Before you begin
- Verify hardware revision: check the sticker on the router for “DSL-2750U” and revision “C1”.
- Download only firmware for DSL-2750U C1 from D-Link support site (or your ISP if they provided a custom build). Do not use other revisions.
- Unzip the downloaded file if compressed; note the .bin or .rom firmware filename.
- Backup settings: log in to router web interface → Maintenance/System or Tools → Backup/Save Configuration (if available).
- Record current settings (PPPoE username, Wi‑Fi SSID/password, static IPs) in case you need to reconfigure.
5) Install firmware
- Locate the Firmware Upgrade page in the web UI (often under Maintenance/System Tools).
- Click Choose/File and select the downloaded DSL-2750U C1 firmware file.
- Start the upgrade. Do NOT power off the router or disconnect Ethernet during the process.
- Wait until the router reboots automatically and the upgrade progress completes.
