Hardware

It is important to note, DIR-300 Rev A1 and Rev B1 are completely different hardware, different SoC,

different procedure. So, if you have the old DIR-300 Rev A router, its install procedure is already  well

documented elsewhere. Rev B1 is based on Ralink RT3050 SoC and from all accounts, including Dlink's FCC

test report, the PCBA is exactly the same as in the DIR-600.

You can tell which Rev of the hardware this router is from the box (it will say "H/W Ver: B1 F/W Ver 2.00"

for example on the bottom of the box, underneath the barcode. "H/W Ver.: B5 F/W Ver.: 2.10" is not

supported and does not work.

 ). A similar sticker with the hardware version and firmware version is also

stuck on the bottom of the router itself. This means it's quick and easy to check the hardware revision before

buying or borrowing it.

The factory default IP for this router is 192.168.0.1, user is "admin", password is blank.
