I recently bought the DWR-953 because it supports a 4G WAN connection. It's firmware seems to offer quite limited features compared to my older D-link router, a DIR-645, which runs the firmware with the orange band on top. In addition, the accompanying user manual is of little help as it only provides absolutely obvious information.

I was trying to invoke MAC address filtering (my intention was to block off a particular device), but it seems as if the device only offers white listing, not black listing:

The two options I have available are:

"Wireless clients with A selected can associate to the wireless LAN and allow/deny connections from unspecified MAC addresses."

"Wireless and wired clients with C selected can connect to this device and allow/deny connections from unspecified MACaddresses."

(see manual here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/977114/D-Link-Dwr-118.html?page=41)

Is there a way to block of one particular device but allow other devices, provided they have the WPA2 access key?

Also, is there a way to replace the current firmware with the "orange" one?

No, older FW is not compatible with newer versions of DWR models.

If the 935 offers white listing, then reverse your thinking and add the devices that are allowed. I presume all others would be blocked...

For more help and information regarding this, I recommend that you phone contact your regional D-Link support office and ask for help and information regarding this. We find that phone contact has better immediate results over using email.
