How do I go about finding out what the manufacture date is of my router?

In recent device models and in firmware updates to older models, Netgear has depreciated telnet access to the router operating system.
If you use your access login address and append /debug.htm, do you see a checkbox option to enable telnet?

Recent devices, and old ones with new firmware, do not allow Telnet.
I doubt if the RAX45 ever supported telnet. Too new.
In any case, would that tell you the manufacturing date?
And what would that tell anyone even if they knew the answer?
