I believe you may be the victim of semantics. These types of devices are identified by what is called an IMEI which is a type of elecronic serial number. You will find it on a sticker under the battery. I also believe you can find this on the GUI on the router by signing into it. Good luck.

I will try that - thanks. The serial number input says 13 digits, but I will try the IMEI.

Well that could be an issue because the IMEI is 15 digits.

Thanks. The IMEI on the Mobile Router box is much longer than that : (
So I give up at this point. I will try to figure out how a person contacts actual support within Netgear, but I'm not optimistic that this product works, or will work. Thanks for your help.

I am going to correct myself and apologize for erroneous information. If you look on the sticker behind the battery under the IMEI number there is a very small, bearly readable serial number listed. Get out your glasses.

No harm no foul. You are very kind. And yes it is unbelievably small print : )
