With its built-in ADSL modem, the DSL-2640B connects to a phone socket and provides a secure and high-speed Internet access for homes and offices.
Setting up the router and adapter is easy even for non-technically minded people, with D-Link Click'n Connect: run directly from the product CD-ROM, this wizard takes you through an interactive step-by-step guide, including installation of the adapter.
A powerful dual firewall (SPI and NAT) prevents Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and attempts to breach your network from the Internet. You can also define a list of allowed sites to restrict web access during certain periods.

Excellent, works well. Gets a little hot but nothing to worry about.
RE: MAC Address filtering. Not checked mine, but MAC filtering is minimal security at best. MAC Spoofing is very easy to do, and so is capturing packets to find the address. Just use WPA2, MAC filtering is not worth the hastle TBH
Love it. I have no experience with networks, and this is my first venture into broadband, but had absolutely no problems installing this modem. As soon as you open the box, it says "Insert CD first!", so I did. The on-screen instruction are very clear and easy to follow, and it auto-configured my modem without a problem. Wireless transmission strength is ok, travelling through two rooms and upstairs in my semi easily enough, but then again I do have a Edimax free-aerial WiFi card in my desktop, not one of these silly little USB stick things. The result is a "poor" signal strength, but the transmission rate on "poor" is still three times my broadband connection speed, so there's no slow-down of internet at all :-) Box includes 2 micro-filters, an ethernet patch cable, and two DSL cables. Unit looks neat, although it would be nice to have a vertical mount stand to reduce its footprint a bit. Only had it one day, but I'd already recommend it :-)
Had this modem/router foisted on me after my DSL-G624T died on me after 2 weeks. It took about 7 weeks from first reporting the issue with D-Link to get a replacement. Their email based support is woefully slow and formats the emails badly.
Generally happy with it apart from trying to set up MAC address filtering which is barely mentioned in the manual and not at all in the web based config utility.
I would probably not buy another D-Link product based on this experience.
