Amazon sells the 3300 in v2 for the United States. I just purchased one and that's what it is. I upgraded the firmware by downloading it from the Netgear website, and while there I noticed it seems that v1 may be just a router without the DSL modem built in, or it has a DSL modem based on different coding standards than are used in the US.

Are you able to get v2 by a software upgrade or is just a case of "let the buyer beware"?

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

I'm dealing with this now. I called Comcast, gave them the MAC and serial numbers, and they said this modem is not compatible. Their list of compatible cable modems at http://mydeviceinfo.comcast.net shows the NetGear CG3000DCR and CG3000Dv2. So now I am trying to upgrade this CG3000D to CG3000Dv2, but it does not look good. Waiting for NetGear tech support chat as I write... I might need to return this cable modem, and order one on the list. More later...NetGear's answer: No. See http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/24324DO NOT BUY IF YOU ARE A COMCAST CUSTOMER.

Newegg lists the V2 for the same price. Amazon can't be bothered to update their listing, just buy from Newegg.

Hi Timothy,I have purchased more than a dozen FVS336Gv2 routers for my clients and also deploy them in my own offices. The v2 has a significantly stronger processer than the previous version; I wouldn't want anything else. The v2 is NOT what is in the picture; the ports are in the front and only the power is in the back. HTH,Keith Parker

I can't respond because I'm not that technical. However, when specifications are important....I will data mine info from Manufacturer Web-site to confirm comparability! I've been COMPLETELY SATISFIED with the NETGEAR product I have in place.

The V1 work very well for me, faster download and have 2 USB ports 2.0 (important to update firmware version when installing the V1). I understand that the V2 different is that the second USB port is 3.0

All the network items like routers that I've bought from Amazon are the most current versions. No guarantees of course, but they move so much inventory I can't imagine they would still have old versions lying about.

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...

Where did you get this information? Don't spread false rumors please. On the netgear forums you can actually see people post pics of both pcbs with identical components. Nothing was changed except the outer box. THEY ARE BOTH THE SAME. 3700 v2 has not come out yet. Pretty much all you want is to look for the rev21 boards as those are the best ones out there. For the 3700 usually a red box means its rev21 the yellow boxe means you need to check the upc to make sure. 37av is the same as a red box rev21.The major rev you need to stay away from is rev15, its reported with the most major problems.http://forum1.netgear.com/showthread.php?t=52714&page;=1 Where did you get this information?

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.

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 ?

Well i bought one hoping to get a V2 model. With my luck, i managed to get a V1. What a waste! I live outside the US...returning this crap is just not feasible for me. I needed V2 because i wanted to try out Facebook WiFi....which is only supported on V2.

Version number is under the barcode, beneath the battery. Beware if you plan to use dd-wrt or openwrt software, version v2.x is ... 'differently compatible'. Mine is v2.2, purchased 12/2013. Apparently newer firmwares (for newer 3G/4G parts) create issues with mods. Read up.
