Hey there,

Does anyone know how the D-link serial number works?
I have been trying to use a serial number as a way of identifying modems, and quite a few have some standard rules (eg starts with certain characters or certain length etc) so I should be able to work out the modem based on what is input.

I have a bunch of Dlink 302Gs here and the serial number is
DR56154004048
And
DR65153017316

So I am assuming that the common part is DR5615xxxxxxx? but I am not sure if that says it is D-link or D-link 302G

Also above that I see another sticker with
000f3db5fd71
And that seems to be the MAC address, so I have some ways to ID mac address so that should be all good.

Also the Netcomm use 12H.. then a number to ID the NB5 unit.

Does anyone else know of any other modem identifiers, or serial number rules like this?

Thanks heaps for your assistance!
Cheers,
ADSLgeek

All NETGEAR RoHS products carry a 13 character SN, which is printed on the bottom of the product and has the format: CCCCYMCCCCCCC. This product conforms to the aforementioned Directive provisions if character: (Y = 6 AND M = 7, 8, 9, A, B, C)
Serial Number
OR (Y = 7, 8, 9, A through H, T through Y AND M=1 through 9, A through C)

Dynalink:     
The method to decode s/n is  :  The 3rd & the 4th digit of the S/N denote the ex-factory year and month. In the 3rd digit, 2008=8; the 4th digit Jan=1, Sep=9, Oct=A, Nov=B, Dec=C, etc. For example:     
1. 6268M000310 – 3rd & 4th digits are 6 and 8. These decode to 2006 Aug.     
2. 6284M043120 – year is 2008, month is April.   
   
We can identify model from s/n straight away .
i.e.

12HXXX - is for NB5 series while
62XXX is RTA series     

Yes every serial number contains manufacturing date (warranty with factory) and some of them also contains model. So its unique though you will find patterns for the same batch     

It does depend upon manufacterer ..for Askey they use this method to decode..and they like to dynalink modems start with 6XX

And for NB9WMAXX = 089TJK02674  - its manufactred in 08-9th month.  its different but every s/n contains manufacturing date
