| [Help Me] Need Firmware for DSL-2640B
I've seen on a few sites that people are using the firmware version 3.06 for d-link model DSL-2640B (hardware version B2) but I have not been able to find any sites with this download. Closest I have found is the GPL Source code for this firmware located here:
»tsd.dlink.com.tw/downloadsdetail···rect=Yes
If anyone has any information on where i can find the firmware, please let me know. I would like to set custom port settings for hosted applications and I can not seem to do this though the 1.00 firmware version. |

I have just updated, and all seems good. New options.
But I'm still stumped 
Can you please tell me how to enable MAC address filtering so only MAC addresses I enter manually can enter the network.
I can't seem to fathom it. I have WPA enabled and so it's secure that way, but having it acting as a dhcp server and having UPNP enabled makes me paranoid.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers |

| Hi, I can't help you with the config for that I'm in UK, but can you check your WPA security settings as one of my mates said there is an issue with the new firmware on his router that the security settings stay open with WPA. I cannot replicate his issue just wondering if anybosy else has experienced this.

I tried the BT_3.07b5 firmware but it had problems.
I could not access the interface every so often without a reboot.

I just updated my USA router using 3.06b1. I used the firmware file that was "EU_DSL-2640B_3.06b1_306063V00_cfe_fs_kernel_wo_fw_lock(0BD9)" (I figured without firmware lock sounded better). I backed up my settings before updating, and after updating just needed to load them to get my internet access back online. The router remembered my router password and WEP settings. Works great and the new interface is much improved. |

Thanks to everyone who replied. I will be testing this new firmware out this weekend but I can't imagine running into any problems.
All the responses are much appreciated. Looks like I was just a little too hesitant in waiting for this firmware package to be released for download. |

To admin the wireless MAC list, please telnet/SSH to your DSL-2640b through the terminal interface. Actually if you already set up some wireless MAC policy before updating the firmware, it is probably still kept in the memory of the router. Too bad this is not available through the new web interface. |

This seems to be the original firmware for the US.

@qwest.net | Although, now that I upgraded to the european firmware for the dsl-2640b, I cannot reload the us version of the firmware.
Any Ideas? I have tried the tftp command via telnet to no avail.

D-Link released a new firmware (version 4.00) that enables wireless MAC filtering.
»ftp://ftp.dlink.co.uk/dsl_routers_mode···l-2640b/
I downloaded it and unzipped it ... but when I tried to upgrade the firmware, it says to enter in a valid filename. I did not change the name when I unzipped the file. Also, I downloaded the older version 3.06 to test it out and the result was the same.
Has anyone else encountered the same problem? |

Yes, I have the same problem. Not a valid name... weird. Maybe D-Link uploaded an incorrect file... |

| I don't think so. The link is the same one that haygood2 used to get the 3.06b1 version and he was able to flash his modem.
As I mentioned, I tried to use the same file and it still says it is not a valid name.
Not sure what the problem is and the model I have is a UK version. Oh well ... the MAC filtering isn't really needed especially since I find that the range is very limited. I might just continue to use a LAN connection. |

| Hello,
Long-time reader first time poster here!
I had the same problem (Invalid filename) when trying to update it using Firefox and Opera... BUT, using Internet Explorer was a different history. Apparently it has something to do with Javascript validation in the browsers.
I'm now running firmware ver 4.00 and is more stable than previous versions. BTW, I haven't be able to revert to US firmware versions since I took the decision to use EU firmwares... hope I'm not missing something...
Hope I was helpful! |

| Thanks, Seph!!! IE worked perfectly. And this new version is more versatile than the previous one. Although I use a random 63 character WPA2-AES passkey, it's just nice to have MAC filtering, too.
I actually purchased my modem from the UK on ebay. So I don't know if there are any differences when compared to modems running the US firmware. But looking at the US manual, the interface looked pretty hideous in comparison to the UK version.
Anyhow, I knew that Firefox had some issues that IE didn't ... but I never thought that it was Firefox that was the problem! Next time something doesn't work in Firefox, I'll know to try another browser.
Again, many thanks! I'm glad that you finally decided to post. I generally don't like to post either, but ever since I changed from Bell to Acanac, I've been posting very frequently on the Acanac Community forums on their site. |
