Find out WNDR3700 version running OpenWrt already

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hello everyone,
long time ago i installed OpenWrt 18.06.2 r7676-cddd7b4c77 on my WNDR3700.
Now i need to RMA my current router and was looking forward to put it back to work.
I'm quite sure i either have v1 or v2 but i'm struggling to find out properly.
The only hint i have is here

where flash shall be 8 MiB or 16 MiB

From OpenWrt i see the following

so definitely v1 or v2 from the chip.
From the kernel log i also see

[    3.048980] m25p80 spi0.0: found mx25l6405d, expected m25p80
[    3.055089] m25p80 spi0.0: mx25l6405d (8192 Kbytes)

so it seems it is a V1? But why the current openwrt is expecting something else? :smiley:

Is there a sticker at the bottom of it, what does it say ?

Hello frollic,
the sticker on the router is only saying WNDR3700, there is a serial as well but on netgear site it didn't work. Unfortunately i have yet to find its box

On the netgear forum i've found a comment

Look at the product label. Plain "WNDR3700" with no "vX" suffix is "v1".

also from the log i see

1. [ 3.065935] Creating 4 MTD partitions on "spi0.0":

0x000000800000 --> this one is roughly 8MiB

I see.
I went with the v1 firmware and now its up and running.
so if anyone will be in a similar condition i guess v1 is the right choice
