       And confusing.

       "N600" is a speed, not a model number.  Ever helpful, Netgear
    product packaging emphasizes speeds like "Nxxx", but that's not the
    model identifier.  Look at the product label.

       "look rhis product up" _where_?  _What_, exactly, says _what_,
    exactly?  "So which is" _what_?

       Presumably, if you "purchased" some gizmo or other, then _you_ can
    see what's on its product label -- something which the non-psychics in
    your audience here can't do.

       Doesn't sound like a C3700.  What else doesn't it have?

       If you told them what you wrote here, then that's not amazing.

       If you think that that would make you happy, then I wouldn't dream of
    trying to stop you.  If, on the other hand, you'd like some useful
    information, then you may need to provide some useful information
    yourself, first.

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,
    and look for Documentation.  Get some.  Read.
