Log in to your user interface using 192.168.1.1/hidden_info.htm. Note the underscore character between hidden and info. The serial number should be on the second line of the screen. The word serial did not make it cleanly through translation.
As an addendum, if you install the Nighthawk mobile application, I use Android, and connect to your router you can get the serial number of your router. Go to Menu -> About and it will provide your router serial number.
