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!
