Flashing
![]() | NOTE: During configuration or flashing a device, the only things that should be hooked to the device is the computer and power. |
Flashing dd-wrt
Supported by dd-wrt as of = dir601a1 build 16172 20110209
- CONFIRMED TO WORK ON A1 HARDWARE VERSION ONLY!
Download this file: ftp://dd-wrt.com/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V24-preSP2/2011/02-17-11-r16214/dlink-dir601a1/dir601a1-factory-to-ddwrt-firmware.bin
- Plug a cable into the LAN port of your router. Never upgrade except with a LAN cable connected to your router from your computer, and make sure your firewall, virus protection and wireless are OFF in your computer.
- On your router, hold the reset button down for 30 seconds. Yellow power light should blink orange and then all lights should return to normal.
- Set a static IP on your computer of 192.168.0.9. If you don't know how to do this, you should not be messing with third party firmware.
- Login to the router at 192.168.0.1. Admin is username and password is left blank. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE RETURNED TO FACTORY DEFAULTS
- Go to the firmware upgrade page. Select the dir601a1-factory-to-ddwrt-firmware.bin that you downloaded earlier to upgrade
- Hit UPGRADE.
- WAIT FOR THREE MINUTES WITHOUT TOUCHING ANYTHING. TIME THIS!
- An orange soccer ball like icon will light on the front of your router and this will stay lit.
- Change your computer IP back to AUTO IP and AUTO dns.
- Check your LAN connection status. You should have an IP on your computer in the 192.168.1.xxx range.
- Logon to your router at 192.168.1.1
- SELECT the username (make ALL the dots blue highlighted) and enter one that you will remember.
- Select the password and enter one that you will remember, and then enter these and go in and configure your router.
Flashing OpenWrt
![]() | This device is NOT RECOMMENDED for future use with OpenWrt due to low flash/ram. DO NOT BUY DEVICES WITH 4MB FLASH / 32MB RAM if you intend to flash an up-to-date and secure OpenWrt version onto it! See 4/32 warning for details. |
![]() | This device does not have sufficient resources (flash and/or RAM) to provide secure and reliable operation. This means that even setting a password or changing simple network settings might not be possible any more, rendering the device effectively useless. See OpenWrt on 4/32 devices what you can do now. |
![]() | OpenWrt support for this device has ended in 2022. 19.07.10 was the last official build for 4/32 devices. |

Reverting
Restore to Factory Firmware
(Taken from flashing instructions for DIR-615 rev D3, but I've verified it works for DIR601)
- set your computer's ip manually to: 192.168.0.X (not 1) AND set your subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.
- unplug the power cable to the router
- press the reset button and plug in the power cable when the power led flashes orange release the reset.
- go to 192.168.0.1
- Upload your original firmware and wait
- After update, the factory firmware saved my old settings so I connected to my previously set router IP.
