D-Link DIR-505

Write a short, relevant description of the device. Include a technical overview, but avoid marketing buzzwords/useless stuff. Two to four sentences is about right. A picture is good, too. Edit the page to see how to add pictures.

Version/Model	Model Specific Notes
DIR-505 A1	No “Charge Mode”
DIR-505L A1	Charge mode
DIR-505L A2	Charge mode; exchangeable mains plug
DIR-505 A2	Not clear what is the difference to the DIR-505L A2

Apparently so far there are four versions of the dlink 505: DIR-505 A1, DIR-505L A1, DIR-505 A2, DIR-505L A2.

They differ a bit on the “outer” hardware (switches, power supply stability, plugs), but the main router hardware is the same for all versions. Since the main router hardware is the same for all versions, all of them work fine with Openwrt.

505L A1 = 505 + extra parts for voltage stability and the addition of a “Charge” mode on the mode switch, which allows for charging USB devices via the USB port on the unit.

505L A2 = 505L A1 + exchangeable mains plug. For EU + UK, one plug for each is supplied.

On OpenWRT 21.02.3, USB is not detected. However, this was not a problem on previous versions (e.g. 19.07.3). This also seems to be fixed in the upcoming series (e.g. 22.03.0-rc6).

Currently no installation images exist for the latest openwrt releases for the DIR-505. The latest openwrt releases are based on the ath79 architecture using device trees. Therefore an old installation image based on an ar71xx architecture has to be used for the initial installation. Next it has to be upgraded with an sysupgrade image to a newer openwrt firmware. During this upgrade all configurations are lost, due to the architecture change during the upgrade (this will not happen for the later upgrades to future versions of firmware images based on the ath79 architecture). In most cases there is no need to configure the device before the upgrade.

Be aware that after the upgrade, the ethernet interface is accessible, if the mode selector switch on the top of the device is configured for Router/AP mode, but it is no accessible in repeater mode.

→ Install OpenWrt (generic explanation)

The device can be flashed via the web interface of the standard D-Link firmware using a released Openwrt factory image with version 14.07 or newer.

If the original D-Link firmware is not operational and a reset to factory default settings does not help for whatever reason, an OpenWrt factory image can be flashed via the D-Link Router Recovery Mode as described in http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=44909.msg162511#msg162511 But be aware that the D-Link Router Recovery Mode is using an old uIP stack which is incompatible with most modern OSes (e.g. Debian Linux 10+11, see below)

The essential how to for the D-Link Router Recovery Mode:

1 Store a copy of the OpenWrt firmware (.BIN) on the HDD of a local PC
2 Connect an Ethernet cable between the LAN port on the router and the network port on the local PC
3 Configure the PC with a static IP address other than 192.168.0.1 (e.g. 192.168.0.5)
4 Power down the router
5 Press and hold the reset button on the router for 3 to 5 seconds and re-plug the power without releasing the reset button
6 Continue to hold the reset button until the red power light keeps blinking on and off
7 Open a web browser and enter the following address: http://192.168.0.1/
8 Wait for the 'D-Link Router Recovery Mode' page to load
9 Click the [Choose File] button, select the OpenWrt router firmware stored on the local PC and then press [Upload]...the LED stops blinking and is constant red.
10 An HTML page starts counting for approximately 2 minutes. After approximately 90 seconds, the LED goes off and the DIR-505 restarts with the openwrt image (web server runs on 192.168.1.1)
11 After the new OpenWrt firmware has successfully loaded, a 'Success' page will display (this is only HTML, it does not include any feedback from the DIR-505, i.e. no matter what happens with the DIR-505, the Success page will show up eventually, if the upload started successfully).
12 If the 'Success' page fails to display, then repeat steps 4 through 9

At least for the DIR-505 A2 hardware for the FW upgrade over the rescue web page described in the 12 steps above, Windows 10 (other Windows versions not tested) was required. There installing the FW with Firefox worked flawless, also with curl from the command line works with these parameters:

curl http://192.168.0.1/cgi/index -F files=@openwrt-ath79-tiny-dlink_dir-615-e4-squashfs-factory.bin

On Debian Linux 10, neither Firefox nor Chromium worked nor curl.

An installation path which worked on Debian Linux 10:

For the DIR-505 A2 and Chromium@Debian Linux I had to use the FW upgrade path of the standard web interface (i.e. starting normally w/o pressing the reset button).

Use WPS button for reboot and shutdown

see this forum posting for how to use the WPS button to reboot / shutdown the device.

Mode-switch

There is a 4 position switch on the top of the unit. The fourth position is used by the DIR-505L model to shutdown the software and operate as a USB charger - on the DIR-505 the case keeps the switch from going into the fourth position.

You can use the mode switch for pretty much anything you want -- however, keep in mind that the “Charge” position turns the router off and is pretty easy to accidentally switch to.

As an useful example look at this forum posting which enables different config modes based on the switch position.

The switch modifies GPIOs 19 and 20:

Switch position	GPIO 19	GPIO 20
“WiFi Hotspot”	0	1
“Repeater”	1	1
“Router/AP”	1	0

(GPIOs 21 and 22 may be connected to the switch, too, but report 0 all the time. The “Charger” position seems to affect GPIO23 but, again, is of no use within a powered down system.)

Note: those pads are really meant for Pogo pins (which you can get at places like sparkfun). If you solder to them, use a low-wattage soldering iron (15-30 watts) and use solder flux to clean the pads first. Then only solder magnet wire or a single strand of stranded copper wire (32 awg).

DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE inside!
Opening this device exposes
parts under high voltage (110/230 VAC)!

Risk of deadly electrical shock
Risk of irreversable damage to other components attached, e.g. your PC connected via serial

Make sure to keep your fingers, conductive tools and serial cables away from the high voltage at all times!

Capacitors can still retain dangerous voltages
after disconnection from mains!

Continue at your own risk!

Note: This will void your warranty!

remove white sticker on the back, just below the power plug, and remove exposed screw.
pry the now unfastened cap straight up over power plug
remove yellow/green sticker (labeled with usb and internet/lan) that holds both halves of the case together
this step is kind of tricky, a good hint is, grab the router with both hands, your thumbs near the switch, placed left and right of the small space that seperates the case part with the dlink-logo on it from the high-voltage-plug-part
Place your pointing fingers on the other side of the case
dig with your thumbs in the appaering notch and use a little force until it seperates easlily
- If you have problems, use a little screw driver to flip out the platics clips (but be careful they break very! easily)
- there are three plastic tabs, one above reset hole, and one on each side of mode switch
- ~~Just stick a screwdriver in the hole at the bottom next to the ethernet port, and pry the two halves apart.~~ DONT DO THIS! On top of the ethernet port, you can damage a capacitor you don't see and other parts from the power regulation board. If you use a screw driver, JUST and ONLY on the right side of the ethernet port as support to lever the case parts
- ~~Then stick the screwdriver in on the other side in the topmost air vent and pry the top part of the shell apart.~~
remove to screws that hold some the metal clips the power plug
pull the metal clips through the small gap
now pull power module straight up away from cpu board. they are connected via a four-way-power-connector and a two-way (don't what is it for)
pop cpu board up (two plastic tabs hold it down).

→ port.serial general information about the serial port, serial port cable, etc.

How to connect to the Serial Port of this specific device:

See above photo for connections. 115200 bps, 8N1. You can use any 3.3V serial dongle for this, I used a 3.3v arduino serial programming cable.

When the case is open it may be more convenient to power the DIR-505 directly from a 5V power supply. The power connector is the female 4-pin header (2.54mm/0.1in spacing) and has a symmetric connection:

[-|+|+|-]

(the inner two pins are +5V, the outer ones are 0V/GND).

So there's two levels of “bricking”...mis-flashing the firmware, and overwriting the boot loader.

Since there's no jtag, if you overwrite the bootloader and it doesn't boot again, you're sol. That's almost impossible to do accidentally.

However, if you hold down the reset button at boot time, the original bootloader has a web interface that comes up, where you can re-flash the unit from.

Plug in your computer to the unit, assign it an ip address of 192.168.0.100, and boot the unit up while holding down the reset. Once the red light starts to blink slowly, release the reset, and go to 192.168.0.1 on your web browser. From there you can upload a new image. After successful flashing, you'll see a “Success” page in your browser.

After getting the “success” page in your browser you might notice a different behaviour of the LED, depending on which image you flashed:

Plesiu's AA image

Please keep in mind, that the LED might not come on after flashing / rebooting, since it usually signals WiFi, which might not be up right after flashing. So don't misinterpret the off-LED as “it's not working”, when it's just showing: “Wifi is off”. Try to access the router by telnet 192.168.1.1.

Trunk image

The LED goes from blinking red to blinking green, and then to steady green. Congratulations, your DIR-505 just has booted and is waiting for you to telnet 192.168.1.1 (at least it should be).

you could read about bootloader in general and about Das U-Boot in particular.

Forum member pepe2k made a modification of U-Boot 1.1.4 for Qualcomm Atheros SoCs based devices (the project is still being developed, so new devices and SoCs will be supported in the future). Up to date information, binary images and sources can be found on official GitHub repository.

This modification started from wr703n-uboot-with-web-failsafe project, but supports more devices, all modern web browsers, has a lot of improvements and other modifications (like U-Boot NetConsole, custom commands, overclocking possibilities etc.).

Discussion about this project on OpenWrt forum
An article (in Polish) about one of the first version of this project on www.tech-blog.pl

as a beginner, you really should inform yourself about soldering in general and then obtain some practical experience! (It's really not that hard, just go try it.)
The internal WiFi antenna sometimes has a tendancy to short to the board. If you open the device, slip a piece of electrical tape, (or even better, shrink wrap tubing) around the vertical piece of metal that extends over the board to keep it from bouncing around. Otherwise if it shorts, the smoke comes out of the processor.

Other than similar routers (e.g., the TP-Link TL-WR703N), the D-Link DIR-505 uses the interface eth1 rather than eth0. This means that if you build your own firmware, you must configure /etc/config/network accordingly (option ifname 'eth1'), or you will not be able to connect later on via Ethernet.

config interface 'lan'
        option ifname 'eth1'
        option proto 'dhcp'
