Is v2 (version 2) of 610n being shipped by Amazon yet? Has anyone who ordered this recently (writing this note on Sep. 1, 2009) received the v2 of the router instead of the original version 1? The way to tell is my looking up whether the area near the information states "v2" or "version 2". Would appreciate a note if you've received a "version 2"!

Thanks for the replies/updates. Bummer that V2 isn't shipping yet. Is there nowhere we can buy this thing??

I ordered on Friday and received today (09.21.09). I received a v2. I, however, want to use DD-WRT firmware on this device and as I sit here, it is working fine with default Linksys software after a couple attempts with DD-WRT (no success).

Hmmm, the primary "problems" (disconnection/reliability) with the v1 were almost certainly traced back to the overheating problems as far as I understand. So the real hope is that the v2 would address that design problem (aside from the cost-reduction angle, that is) with possible heat-sink or ventilation improvements. Or so I am hoping.Either ways, Dogma512 and Tusker, thanks for your note and would appreciate your comments on how you are finding the v1 units. How are they doing, especially on the reliability front ?

Someone posted in the following link at the forum over at SmallnetBuilder that they have received the v2 from Amazon. That doesn't guarantee someone else will, however, but I am personally worth considering the new Netgear Rangemax WNDR3700 given the excellent reviews and reported stability (and similar cost).http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showthread.php?t=229&page;=16

My v1 is massively overheating after being used for just one day. When I came home last night the unit was very warm to the touch and it was unusable as a network gateway due to latency. A site that should have had a ping around 90ms was at 2600+ ms. Turning the unit upside down and powercycling it helped. The ping came down to 1000+ as it started to cool and back down to 90ms by this morning. Avoid the v1!!!

I am currently with an Asus router and don't seem to have issues. I've got with a Linksys router issues, but have no idea what to do. Didn't have issues with Trendnet router as well

I purchased this router on December 3rd (not too long after the announcement of V2.0) and received v2.0

It's not a set time. Currently Router OS is on v6, and this model will get upgrades through v8. There was about three years between v5 and v6, so it's probably going to be several years at least. --- It seems there's no longer an update limit, so the license is for the life of the hardware, updates included. This is in the license section of their wiki: "Instead we have lowered the prices, and removed the software update time limit." http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:License

I just got mine (May 11 2007) and it's version 8. Downsized version... Shame, instead of discontinuing the model, Cisco cuts it in half and sells it for the same price... Do they think we're stupid? I'm returning mine.

I have received the router and it is the v3 so I'd say they have exhausted all of the v2 stock that they had. Thanks for the input though. My problem now is that with two repeaters, my web speeds have really dropped. I am already preparing to return my router and buy a 24 port switch and start hard wiring the house. Another fun project...

Maryanne, I haven't used it yet, just got it a few weeks ago and haven't used it. I picked it up for small router not sure yet. When I do I will post..

I just received mine this morning and I got a V3. I was worried that I would end up getting a V2 since DD-WRT can't work with it but I am going to install it tommorrow and give you the results :-D

There are two different hardware versions out for this router, v1 with 2x USB 2.0 ports and v2 with 1x USB 2.0 and 1x USB 3.0 ports. Most of these routers in the retail channels now SHOULD be v2 and come with the USB 3.0 port, but used and refurbished ones are likely to still be v1 with only USB 2.0 ports.

The DGND3700 I received yesterday from Amazon was v1. It seems to work, so I'm not planning to try to exchange it for a v2.

There is a sticker next to the SKU which contains the serial number, firmware version, and hardware version. The latter will look like "H/W:V1.0R" for the version 1 model. Apart from the USB 3.0 port, TrendNet claims other improvements for Version 2: http://www.trendnet.com/press/releases/view.asp?id=2673

I ordered two of these and one was v1.1 and the other was 1.2. The version 1.1 was defective so I sent it back. Version 1.2 works flawlessly, and I actually get better range than I was expecting. So I don't think they're is anyway to guarantee which version will be shipped to you.

Thanks so much for your replies! It seems Amazon is shipping the old version, but it's fine and better yet, the price is good. thanks again!

My understanding is that the 4210 is the same basic unit as the 4212. Where the difference lies is in which interchangeable templates are supplied with the unit. The 4210 comes with only the half blind template, the 4212 with half blind and through templates and the 4214? With half blind, through and mini through templates. Obviously relevant router bits and router inserts are supplied for each template as well.I'd note that it is cheaper to simply buy the unit which contains the templates that you require as opposed to buying them afterwards. In my case I was forced into the latter due to the fact that Amazon would only ship the 4212 but not the higher model to my location.

I haven't updated/connected to my router in a while, so I'm not sure what version I am running and I would need to drag out my laptop to check it. If you had no problems with 1.88 I would try going back to it. If that doesn't work then contact support/RMA it.

I'm familiar with the model numbers and what bands they are...I want to know if the resellers are selling the i9020a as the listing suggests.Reason being, Amazon's listing (their actual one) is 2-4 weeks out fro shipping. I want it sooner.

I purchased mine in Dec 2014 and got the v1.2.1 - argh!!! It said "ships & sold by Amazon".
