I have a v3 (the best from what I've gathered, with the faster processor and more memory) along with its box and nowhere on the box does it reference a version number. The only way to tell is with the first few characters of the serial number (in my case, CGN5 corresponds to a version 3 of the WRT54GS). Somebody already posted the serial number list below.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14815856 Wed, 16 Nov 2005 03:32:43 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14811471 trparky : There is any easier way! On every box, the version of the device is printed in plain English stating V1, V2, V3, and so on.

he ended up replacing it with a d-link.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14809944 Tue, 15 Nov 2005 12:15:52 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14809737 n8_ball : Had a v5 for a day and I can verify it was utter crap. Found a v3 at Walmart for a decent price and couldn't be happier.

FYI - The box I picked up had the Intel Smart Wireless Solutions on the front. It was a V3. The V5 I took back to Best Buy did not have this on the front.

Therefore, if you don't want a V5 look for Intel Smart Wireless Solutions on the left hand side of the box front.

edit - Actually the setup button is an even better clue.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14809737 Tue, 15 Nov 2005 11:46:15 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14809375 Camelot One : Radio shacks are still carrying V2 and V3, right along side the V5. Fortunately you don't even have to look at the serial to figure out if it's one of the older, and thus better models. Just avoid anything with the "Setup" button in place of the normal Linksys logo.
