How To Identify Which Model Router You Have

by benryanau

After spending an hour researching the variants of the Netgear WNR3500 family and their

specs prior to a purchase, I realized this would he handy to post up somewhere.

So, I thought I'd table it up and share it, since there wasn't a concise guide anywhere

on the web already. Hopefully this will help some people out!

Model	Flash /RAM	CPU	USB	Ant	WLAN	Eth	WAN	Notes	FCC ID
WNR3500 v1	8/32	Marvell 88F5180NB1 @500 TopDog	No	2 int.	N300	4x GbE	GigE	Blue Antenna LEDs on top	PY307300074
