NOTE: New D-Link firmwares may contain new u-boot bootloader, so you may have problems with installing via emergency web interface.

The DIR-610 A1 router have an emergency HTTP web interface that is accessible at http://192.168.0.1 with this you can upload firmware if you accidently locked yourself out of the router or broke the installed firmware.

First, download a pre-compiled build for the DIR-610 A1. Download links see above. If you're flashing from the original D-Link firmware, use the factory builds.

NOTE: Use the correct build for your hardware version! This can be found on the router itself or on the box it came in. e.g.: H/W Ver: A1.

• To access the emergency web interface to flash the new firmware first unplug the power cable from the router, press and hold the reset button, plug the power cable back in while still holding the reset button and hold it for at least 5 seconds until the LED starts blinking, then release the reset button.
• Attach a network cable to one of the LAN ports (1 to 4) on the router and the other end to your computers Ethernet port.
• Set your computers Ethernet IP to: 192.168.0.33 and the Subnet to 255.255.255.0.

NOTE: Disable any other interfaces present on your computer before proceeding, as example wireless interfaces, to minimize confusion.

• Open a web-browser on your computer and access the emergency web interface at http://192.168.0.1.
• Choose 'browse' and select your previously downloaded firmware file (.bin file extension).
• Press 'upload' and watch the timer countdown from 90 seconds. At the end of the countdown the webpage will try to refresh but will fail.
• At this point set your computers network interface to obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP) and it should obtain a new address in the 192.168.1.X range.

You can now login to your router flashed with OpenWrt via your web-browser at: http://192.168.1.1.

If you can't connect via your browser connect via SSH to 192.168.1.1, set a password (optional for now but recommended), enable WiFi, connect your routers WAN-Port to an existing network of yours, connect to the now open Wireless Network called “OpenWrt”, SSH into 192.168.1.1 again, do opkg update and opkg install luci to get a web interface.

NOTE: Upload may fail with modern browsers like Chrome, Safari, etc. If upload page times out or router restarts, use curl instead, i.e.:

curl --form filename=@openwrt-*-squashfs-factory.bin --form post=Upload\ firmware\ NOW 192.168.0.1

If you have already installed a version of OpenWrt and you wish to upgrade your installation you can use sysupgrade.

• First upload the new firmware on your device.
• Then flash it with sysupgrade.

scp openwrt-*-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/
sysupgrade /tmp/openwrt-*-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

If you wish to reset your configuration you can add -n to sysupgrade.
