PS101 v1 or v2 ???

Good morning

I have a PS101 but the device does not indicate whether it is version 1 or 2.

Does anyone know how to find out which version it is?

Thank you

    That is a seriously old (2003) bit of kit in a product range that Netgear dropped years ago. However, if it followed the usual product numbering scheme, it is V1.

     

    The first launch of any Netgear new model has no V number. Then they get V2, V3 and so on when a new variant comes out.

      Good afternoon, Michael

       

      Thanks for your quick response.

      Indeed, it is very old. I acquired it in 2006, but that's the beauty of it... that it still works and is useful to me.

       

      Thanks again
      All the best

        I can see that it is one of those widgets that could keep a device operating when Microsoft and PC makers try to make it redundant.
