HI, this no longer seems to work. I tried with my router firmware is V2.3.5.30.

Can you explain exactly what you did?
What do you mean by "change the file"?
My memory is that this is what I did:
I enabled telnet and telnetted in,
I used both:
- root@RBR50:~# rm /tmp/firmware_region
- root@RBR50:~# echo WW > /tmp/firmware_region
and check the result, it should return WW
- root@RBR50:~# cat /tmp/firmware_region
also
artmtd -r region
The region number is: 0x0002
REGION: WW
I logged back into the router and went to the advanced wireless and refreshed. This is what I see:
Region is on the Advanced Tab->Advanced Setup->Wireless Settings
