Firmware Upgrade Procedures: D-Link DIR-130 v1 FW 1.12 (And 1.10)
Firmware Upgrade Procedures: D-Link DIR-130 v1 FW 1.12 (And 1.10)
1. General Information
Make: D-Link
Model: DIR-130
Hardware Version: 1 (labeled on the device as A1)
Firmware Version: 1.10, 1.12
Defaults Settings/Configuration:
Default LAN IP Address: 192.168.0.1
Web Interface Username: admin
Default Web Interface Password: (empty)
Limitations: if you are upgrading from a 1.10 firmware to a Cherry Blossom 1.12
firmware, you will first need to upgrade to the manufacturer’s 1.12 firmware (included on
CD as dir130_firmware_112_MANU_ORIGINAL.bin).
IMPORTANT: Use Internet Explorer browser when upgrading (Firefox 3.5 does not
work).
Instructions:
• Connect a wired (ethernet) client with DHCP enabled to a LAN port on the device
with an ethernet cable. If you are not served an IP address by the device, you will
need to determine the device LAN IP address (see next step) and manually assign
the wired client an IP address in the same subnet as the device LAN IP address.
For example, if the device LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, assign yourself an IP
address of 192.168.0.11.
• Determine the <Device_LAN_IP_Address>. If the device is running DHCP, the
device IP address is likely the default gateway of your connected client;
otherwise, if the device IP address is not the default IP address listed above, the
device IP address can be retrieved using a network discovery tool (e.g., nmap).
• Log on to the device’s web interface by opening a Internet Explorer and pointing
it to http://<Device_LAN_IP_Address>, where “<Device_LAN_IP_Address>” is
the device IP address determined from the previous step (i.e., not the literal string
“<Device_LAN_IP_Address>”). For example, if the <Device_LAN_IP_Address>
is 192.168.0.1, use http://192.168.0.1.
• At the login prompt, enter the web interface username/password and click OK.
• IMPORTANT: if the firmware version in the upper right of the screen is “1.10”,
and you are upgrading to a “1.12” Cherry Blossom firmware, you must first
upgrade the device to the manufacturer’s 1.12 firmware (included on the CD).
Follow the remaining steps, using the manufacturer’s original 1.12 firmware from
the CD (dir130_firmware_112_MANU_ORIGINAL.bin).
• To upgrade firmware, click the “Maintenance” tab on the upper center of the
page.
• Then click the “Firmware” link on the left.
• Click the firmware updates “Check Now” (or similar) button and wait for a
response.
• Click the “Browse…” button by the “Update:” box and browse to the
dir130_firmware_N[X].bin firmware file on the client computer (if you are
upgrading to the manufacturer’s original 1.12, use
dir130_firmware_112_MANU_ORIGINAL.bin).
• Click the “Apply” button.
• Watch the interface for any additional steps/error messages/information.
