'N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router' Product page Support page

Manuf. by Hon Hai / Foxconn (per this firmware file, the internal model is probably U12H189 [U12H189T00], file is nearly 8MB)

The source code for the device is available on Netgear's FTP server.

Each wireless interface has three U.FL connectors. The BCM4706 has a MIPS32 74K core and identifies as a BCM5300.

The default SSIDs appear to be NETGEARXX and NETGEARXX-5G where XX is a number.
