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

According to DD-WRT webpage, v2 is supported. Give it a shot.http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices#Linksys

Unfortunately V2 is not supported according to their websiteGo to www.dd-wrt.comsearch router database for WRT160nManufacturer Model Revision Supported Activation requiredLinksys WRT160N 2.0 no no

I recieved mine today and unfortunately I got a v2 so no dd-wrt for me. Luckily I sold it to a friend that doesnt want to use dd-wrt.

I placed my order on January 10th 2010 and I got v2. Unfortunately, I cant install DD-WRT, but I put the latest Linksys firmware on it, and it has been working fine doing just your standard web browsing. No problems yet...

My 1400 is H/W ver. 2.0 according to the label on the bottom of the router and MBR1400v2 from the router details on the configuration pages. The firmware is v4.4.2. I have not updated to firmware version 5.0

So How did it go Brent? I want to order this router as well and may just do it today. I am hoping they ship me V2 just to make my life easier. Would love some feedback from you.

I have version #1 produced before Linksys was acquired by Cisco. I have kept it up to date with firmware updates.

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

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

YES! I've reported this to Netgear support and all they want me to do is keep sending them proof of purchase information and what not, and not addressing the issue! I had a batch of routers come stock with firmware versions 1.2.0.16_40.0.66 & 1.2.0.32_40.0.74 and both give insanely poor wireless speed tests, barely over 1M. After I installed firmware version 1.2.0.28_40.0.72, then wireless speed tests matched wired tests. Hope this was helpful to anyone having the same issues!

This is not V2. the V2 version has a part number " FI9821W V2 HD ". Hope this helps you

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.

Bosch1617 EVS. Excellent router and mounts right up. I wouldn't bother with anything else.

Both routers look great and meet my requirements. SlikLizrd, can you specify how much is one better than the other for: - Wired and Wireless performance - Wireless Range - NAS performance - Media Server performance Thanks

Hi This particular product is version 1. The one for version 2 is this http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-Performance-Dual-Band-E4200-v2/dp/B0068ALV8Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354196392&sr=8-1&keywords=e4200v2 . You are also correct that the different versions of the router accounts for different CPU or chipset. Thanks, Cisco-Linksys Support http://homesupport.cisco.com

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 use a v4 with my v2 and they work fine. There may be an issue where encryption between the versions is incompatible, but I don't use the encryption feature, so that doesn't matter to me.

Thanks. I decided to go for it. My parents have the older model and I decided that if it didn't work for me we could trade routers. It ended up working beautifully, and so far I am quite satisfied. I haven't tried out all the new features yet, but I am getting good connection throughout the house.

Sorry. I winded up returning mine due to conflicts with 3 different routers and then getting incompetence regarding 'tech' support.
