R7000 and EAX80

As always, an actual version number would be more useful than your
opinion of what's "latest" today. And, on an R7000, its own opinion is
worth very little.

Any clues as to what that might be? Is it actually a "modem", or a
modem+router, or what? Maker? Model? Any useful info at all?

What, exactly, are these different "model versions"? There's an
R7000P, but that's a different model, not a different "model version".
There are also C7000 and D7000 models, which are also different models.
All of which use different firmware.
A different "model version" would be, say, an R7000v2, which I've
never seen in real life.
Yes, one of the beauties of the R7000 is that there's never been a hardware verion change (I think its the ONLY netgear router, EVER, without a hardware/version change). However, the actual version of the firmware installed would help (and whether is a first edition or a "hotfix").
- Thanks. The version I think is 1.0.9.88
- Actually there is more, 1.0.9.88_10.2.88

Ok, it's an R7000 with old firmware.

Am I talking to myself, here?
- I'll give it a try
