I was trying to install dd-wrt on it but it didn't work well. So I'm trying to load the original D-link firmware... I can always get to the emergency firmware upload page after resetting the router but whenever I try uploading the firmware it hangs for a couple seconds and times out... doesn't respond to pings either. I've tried both ver 1.10 and 1.12 of the firmware here http://www.dlink.com/us/en/support/product/dir-330-ethernet-vpn-router-8-port-10-100-switch

On the back of your router, there will be a little reset button. This thing:
Stick a paperclip in there and it will reset to factory default. This will also reset the firmware.

What do you mean by "reset the firmware"? I highly doubt a factory reset will do anything to the firmware. Aug 21, 2013 at 22:06

When you restore your router to factory default it restores to to exactly as it came from the factory. At least, when I did this to my router (a D-Link DIR-655) it did.– JonAug 21, 2013 at 22:16

It resets the NVRAM (settings, etc.), but it does not reset the firmware back to the version shipped by the factory. If you flash it with a new firmware, you can reset it all you want but it'll still have the new firmware. Aug 21, 2013 at 22:25

did the 30/30/30 reset... held reset for 30 seconds while power on, unplugged while holding reset still for 30 seconds, then turned it back on with power on and held for another 30 seconds... also with power off held reset and plugged it in for another 10 seconds..– heri0nAug 21, 2013 at 22:29

On my router (also a D-Link) it works, guess it's model specific. Sorry.– JonAug 21, 2013 at 23:01
Power off the router, and press and hold reset button for 10-15 sec (then release reset button).
Set IP address of the PC to static address in 192.168.x.x range (for example
192.168.2.1).Open http://192.168.0.1 in browser. Upload a text file containing the string "HD0" (without quotation marks).
Wait until
ping 192.168.0.2responds. Then send the firmware file to the router using something liketftp.exe -i 192.168.0.2 firmware.bin(Windows TFTP client) ortftp -m binary 192.168.0.2 -c put firmware.bin(Linuxtfp), substituting "firmware.bin" with the one you want to record in the router.
It refers specifically to the DIR-330.

I'm trying to understand what you wrote: 1) Which one the text file content should be: just
HD0or"HD0" !!!(or is it some other combination)? 2) Then reboot router? 3) wait until it responds to ping on .2 IP? (I'm just trying to decipher what sure looks like an promising answer but is very hard to read) Sep 16, 2016 at 7:12 -
I really do not know much English. The text file contains HD0. Sep 20, 2016 at 16:22

I really do not know much English. The text file contains HD0. router power off? press button reset, not release reset button power on router. Wait 10 - 15 sec and release reset buton, wait ping 192.168.0.1 ( before set static address in PC 192.168.10 or 192.168.XX ), open in browser 192.169.0.1 and choce this text file, press upload... And wait ping 192.168.0.2 !!! Then send the firmware file -i TFTP 192.168.0.2 firmware.bin, or the one you want to record in the router. It refers specifically to the DIR-330. Sep 20, 2016 at 16:31

Ok, this was much more understandable (and very different from the original, even with the order of steps etc, so to me it is not just about your English skills but also overall written expression). I did more than I should have done and edited the answer based on what you now wrote, I hope I got it right... and anyway, you can always further edit it yourself in case the procedure still isn't correct.
