By browsing to "http://ip-of-your-meteobridge//cgi-bin/fwupdate.cgi" you can upload openwrt firmware.
Installing original DIR-505 firmware should also work, but I didn't test this.

But come on, who really wants to go back ;-) ...and the devices are really cheap.

DIR-505 has a special mode that presents a web interface during boot then reset button is pressed during power up.
This should allow you to install D-Link firmware. But it just works with a very few browsers etc.

When you google a bit around "D-Link DIR-505 emergency flashing" you will find the recipe below:

1. Plug the Ethernet cable that connects your computer, that was plugged into one of the LAN ports,
2. Setup your PC with static IP - ex: 192.168.0.2 (different from 192.168.0.1)
3. Make sure the PC has the new firmware
4. Unplug the power
5. Hold the reset button for 3~5 seconds and re plug the power WITHOUT RELEASING THE RESET BUTTON.
6.Open a web browser to 192.168.0.1 and then you should see EMERGENCY FLASHING page then click browse/upload locate the file and click UPLOAD FIRMWARE NOW
7. You should see a SUCCSESS page, If you don’t then re do steps 2-6
