Title: DCS-2130 FIRMWARE UPDATES PLEASE?!

Hi,
I own two DCS 2130 and one DCS 2230.
Both models have been sold with really ugly firmwares. However, the recently released V1.10 firmware for the DCS-2230 has fixed all major problems (
http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=50853.0).
This still has not happened with 2130, even almost a year away from when the model was launched

. The wireless network functionality was not working on 1.00! So some months ago I decided to update from the 1.00 to the beta DCS-2130_V1.01.03_test1. That fixed the wireless connectivity which is working fine but there are a few bugs here and there like DDNS is not updated regularly as it should or NTP time not being synced periodically right. They should be addressed like they were on the higher end model DCS-2230.
I've been googling around and found some firmwares on the web though.
DLink TW (
http://tsd.dlink.com.tw/) (choose DCS, 2130, go!)
Firmware: DCS-2130 A1 FW v1.04th (for TESCO)
Release note says: V1.04th 1.Customize FW for Thailand Tesco project.
DLink IT (
http://ftp.dlink.it/Products/DCS/DCS-2130/firmware/) (FTP)
DCS-2130_1.01.03.ftp_update(0224151954).rar 11.94Mb February 27 2012 at 11:16
dcs-2130_a1_fw_v1.00.00(38620203)(0229084802).zip 12.74Mb February 29 2012 at 11:10
DCS-2130_FW_V1.10.00(0308112429).dlink 13.50Mb March 9 2012 at 10:36
DCS-2130_V1.01.03_get2avalue(0319193010)(0320100418).rar 13.73Mb March 20 2012 at 10:18
DCS-2130_V1.01.03_test1(1230174407)(0102093407).rar 13.16Mb January 20 2012 at 10:51 Looks stable, but wireless connection drops periodically and does not reconnect until a couple of hours are gone by. No use for serious surveillance.
DLink RU (
http://ftp.dlink.ru/pub/Multimedia/DCS-2130/Firmware/beta/) (FTP)
Beta Firmware: DCS-2130_V1.11.01.bin 24-Sep-2012 13:09 14M Newest beta firmware, also called "1.11wireless". Additions like COS, IPV6, Multicast and several bugfixes. Looks stable, wireless connection works fine. Although there are no release notes for it, this firmware is clearly based on the DCS-2230 V1.10.02 released firmware so release notes should be the same (
http://ftp.dlink.ru/pub/Multimedia/DCS-2230/Firmware/DCS-2230 A1_Release Note_for_FW_V1.10.02.doc). I'm using this firmware right now, seems the best.
Has anybody tested them?
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

The D-Link Global site you are referencing is commonly known as D-Link Taiwan site, as the .tw suffix denotes Taiwan. The release notes for that version are essentially blank and the firmware file name seems to stray from normal D-Link convention. This firmware looks like a one-off version made for a specific purpose and may contain language-centric changes. I'm not sure about the unique versions on the D-Link Italy site either.
As always, please be careful when installing region-specific firmware, even if the files are posted on an official D-Link source. Firmware posted for non-WW and non-NA regions may adversely impact your hardware and/or user experience (especially if the changes relate to language/time).
