@ Kitz,

I wonder if its worth it, but there does seem to be a correlation between serial numbers and V numbers at least on Netgear 614 and 624 routers.
Serial numbers are printed on the small white area of the outer box with a set of bar codes.

See :-

http://www.myopenrouter.com/article/10755/NETGEAR-WGR614-Series-Serial-Numbers-Version-Cross-Reference/

If we felt very enthusiastic perhaps a couple of dozen contributors might like to list their Netgear model numbers and serial numbers so we could try to deduce similar rules ?

Kind regards,
Walter

Interesting suggestion walter..   I dont have a DG834G here atm to check, but if anyone else does it would be interesting to see if there is a pattern.

Well I just looked at the box for my DG834Gv3 and on one edge there is a description headed "pacakge contents" that says quite clearly (in white on black) DG834Gv3 router (among other things). It's not huge, but it is there.

According to the Netgear site

Versions are identified by reading the box or the bottom label.

Interesting.... I've got a DG834Gv2 and it on the box it simply states 'DG834G' in the package contents section and DG834GUK on the white barcode label.  I suppose going from the v1 to the v2 it's fairly easy to distinguish between the models because of the different case design/colour so the picture on the box will act as the guide, but with later models it's not so obvious.  Does anyone have a v4 box?

[waltergmw]

Yes, And there's only the DG834 description.

FWIW, the box of my DG834v3 states on the bottom panel, under "Package Contents":

• Wired Modem Router (DG834v3)
