hello, i am completely new to this topic. I have an old Dir-600 router and I want to use it as a repeater. As I have now found out, this is only possible with a CFW. The router is on firmware version : 2.10 hardware version : Bx.
Whenever I want to upload the firmware, I get the error: Invalid image file. Please select the correct image file and upload it again.
I have tried several, wireless and wired:
dir600b-revb-ddwrt-webflash.bin
dlink-dir600b-factory-webflash.bin

Have you followed the wiki:
https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/DIR-600

See the forum guidelines with helpful pointers about how to research your router, where and what firmware to download, where and how to post and many other helpful tips:

Your stock firmware is likely locked, so try flashing some older stock build and going from there.

Or try the wiki Alternate Install Method using Emergency Room Web Interface

http://ftp.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/betas/2022/08-03-2022-r49626/dlink-dir600b/

Either way, I think for initial flash you want the dlink-dir600b-factory-webflash.bin

Only Revision B1(maybe B2) is(are) supported. This device is a Ralink. The only firmware image I can find is v2.05b1. It would take some time to scour the forum and internet to find v2.01b1 firmware file.

D-Link DIR-600 rev B5

D-link DIR-600 (someone should edit topic to add "rev B5")

D-Link DIR-600 Rev C1 - Ralink RT3350

D-Link DIR-600 rev B5 and D-Link Router Recovery Mode

A suggestion would be for the mods to lock the threads about the B5 above with a mod edit note pointing to the wiki quote and this thread in the last post of them and to lock this thread as well as I don't see the B5 magically getting support added to DD-WRT all these years later without a device in hand for testing and the patience of people wanting to use DD-WRT on this device.

Your hardware revision is which exactly? You say Bx, but x can be either a supported model or not, also just saying you have an error and not telling us what the error is, is not helpful.

So At this time I will assume you have an incompatible hardware revision. We know that B5 is incompatible and only B1/B2 are compatible.

I know you cant flash DD-WRT and unless stock firmware support repeater mode, then the answer is also no.

OpenWRT doesn't support your HW revision either. So you are stuck with your proposed usage.

There are stock firmware updates however for the B5 http://files.dlink.com.au/products/DIR-600/REV_B5/Firmware/

Mind thats Australia (may work/may not) so you may want to look at a stock upgrade for your region, which I also dont know where that is.

For UK https://media.dlink.eu/support/products/dir/dir-600/driver_software/dir-600_fw_revb_2-18_eu_multi_20150717.zip

Hello guys,

I have an old Dlink DIR-600N (Hardware version B1, firmware version 2.0) router, and I am trying to install dd-wrt from the browser and emergency flashing, and it seems I get the same error, invalid image, wondering if this version of the DLink router is supported or not ?

I have tried the methods on the link below on a number of dd-wrt versions, but have failed.
https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/DIR-600

Any lead to solve this problem would be welcomed
