Old FVS318
Please, no one laugh. I have an old FVS318, a thrift store special. I assume it is a V2 since the firmware defaults to V2.4 July. 19 2004. V2.4 firmware was the last offer for the V2. Am I correct?
I am not worried about security as this router will be the third leg of a 4 router network and connected to a dedicated PC. Specifically, it will be used for Amateur Radio EchoLink and ports will be open to the world. My best router will be the border. All my IoT junk will have their router and PCs another.
Other than the nearest dumpster, any suggestions? Can this router be upgraded?

What does it say on the product label?

I find a V1 that is a wireless model. V3 has a manual dated 2012. The only remaining choice is the V2 but I would like to confirm.

"upgraded" to what?This was basicly a repeat of what I said at first. If this is a V2 it came with the latest firmware. But is it?
