Help me identify myAC68U-AC1900

[finnpolle]

Hi
I just bought a used AC68U, but I can't figure out which HW version it is.
On my old AC68U the white sticker on the back says H/W A1, but the new one just has SN, MAC adress, and PIN on the sticker. (See img) I wonder if the the new one has shielded USB 3 port and a faster GPU?
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Have you tried logging into the router?

With Merlin firmware if you go to Tools ---> Sysinfo it should tell you most of what you want to know.

If the router is stock don't know what the options are.

It is stock...

It is stock...

log-in via ssh.
This command shows CPU and RAM clock

nvram get clkfreq

This command shows the board revision:

nvram get boardrev

Also try:

strings /dev/mtd0 | grep HW_ver

However, I don't know off-hand which HW_ver and/or boardrev maps to the various released versions.

You can telnet into it and do the same.

I installed the latest Merlin FW and it turns out to be H/W A1 (sys info is identical to my old ac68u). A1 should not have shielded a USB3 to my knowledge:

Careful... ssh is a gateway drug. It will lead you places you never intended to go, often in the middle of the night, and you'll realize you have no idea how you got there.
