Not a model number. Look for "Model" on the product label.

Thanks for the indirect pointer to the very long thread. My quick
look at it suggested that enabling Telnet access to the router would be
needed to do the actual work.
How, exactly, would you suggest that a victim do that, considering
that Netgear seems to have broken the usual scheme in every R7000
firmware version after V1.0.9.42_10.2.44"?

Or am I missing something?

Re: laptop stolen - how to reset the VPN keys
that really did not seem straightforward and easy.
Netgear does not have proper documentation on how to do this? The link has a bunch of comments and suggestions, I dont know who and what to follow.
Is there a way to only allow certain IP's to connect to my VPN?

That certainly was my impression. Also, I just skimmed over that
procedure, but I got the impression that some of it was not the way
I'd've done things.
But if Telnet (shell) access to the router is a requirement, and
Netgear has removed that capability from every firmware version starting
with "V1.0.9.60_10.2.60" (2018-11-28), then it's not clear that
improving that procedure or its documentation would be helpful.
Whether that four-year-old procedure, if it could be used at all,
would still apply to more recent firmware versions is another mystery.

Still wondering.
