DIR-300

[human_shieldz]

I am a user BT. My computer terms 24h/24. Daily download a 25GB. Is router DIR-300 is a good choice for me. My devices
Comp 24/24 run RJ-45
Notebook 3h run Wi-fi
Nokia N95 Wi-fi 2h run

Daily 25gb??? That's scary man. It's mine for a month and not even close haha. I do BT too but not so often. I heard that time ISP around a few countries are thinking of imposing extra charges for heavy users.

[phuque99]

DIR-300 was 100% stable when mine was flashed to DDWRT

[liangtam]

Moi still prefers orig f/w :)

[shadowandy]

Flashing back to DIR-300's original is fully functional now. No issues with wireless security.

Have updated the Flashing DIR-300 back to original firmware (http://www.shadowandy.net/2007/10/flashing-dir-300-back-to-original-firmware.htm) guide.

Have created the tool for Generating DIR-300's board config (http://www.shadowandy.net/2009/02/generating-dir-300s-board-config.htm).

hi all, i think i flash wrongly the DIR300 with dd wrt.
now when ever my modem gets a new ip, my dir300 can't get ip from the modem.
in the past, must try a lot of times then can get. now is totally can't.
dir300 with dd wrt users, when u all off modem and router, then on ur modem follow by router, does ur dir300 immediately get a ip?
i need some expert to help me flash my dir300 correctly.
thanks,

do ensure that your settings for DIR-300 has been done correctly. It should be in DHCP mode. If necessary, you may need to clone your PC mac address.

hi all,

Hi guys, I just bought one Dir-300.

Everything is fine but the wireless light always blink even when no wireless connection.

Anyone can help me with this? Thanks in advance!

i have this router as well, but due to the fact that it is a "cheap" router, i hvnt dare to use much heavily.. leave in on 24/7 for dl and etc..

can this router really handle heavy traffic and long time usage..

what about 1.05 new firmware, how was it?

[liangtam]

you already have it
whether if it suits your needs, you can try on the spot

[mitsui14]

Hi guys

Using MOL 8mpbs

How do i connect the DIR300 to my main router DGL4100 for wireless usage only?
I using my 4100 for my own PC.
DIR300 i buy is because of the wireless which is needed for my dad notebook.

hi guys,

so should i stick to 1.04 from dlink.com.sg or flash it to 1.05?

Hi,
im having some issues lately. current setup is dir-300 connected to dns323, desktop on wired n lappy on wifi. dns323 on BT. 2 days ago, I realised that occasionally Im unable to surf. I either have to reboot the router or renew dhcp w/in the router (still can access router & nas admin page frm desktop) but the strange thing is my BT, Msn still have connection.

anyone has the same problem?

[zeroex]

flash to latest firmware?

mine too. i thought it's normal? It blinks uniformly the moment i powered it up right out of the box and continues so even after i've set wpa and there's no wifi-connected computers at home. it was unlike the 624 which blinks only when there's a connection and much less the 524 which flickers intermittently with or without any wifi-connected computers. Please correct me if i'm wrong. I would have preferred the 624 way where it blinks only when there's wifi traffic and stays solid when there isn't.

have u found a solution?

assuming ur current connection is like this:

Cable modem - DGL4100 - your PC.

The dir300's WAN will be connected to one of the 4 ports behind your DGL4100.

before that, remember to secure your dir300's wifi first. if your DGL4100 is dhcp-enabled, it should assign an ip to the dir300.

[aptget]

Been using dir300 for 1.5 years with fw1.03 without
Problems. Its only recently I've experienced router
'Failing' for no reasons. Had to renew dhcp and every
thing works.

Checked Dlink.com.sg and latest fw is 1.04 but someone
gave a link for fw1.05 a few messages up, but its Beta ?
Is it safe ?

I have a sinking feeling the culprit is one of the windows updates- it happened shortly after the last time an update was installed.

Don't think so, but then again if I try to tracert websites, I always fail. Best guess it is due to DNS.

My case is that after a few hours, the problem kicks in. I tried direct connection so far no problem.

bro, when u mean direct connection no prob, is it modem to comp? like this won't b SH dns prob right?

[enriqueyang]

i got dns problem as well, im on official 1.04 firmware, last time used to be only msn disconnect so often, now sometime i have to shut off cable modem and restart again..

[amsga]

bro, when u mean direct connection no prob, is it modem to comp? like this won't b SH dns prob right?

Modem to Comp, no router in between. But I'm still not sure how the DNS thingy works. If it is recursive then maybe the DNS within the router got problem. If it is direct then I'm not so sure.

[rusydi]

Using MOL and trying to set up port forwarding to open a port and let others not in my network to access my website. How do i do i ? I have been trying to open the port and then allow acccess to my website but it simply couldnt work. Even tried DDNS also no use. Anyone knows how ?

[liangtam]

incomin port 80 is blocked

[rusydi]

Then i cant open other ports to view my PHP website on my com?

[cdo_saturday]

Then i cant open other ports to view my PHP website on my com?

you can port forward a number to port 80 of your comp.

in Dir300 under Advance Tab > Port Forwarding, there's Name, public port, IP, private port fields.

In IP, put the internal IP of your comp (eg, 192.168.x.x)
Public port is any number that you will append after your ddns (eg, http://myphpwebsite.dyndns.org:8908)
Private port is 80.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v195/cdo_saturday/forum/likethis.jpg

To enter your website without having to append the port number at the end of your url, u can go dyndns and explore the web hop after you've settled the port forward for your website :)

[amsga]

hmm, u could b right! if name resolution fails, would we still b able to access google based on its IP?

I tried something funny earlier when the thing happened to me. If you try ping on your own system you know it will fail right?

You log into the router and ping from there and guess what? IT ACTUALLY GOES THROUGH!!! Correct me if I'm wrong here. The router itself knows who to ask for DNS but when asked, it doesn't know where to turn to.

Just happened to read this cdo_saturday I am facing exactly the same problem. Interent is totally lost but I am still able to accesss Email and MSN. I am on SH too. I am trying ways to confirm which side is having problem.

i really suspect is starhub problem... cos this dns thing seems to affect more than one person

[liangtam]

yes.
As long as the connection to internet is up, you can get an update from the DNS server that you have config it to.

It's not going to be easy to confirm whose side is having problem because if we log a call to SH, they will likely say it's the router's fault unless there are other SH users who are not connected to a router and yet encounter the problem :(

[cdo_saturday]

yes.
As long as the connection to internet is up, you can get an update from the DNS server that you have config it to.

Thanks. I will configure my comp's pri and alt dns to point to SH's while leaving the lappy's dns settings status quo and monitor. Hope this would be a temporary workaround at the moment.

Use the nslookup command

It allows you to specify the DNS server and query on the spot.

exactly! can access router admin ui, nas admin ui, msn!

From the settings point of view where i've managed to surf when i input SH's dns in the tcp/ip properties and failure to surf after i've removed the dns, it seems like it's the router's fault but if it starts to fail to resolve only recently and somemore so many other users, then wouldn't it look like it's SH's dns fault? :s11:

den i tested the internet connection.
Modem > computer - no problem , can load google.com
modem > router > computer - cannot load liao.
change back
modem > computer - can load again.

tried
Modem > router > computer .
with login to DIR300 admin site , manually release and renew WAN.
cannot leh . no effect.

but after MANY MANY resets (on and off the plug) finally can use liao.
however, after few hrs , like 6/7hrs.
the problem returns.

so i'm confused . router problem ? wats the problem?
i've been using that same old router with same settings for 2 yrs + .

Hey guys, recently I am having this problem. I can surf the net as usual but after awhile, my net just fails, could not surf the net and when I try to re login MSN, it fails with an error code.

I went for the troubleshooter and it tells me that my DNS can not resolve my IP address and the key ports also have problems.

The only way is shutting down my com and then restarting my modem(power off/on).

This way is rather irritating, is there any fix to this problem ?

Care to post the values you set for "per torrent connection" and "max global connection"?

High values typically kills the Internet connection for these no frills router.

Perhaps you might wish to raise your limit for half-open tcp and see if it helps.

It could be the case, you might wish to try lowering the max number to see if it helps. Else you might wish to upgrade your router to DIR-655 as it handles connections more efficiently.

Hi all, I have the same issue as well. I dont really think is modem issue or pc issue. For mine, dchp is unable to refresh until i reboot modem sbv5120 only. However, sbv5120 has no issue dchp wif linksys router. So I personally feels that it maybe the quality of dir 300 itself.

hi guys,

i just bought this router and i have forwarded the port according to portforward.com for utorrent. my dl speed never exceeds 1.0kb/s and it's always a red icon at the bottom of utorrent saying not contactable. i have enabled SPI under firewall and DMZ. only my pc is connected to this router. the other pc at home is connected directly to the modem via usb port :(

[liangtam]

Which modem?

You have to make sure the modem is fully bridged first

use this guide provided by the modem agent to bridge your modem:

Just curious, anyone happen to know whats the max number of connections the DIR-300 can support before it dies/restarts/hangs?

Router does not works this way
If max connection limit is reach, no new connection will be established only until existing one closes.

hi guys..i got a problem..whenever my bro switch on his laptop...my PC which is connected to LAN will start to have fluctuations on pings..ping can go as high as 1000+ then back to normal. i am using DIR-300...so the problem is with my bro laptop..but issit virus or the laptop taking too much bandwithd?

[enriqueyang]

scan virus and try? i suspect its virus.. try speed test on other com/ laptop as well, if same problem.. then it should be the router or network problem...

[prodikeyz]

is it possible to disable the firewall in DIR-300? don't think i need another firewall when my PC already has one.. recommended?

Follow this guide lor:

[kolkoo]

I would suggest not changing to DD-WRT unless ur DL Speeds are lower than 20mbps, as said on openwrt and dd-wrt forums the switch driver for DIR300 needs fixing, atm 20mbps is the best speed one can get thru cable which is just sad :) I've patched and gone down from my 50mbits to around 18-19mbps and they came with 100% cpu usage on dd-wrt as well as the web interface hanging. I dont have such problems with the 1.05 rb93 i get my max speeds, web interface responds while downloading at max speeds. So i reverted to original and patched again to 1.05 rb93. There is the annoying battle net disconnects while other people download torrents but its just from bnet, the connection to other players is still there. Personally im just waiting for DD-WRT to realease sp2 where the switch driver issue will probably be fixed, I suggest you do the same :)

[leepakleng]

hi guys,

who can help flash my DIR-300 to DD-WRT tonight? really need help

[leepakleng]

For those users who have problems, are you guys using the DV cable modem?

if DV = digital voice,
ya i am using the voice enabled cable modem

[leepakleng]

hi guys,

from my understanding of shadowandy guide to flashing DIR-300, is it put "ap61.ram", "ap61.rom", "dir300-firmware.bin", "linux.bin" into a folder.
then open PumpKIN, click on "Options", under "TFTP filesystem root (download path)", browse to the folder where all the files are inside?

is this considering serving the required files to DIR-300 stated under shadowandy webby "TFTP Server up and running, ready to serve the required files, e.g. PumpKIN"?
thanks

[leepakleng]

hi all,

sucessfully flash my DIR-300 to DD-WRT.
any guys who need help can PM me, i stay in west area.

[zeroex]

how do you find the new firmware ?

[leepakleng]

how do you find the new firmware ?

i actually flash to dd-wrt abt 1 year ago, then due to that time of upgrading to the new DD-WRT require telnet, i done it wrongly, brick the router, so exchange with D-Link. after that, i dun dare to flash to DD-WRT again.

now because i buy a A.C.Ryan media player cum BT downloader, i flash to DD-WRT as last time i try, DD-WRT will make DIR-300 work faster, surfing of net is much mroe faster, haha

[i0ri86]

Bricked router D-Link still exchange for you with no charges?

Anyway, i'm looking for somebody to flash my DIR 300.
Anybody who knows how to flash DD-WRT latest firmware D-link DIR 300 without bricking?

i dun mind flashing for you but if brick, dun blame me. i will tyr my best

[i0ri86]

Ok, but if brick can change another router with D-link? Is bricking of router covered by warranty?
And does the latest DD-WRT firmware still support Xlink KAI?

[liangtam]

Of course warranty void.
Going RMA after modding fail is shameless

Original f/w bricks are still covered under wrty

[thermie]

But don't you have to buy their USB adapter to use the 150 connection? Otherwise it will be just normal G right?

[liangtam]

But don't you have to buy their USB adapter to use the 150 connection? Otherwise it will be just normal G right?

Any N adapter will do what.

[amsga]

Any N adapter will do what.

But I thought the classification for DIR-600 is under Super-G or G. I don't think it is an N router right?

[liangtam]

But I thought the classification for DIR-600 is under Super-G or G. I don't think it is an N router right?

It is a 1T1R based N router

1T1R N is not accepted under WiFi alliance certification for N, therefore its not listed as one.

Currently playing WoW. I have an issue that whenever I am on WoW for a long time, I will be unable to go on to the internet to surf websites. My internet connection would be lost and I am still be able to play on WoW but I notice that my MSN will display a message saying, Connection is bad and stuff. Is there anything I can do about this?
