How to find manufacture year of the ORBI Router

 

I have puchased a new Router (RBK50) from Amazon and as per Netgear Technical team, it was manufactured 2016 and refurbished. Amazon is saying that it is a new router. I have connection issues and Technical support team has advised to change the router. Is there a way to find the the manufacture year and whether it is new or refurbished?

      The serial number almost certainly lets Netgear know when it was manufactured.  Nothing visible to the user.
