I'm troubleshooting a customer issue in which interoperability with a DLINK is a factor. They have D Link Model : DSL-2540U w/ Version firmware : RU_DSL-2540U_1.00_01112008 I'm guessing this is the same 'really old' firmware you mentioned in your article Thanks for your article.

I do offered wireless but household voted against. Well, less hassle with security for me. :) @Brad
