If you want to upgrade using TFTP you follow these steps (as an alternative to the above install process.

• Browse to http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/mini/system/upgrade/ LuCI Upgrade URL

• Upload TRX file to LuCI

• Wait for reboot

• Login as root via SSH on 192.168.1.1

• Use the following commands to upgrade.

cd /tmp/wget https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/brcm47xx/legacy/openwrt-brcm47xx-legacy-squashfs.trxsysupgrade openwrt-brcm47xx-legacy-squashfs.trx

To use kernel 2.6 and b43 driver you need to compile your image from trunk. For working image you need to run “make menuconfig” and select:

Model Number

Note: This will void your warranty!

• There are two screws holding the case covered by ribbons, placed near the back of the bottom cover.

• There are two screws holding the PCB to the bottom cover, places near front.

PCB:

The default network configuration is:

Numbers 1-4 are Ports 1-4 as labeled on the unit, number 0 is the Internet (WAN) on the unit, 5 is the internal connection to the router itself.

• Unplug the router's power cord.

• Connect the router's LAN1 port directly to your PC.

• Configure your PC with a static IP address between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254. E. g. 192.168.1.2 (gateway and DNS is not required).

• Plug the power on and wait for the DMZ LED to light up.

• While the DMZ LED is on immediately press any button (Reset and Secure Easy Setup will work) a few times .

• If done right the DMZ LED will quickly flash 3 times every second.

• You should be able to telnet to the router at 192.168.1.1 now (no username and password)

NOTE: The root file system in failsafe mode is the SquashFS partition mounted in readonly mode. To switch to the normal writable root file system run mount_root and make any changes. Run mount_root now.

1. Forgot/lost your password and you like to set a new one

passwd

1. Forgot the routers IP address

uci get network.lan.ipaddr

1. You accidentally run 'ipkg upgrade' or filled up the flash by installing to big packages (clean the JFFS2 partition and start over)

mtd -r erase rootfs_dataIf you are done with failsafe mode power cycle the router and boot in normal mode.

The Dlink DIR-320 has two buttons. They are Reset and Secure Easy Setup. The buttons can be used with hotplug events. E. g. [#wifitoggle WiFi toggle].Prior to Chaos Calmer 15.04:

For Chaos Calmer 15.04:

There are 5 leds:

Prior to Chaos Calmer 15.04:

 - /proc/diag/led/blue - /proc/diag/led/red - /proc/diag/led/wlan - /proc/diag/led/diag - /proc/diag/led/usbYou can swich them on or off by "echo 0|1 >> /proc/diag/led/blue|red|wlan|diag|usb"

For Chaos Calmer 15.04:

no board detected so no leds configured.but leds maybe configured by gpio:root@Cottage:~# cd /sys/class/gpio/root@Cottage:/sys/class/gpio# echo 5 > exportroot@Cottage:/sys/class/gpio# echo out > gpio5/directionroot@Cottage:/sys/class/gpio# echo 1 > gpio5/valueand LED USB is Onfor support leds by led driver need to upload patch for kernel source tree.

If the boot loader is not rewritten, you may download and boot the image via TFTP.

The boot loader “CFE” set the IP address 192.168.0.1 with the mask 24 bits, start the TFTP server and wait two seconds for tftp upload. The “window” of the TFTP upload are 4-5 seconds after power on.
You may set the IP address on your computer to 192.168.0.2 (or any address of the range 192.168.0.2-254), plug the power jack into router, wait for link is up and TFTP-put the TRX file to 192.168.0.1. The router will flashing uploaded firmware and boot.

Example.

$ tftp -v4l -m binary 192.168.0.1 -c put openwrt-15.05.1-brcm47xx-generic-squashfs.trxmode set to octetConnected to 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1), port 69putting openwrt-15.05.1-brcm47xx-generic-squashfs.trx to 192.168.0.1:openwrt-15.05.1-brcm47xx-generic-squashfs.trx [octet]Error code 3: transfer cancelledSent 3801088 bytes in 1.2 seconds [26031948 bit/s]

In the stock firmware, also, you may reset to factory defaults: press the “Reset” button at first 5 seconds of boot.

Note that various USB-Ethernet, or Thunderbolt-Ethernet dongles may not work, because the time it takes for them to initialize the connection at low level is too long and the OS may get the cable-connected event after the router stopped waiting for firmware.
