Third Party Firmware

The WHR-300HP ships with the Buffalo "User Friendly" firmware build, which will not install third-party firmware.

• The Buffalo "Pro" firmware build must be installed on the WHR-300HP before upgrading to DD-WRT or any other third-party firmware.

1. Download and unzip the CD image for WHR Series wireless router from Buffalo.
2. Install the \whr-series_sw106\Firmware\WHR-300HP\Professional_v24sp2-19438.enc firmware image on the WHR-300HP.
3. Doing this resets the WHR-300HP to factory defaults. (IP=192.168.11.1 Username=admin Password=password)
4. Install a regular DD-WRT firmware image for the WHR-HP-G300N on the WHR-300HP.

• Builds compatible with the WHR-HP-G300N:

-DD-WRT v3.0-r32170 std (06/01/17)

-DD-WRT v3.0-r31825 std (04/06/17)

N.B. The previously recommended build, (r24461) prevented upgrading or downgrading the firmware. If stuck, follow the fix instructions here .

• The OpenWrt BarrierBreaker 14.07-rc2 build for the WHR-HP-G300N is compatible with the

WHR-300HP, but the internal flash is too small to install the Luci web management interface.
