Windows flashing instruction for the D-Link DIR-300 to DD-WRT (by Brainslayer, modified by Sash)
configure your local ip to 192.168.20.80
connect your lan cable to the WAN port of the router.
plugoff the power cord and replug it.
now enter the redboot using telnet and ip 192.168.20.81 and port 9000. connect your lan cable to the dir300 wan port.
you might need several tries since its only available for 1 second after aprox. 5 sec. of booting
(in the appendix is a windows instruction for easy connecting to redboot)
DIR-300 Info:
IP: 192.168.20.81/255.255.255.0, Gateway: 0.0.0.0
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)
plug your lan cable to the lan port of the dir-300.
reconfigure your ip to 192.168.1.2 and connect via telnet to 192.168.1.1 and port 9000.
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 wil take 30+ sec. The following will work for the initial falsh AND a recovery
connect to the bootloader with telnet on port 9000 and ip 192.168.1.1
now do the following: (consider that fis create operations are taking sometimes several minutes to finish)
load -r -b 0x80041000 linux.bin fis create linux fconfig boot_script true fconfig boot_script_timeout 4
now type fconfig again and configure the bootscript to:
fis load -l linux exec
now type reset again. the unit should now boot dd-wrt and work as known from other atheros based platforms
Recovery and Upgrade
connect to the bootloader with telnet on port 9000 and ip 192.168.1.1
do the following: (consider that fis create operations are taking sometimes several minutes to finish)
fis init
now load the latest linux.bin from your tftp-server:
load -r -b 0x80041000 linux.bin fis create linux
Redboot access script for Windows
download putty.exe to c:\
create a file on c:\ called redboot.txt, with the following content:
^C
create a file on c:\ called redboot.bat with the following content:
rem echo off :start rem ------------------------------------------------ ping 192.168.20.81 -n 1 -w 1 >NUL IF ERRORLEVEL 1 goto start rem putty rem ------------------------------------------------ break putty.exe telnet://192.168.20.81:9000 -m redboot.txt exit
start the bat file and power on the router.....here comes redboot
