Then when Netgear released a completely new Duo based on the ARM processor they decided to formally call that model the "Duo v2" with the original Duo becoming commonly (but unsurprisingly) known as the "Duo v1" despite there being the 2 versions of that model (and despite the confusion that will obviously occur anyway when you have 2 different products but of virtually identical appearance that are only differentiated by a single digit).
The "-100" in the name signifies the original Duo whereas the new ARM based product features "-200" in the name
