D-Link DIR-505 can be flashed most easily by the build in "Router Recovery Mode". To get there simply keep the reset button behing the pin hole pressed with the leg of a paper clip until the red led starts flashing slowly. This indicates that DIR-505 is now located at static IP 192.168.0.1 and is ready to upload a new firware. Configure your browsing PC to an IP in the same class-c subnet (192.168.0.123, for example) and browse to 192.168.0.1 and start screen displayed below (on the left) will appear. Web page offered by the router in recovery mode is a bit picky regarding browsers. Safari browser on Mac OS-X does work flawlessly, some other browsers on a Windows environments are reported to have problems. So you might have to try a bit until you have found a browser that can access the routers web content. When your browser don't reach the completed status (picture on the right) the flashing has not be done.
