Flashing Meteobridge Firmware to DIR-505

D-Link DIR-505 provides a "Router Recovery Mode", but firmware update through this does not work with todays browsers. Therefore, it is recommended to use the firmware update function of the DIR-505's stock firmware. This is done in a few simple steps.

  • Download Meteobridge firmware to your Laptop: meteobridge-dir-505-v1.3.bin (or meteobridge-dir-505l-v1.3.bin if you have a DIR-505L)
  • Set mode switch of DIR-505 to "Router/AP".
  • Power-on DIR-505.
  • Wait until LED switches to green.
  • Connect your laptop with the WLAN the DIR-505 has setup. SSID and passphrase is on a separate card in the box the DIR-505 came with.
  • Start browser on your laptop and direct to "http://192.168.0.1".
  • Cancel internet setup dialog provided by stock firmware.
  • Enter as user "admin" without password.
  • Select "maintenance" tab from the horizontal menu.
  • Select "firmware" tab from the vertical menu.
  • Select downloaded Meteobridge firmware in "firmware upgrade" section and press upload button (picture on the left).
  • DIR-505 checks if firmware is compatible and starts upgrading (picture on the right). When done DIR-505 reboots as a Meteobridge.
