Which "revision" do I have of the WNDR3700?

[mklc]

I have a WNDR3700-100PES.
How about 100-13948-01R14?? Is this a bad revision?
Sometimes my wireless drops and it looks like the wireless loses his strenght.

I`m worried now when i would flash dd-wrt on it. That i will brick/destroy it because of the wireless issue.

i would not flash it on it. there are still bugs they need to work out. and none are actually "bad" its just some work better than others at certain things

So is the revision number not on the router anywhere? Do I have to get the box out of storage?

Right.
At least my, one of the very first (german) revision 01R10 has this number on the package only. And not on the router.

What about "01R8"?

Good or bad?

My new WNDR3700 R17 which came in a blue/purple box has the Revision 4 board - no wonder there is no difference in terms of performance between the R17 and R21, which have the same board.

Are you 100% positive the R17 is Revision 4? Reason I ask, is because I am still with in the 30 day window and my local BB has R21's now.

Thanks!

I just received a WNDR37AV from Newegg.com. The box is black with a blue top side. Box states "WNDR 37AV" with wireless N not draft-n. Neither the box nor router contain a revison number, i.e; 02R1 or 01R21. The router shipped with .49NA firmware which I updated to .68NA. I called support to find out my version based on the serial number but they were less than helpful. They claimed all of the routers were version 1 and that a revision number does not even exist. Any ideas if I have the latest revision with the 4 board?

Support told me customers are not allowed to know the revision number, and if I wanted to know that I should return mine for another one so I could get the box info!!!

I dont know why they wont do it, my guess is that it has to do with the dead 2.4ghz routers out there, if failure rates are above about 2-3% then people having the ability to know that they have a router in that "zone" of production would likely see them doing a lot of RMA's and that's something that they will want to avoid..

I would welcome anyone passing this up to support if they wish to object to this being the possible case.
