Make sure you are uploading dlink’s firmware through the emergency page. It doesn’t accept other type of firmwares.

Try using IE6 to upload the firmware on the emergency page.

DD-WRT> reset

My router does not restart ant I restart it manualy, after this, then trying to log in by IP 192.168.1.2 I see blank window, no DD-WRT command line. I tried to repeat everything, but the result:

RedBoot> load ap61.ram

Entry point: 0×800410bc, address range: 0×80041000-0×800680d8

Then I tried to restore my original firmwire:

RedBoot> load -r -b %{FREEMEMLO} shadowandy_board_config.bin

RedBoot> reset

And that’s all, it doesn’t restart and I can do nothing. There can be the problem, I tried averything I find in this page. I also tried to restore firmwire by emergency page, but then I press UPLOAD it stops responding.
P.S. wire is connected in WAN port, LAN ports are not responding. I hope you can help

I see. It seems that some DIR-300 requires me to hold on to the reset. Well, it is also logical that a DIR-300 without firmware will halt at the emergency web-server stage.

Thanks for the insight.

after flashing the board config back you say to reboot and hold to reset button for 30 seconds. It did not work for me. In order to get to the emergency web-server I had to do a normal boot, without the reset button pressed.

Make sure your system IP is correct. The time you have to telnet to the DIR-300 during boot up is little.
