Nothing on the Billion site, can't even find a driver for this custom peace of junk that they sell ...
Need a driver, CD got scratched on the way here.
Big Black box blues ... MWEB sure sucks for implementing this. All that needs to be changed is a VCI setting on your modem that they dont allow you to change.

Firmware won't be found on the CD, however software will. Dont think there is a way to overwrite mweb's firmware on that router. Just go buy a new one

Nope the firmware wont be on the CD but if I can telnet into the router it could help.
No one has ever heard of a W40 ... I'm thinking its a 7300 or lower end model and they wont disclose what model it is or where to get additional drivers for it nor firmware.
