN connector (usually connected to the first).
2. Next, open your browser (the manufacturer recommends using FireFox or Internet Explorer) and type in the address bar: 192.168.0.1 and press Enter.
3. The authorization page will open, here you need to enter your username and password to enter the device’s web interface. The default login/password is admin/admin.
4. Next, let's go to the section MAINTENANCE subsection Firmware Update, press the button "Review" and in the window that opens, select our new firmware file, click "Open".
5. Now to download new firmware to the router you need to press the button "Apply". For the next 2-3 minutes, do not turn off the router or PC (until the update is completed).
6. After completing the update procedure, you need to reboot the DIR-300. For this we choose MAINTENANCE -> Save and Restore and wait for the device to restart. By the way, all network connection settings, as well as wireless network settings, will have to be done again.

Let's talk about the case when you, having changed your wired Internet provider, have... How can I return it to its original state? To begin, you need to go to ftp.dlink.ru and prepare the original version file for firmware 1.2.94 . Especially for this D-Link prepared the file DIR_300NRUB5-1.2.94-20110414.fwz located at ( http://ftp.dlink.ru/pub/Router/DIR-300_NRU/Firmware/B5/Old/). Not all browsers will be able to directly enter this address, so we’ll start searching for the required file with ( http://dlink.ru/ru/support/)

On the right side of the page you can see a link to the D-Link file server (FTP.DLINK.RU). Please note that we need a file with the extension .fwz The .bin file located in the same folder sewing a router is useless.

We go to the router at the address 192.168.1.1 , select advanced settings, go to the section System — Software Update.

Select the firmware file we need and click on the execute button in the lower right corner of the screen.

The process of updating the router firmware begins. It lasts about 5 minutes. It is very important not to turn off the power to the router and the computer from which the firmware is being installed. .

After the update is completed, we will receive on the screen this picture, well known to many)

There is no need to be afraid. This happened because after the update and reboot, the address of our router changed. Now he 192.168.0.1. Now, in order for the router to be ready for configuration, you need to return it to the factory settings by pressing the RESET button, located on the back panel of the router in the hole to the right of the power connector. We go to the router at the new address 192.168.0.1

Login: admin

Password: admin

When you enter the specified data, the router will ask you to change the administrator password:

Enter a new password and repeat the entry again:

All! Router DIR-300NRU Rev.B5 became itself again

We can set it up for a new Internet operator. But, it is advisable to update the router software again to the latest one recommended by D-Link specialists.

And so, in general, it was high time to do this.
Many have repeatedly encountered various problems with the D-link dir-300 router (may also be suitable for other models) of various modifications http://www.dlink.ru/ru/products/2/728.html, many have a number misconceptions about its operation and configuration.
In fact, everything can be solved, and there is no reason not to buy such a cheap router.
But there is nothing specific about setting it up on the Internet.
So in this topic I will present what I came to on my own or got to the bottom of through trial and error. Everything I present here may not be entirely explainable or necessary - but the main thing is that the router works! Yes - I defeated him!
Let's begin.
1) To begin with, after purchasing, I highly recommend immediately updating the firmware here ftp://ftp.dlink.ru/pub/Router/
Select the desired router after; to the Firmware folder.
The update is necessary, since there are some failures of the router - it breaks the connection after some time (about a few minutes), but only helps to unplug it from the socket. There are also Wi-Fi glitches on it - range, disconnection.
2) In no case do I advise changing the source address of the router 192.168.0.1, since various failures also occur and work with some devices is disrupted (in particular, I could not connect Smart-TV from Samsung for a long time).
3) Now let's move on to the main setup.
I will explain everything using the example of my router D-link dir-300 NRU rev.B6 with updated firmware of this version rev.B5/B6 1.4.4. For the rest, I think it won’t be much different.

Let's move on to the advanced settings, specifically to the Network - LAN setting.

It should look like the screenshot, in addition, I have static addresses set for devices on the local home network. Everybody is here.
Next we go to the Network - WAN settings. Since my provider is Multinex, I will explain it using it. On early firmware, the provider’s local network and its private virtual network were two different connections, now they are one. We do it as in the screenshots.

We fill in the checkboxes, enter the login and password (if necessary), LCP gaps and intervals.
We have come to the important MTU parameter: the only thing that needs to be changed is where the private virtual network with password and login is. This parameter determines the number of bytes in the packet - whatever that means.
MTU selection is carried out individually using a command on the command line.
Here she is:
FOR /L %a IN (1300,10,1500) DO ping -f -l %a ya.ru >> ping.txt
Let me explain: (1300,10,1500) – from what to what value, check in steps of 10 – ten for faster selection, since then you will need to change it to the type type (1**0,1,1**0) depending on the previously obtained interval (you will have to run the command twice in total).
For clarity, it is better to remove the parameter >> ping.txt
Instead of ya.ru it is better to put youtube.com (without the correct MTU the video will not load)
Below is an example in the screenshots.

This is what the router statistics should look like ( NET I just called it a connection to a private virtual network)

That's it - the basic setup is complete.
4)Wi-Fi
There's not much to say here.
I recommend setting only the following parameters, but everything is very simple there.

5) IGMP (located in additional settings) – it seems to be something related to multimedia.
I don't know why, but use the second version.

6)And the last thing you need to know is setting up DC++
Find out about DC here http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC++
Find out about our DC here
The problem arises from the need to simultaneously work with both local hubs and Internet hubs.
A) Preparing the router.
For each computer on the network that needs to configure a DC, we create 2 virtual servers (why 2 is not clear, but that’s not the point)
For example, the local address of my computer is 192.168.0.3 - let’s use port 10033 for it.
Guided by the screenshots, we do:

Please note that a virtual server is being created for NET and for “dynamic_ports” (connection to the provider’s local network), but in my screenshots this is for two computers.
We're done with the router.
B) Setting up the program using the example of FlylinkDC++
We will assume that you have already added hubs to your favorites (both local and internet)

Now let's move on to local hubs. For each of them we will register your local ip in its properties in selected hubs. IP you can find out before you set up the program by entering something in the search, the hub should argue and give out your real ip. This is the ip never changes.

All responsibility for your subsequent actions lies solely with you; the site administration does not bear any responsibility for the results obtained. If you are in doubt, it is better to contact the right specialist.

Please read the entire text below carefully before proceeding.

This process is the same as flashing the DLink DIR-300 firmware, BUT you have a DIR-300 NRU, so there is one very important rule.

IT IS FORBIDDEN install firmware for DIR-300 NRU hardware versions B1, B2 and B3 in the router DIR-300 NRU, which has hardware revision B5. This will lead to a complete failure of your device. After this, it will be possible to restore the router only for money by contacting a specialized service center.

Before updating the firmware, be sure to find out the hardware revision (H/W) of your router. To do this, look at the affixed label located at the bottom of the router. This sticker has a message that starts with "H/W Ver.:". The letter and number following it indicate the hardware revision.

Once you have determined the revision of your DIR-300 NRU download the firmware itself, according to the revision: If you have B1, B2, B3, then download this firmware - dir300b_v2.06_b9fe.bin If B5, then this firmware is needed - DIR_300NRUB5-1.2.94-20110414.fwz

The firmware update process assumes that your DIR-300 NRU is already configured and working, or at least you have access to it via the web interface.

In your browser, enter the address of your router in the address bar. Typically, this address is your gateway; you can check this by launching the command line (START->All Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt) and entering the “ipconfig” command in it. You will see the inscription " Main gate. . . . . . . . . : 192.168.100.1", in this case you need to enter 192.168.100.1 in the browser

Enter your login and password for the router, go to the Maintenance tab -> Firmware update. Check the current firmware version, you may already have the latest installed and there is no need to update.

For the firmware update itself, go to Firmware upgrade click on the "Browse..." button and select the firmware file previously downloaded to your computer, mark it and click on the Upload button.

IMPORTANT! For the next two minutes, you cannot turn off the power to the router and computer and do not interrupt the firmware update process in any way.

During the firmware process, you will see the progress of the operation in the browser with a timer showing the remaining time. After the countdown timer indicates that the update is complete, log into the router again through your browser. By entering the same menu item you will be convinced that DIR-300 NRU firmware successfully updated.

Reflash D-LINK DIR-300 NRU revision B5 V Zyxel Keenetic B not difficult, but Keenetic Lite B differs from Dir-300 in having 8 MB of flash memory, while the long one has only 4 MB. Therefore, it will not be possible to simply update it in Keenetic; as a result, the router will constantly reboot, since the file system will not start. Therefore, we will use adapted firmware and will flash it without using the Failsafe UI interface.

To flash the DIR-300 NRU firmware we will need:

• the cable that comes with the router (do not try to use , because during the firmware installation the Wi-Fi module is disabled)
• you need to DOWNLOAD a set of firmware versions: 1.3.0 and 1.2.94, transitional DIR_300NRUB5-to-KeeneticLiteB.fwz and, finally, final KEENETIC_LITE-V1.00D0_fixed_for_4MB_flash-wget-for_DIR300NRUB5.bin

This set of firmware contains everything you need to convert dir-300 to Keenetic Lite and back.

Router firmware

If the firmware version is older than 1.2.94, you will not be able to flash 1.2.94. It’s easy to get out of this situation; you need to download firmware version 1.3.0 in the “Software Update” section. And only then 1.2.94. Login and password after flashing admin/admin.

After updating the firmware to version 1.2.94, you can upload the transition DIR_300NRUB5-to-KeeneticLiteB.fwz also through “Software Update”. Wait a few minutes, the update may freeze because the router subnet changes (now it will be accessible at 192.168.1.1). After waiting 3-4 minutes, you need to go to the properties of the local network connection and enter the IP address manually (for example, 192.168.1.2, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, the main gateway can be specified as 192.168.1.1). Because, often, even after reconnecting the server, for some reason it does not provide the correct IP address and it will be impossible to log into the administrative panel of the router from a different subnet. We changed the ip, now we go to the address 192.168.1.1 the router asks for a login and password. Enter the login admin and password 1234.

After that, we sew the stable adapted firmware KEENETIC_LITE-V1.00D0_fixed_for_4MB_flash-wget-for_DIR300NRUB5.bin. For this, in the router, go to System - Firmware and select the firmware file.

Restoring the router's factory MAC address

After flashing, we go into the panel and configure the router as we need, but do not forget that after flashing the router “forgets” its original one. Therefore, it must be registered manually, otherwise there may be problems with communication.

First, look at the MAC of the router; it is usually indicated on one of the stickers on the bottom of the router.

Then open the administrative panel: Internet - Connection - Use MAC address: Entered and enter the original MAC address of the router in the field below.

Restoring factory firmware D-link

In the event that you need to return the factory firmware from Zyxel, back to D-Link you need to use Failsafe UI. To do this, you need to set the IP address of the network card to 192.168.0.2, subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.

We turn off the power to the router, hold down reset, turn on the power, without releasing reset, hold it for 10 seconds, then release the reset button, type 192.168.0.1 in the browser and get into the Failsafe UI.

We select the KeenLiteBbak2Dir.bin firmware file, wait, and get the restored d-link firmware as output. Login and password: admin/admin

After this, you can flash any firmware; after flashing, do a reset.
