Background

It is important to note, DIR-300 Rev A1 and Rev B1 are completely different hardware, different SoC, different procedure. So, if you have the old DIR-300 router, its install procedure is already well documented elsewhere. Rev B1 is based on Ralink RT3050 SoC and from all accounts, including Dlink's FCC test report, the PCBA is exactly the same as in the DIR-600. Image:Dlink-DIR300revb.JPG

Installation Instructions

To install dd-wrt on either a D-Link DIR-300 Revision B1 or a D-Link DIR-600 Revision B1, you need to flash it directly from the router's web admin page (yes, that is correct... from D-Links web interface admin) --update firmware option-- and flash first the file named:

dlink-revb-factory-webflash.bin

For DIR-300 Rev B

For DIR-600 Rev B

After that is done, the router will reboot to dd-wrt, and the IP address will have changed to 192.168.1.1. There is no need to do any reset. Proceed to flash the latest file via the DD-WRT web interface --Firmware Upgrade--:

Beware that as of today this is valid information, but directories will change as a more development releases are posted or --even better-- a stable one is produced. So make sure to first check in downloads to see if there is a stable release:

http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/stable/dd-wrt.v24 SP1/Consumer/Dlink

As of today there is no stable release for these routers.

For latest development release, check

http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V24-preS

then the latest date and your router model.
