How to find my WNDR3700 Version (goes from 1 to 5)

Try to determine wich WNDR3700 version I have to find out if I should update the firmware.

 

My firmware version is V1.0.7.98. I Have seen that differents wewer version are available depending of the router version.

 

I am looking at this because recently I have frequent intermitent Wi-Fi internet drop. I did reset the router and change the channel. It does not seem to solve the problem.

       Look at the product label.  Plain "WNDR3700" with no "vX" suffix is
    "v1".

       That seems to be consistent with "v1" (only).  (And there is a newer
    firmware version for that hardware.)

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
    for Downloads.  (For older versions, under Firmware and Software
    Downloads, look for "View Previous Versions".)  Find the kit(s).
    Download the kit(s) you want.  Read the "Release Notes" file for
    instructions.

       Normally, the "Release Notes" file is available from the "Firmware
    and Software Downloads" web page, but, in this case, you apparently need
    to download the kit, extract its contents, and get the "Release Notes"
    file that way.

       Whether the newer firmware solves your problem is a different
    question, of course.
